Being an only child has its ups and downs, but moms know way too well some things in their life will never change. Only children deal with always being alone, but that means that almost always, they get closer to either their mom or their dad.

These are 10 things moms know if they only have one child.

1. You have way too many pictures of your child in the house

Growing up, your mom had way too many pictures of you hanging around the house as though she would never see you again.

2. You get calls from daycare that they do NOT share

Only children have all the toys at their house to themselves, so why should they share their toys at daycare?

3. The child asks for a little brother or sister from Santa

Parents probably dread reading this on their child's list because "Santa" will NOT be bringing them a sibling for Christmas.

4. You are constantly defending your kid from being called "spoiled"

My mom always said, "she's not spoiled, she's blessed."

5. You fully decorate their room so it looks perfect

Your child wants an Elsa bedroom? I bet you are gonna find a way to build her or get her an Elsa ice castle bed.

6. When the child graduates you are constantly asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Your life will go on. Your child did not dictate your past, in fact, you dictated their future, so the child should be asked what they are going to do now?

7. You can go on more vacations.

Fewer people to pay for, means the more often you can go on vacations.

8. You pay less for babysitters.

"Oh! I only have 1 kid! This should only cost $20, right?"

9. The kid gets ALL the attention.

Your kid is on the honor roll? Congrats, but I promise you they don't need an entire week devoted to them getting on the honor roll.

10. There is no guessing who broke the lamp.

There is nobody else for the child to blame, so how are they possibly supposed to get away with running in the house?
