Hi folks, I have heard quite a few comments from people when they hear that I am an only child! Though I am well adjusted and all that, I cannot help but wondering if we are truly rare!!! I also have issues with chicks who flip out once they hear the fact,  , and those who turn to leeches  when they hear same! Yeah! I know that there are variants; only child of both parents, only child of single parents, and the adopted child of both parents. It truly doesnt matter, because when push comes to shove you will realise that they are all the same- Kids that have had to learn 'life' ALONE!If you are of this unique breed, please let's hear of your experiences, if you are not, please tell us what you think of 'we'!  |

@poster, well I'm not an only child. but i may be another variant because I'm an only girl. only daughter, only grand-daughter and only great-grand-daughter (thats how far i can remember correctly) though i have 4 brothers, but really while growing up, especially in the adolescence stage, i really felt odd and confused about a lot of things. my brothers wonder why i "waste" my time doing my hair, whenever i try to keep my nails long, they accuse me of pinching them and beg me to cut them off!  even now as an adult some things happen at times and i just wished i had a sister. whenever i ask them how my attire look after dressing up, they just wonder why I'm bothering myself with that! they don't understand why i have to buy another makeup or hair product and lots more. also when other girls talk so much about their experiences with their sisters i just wonder what it feels like because ive never felt it! i may have females as friends and all that but it can never be like ur own blood sister. ive learnt to come to terms with it anyway. and my 4 brothers are fun to be with and they have in their own way tried to feel the gap.  |

I am an only child. You enjoy it when you're much younger but when u grow older you would realise how lonely you can become. people keeping you out of family conversations, yr friends then become your family

Havent u seen sibling rivalry that makes you praise God that you have none? There's quite a bit to be said for being alone though-u get to think real deep (If you don't do too much pot  ) I am an only child.

I actually had a problem with them wanting to over involve me in family talk o! I cannot honestly say I have 'friends'- i am more of an animal person sha (Dogs, snakes (just 2 o) and the occasional monkey  ) |

There's quite a bit to be said for being alone though-u get to think real deep (If you don't do too much pot ) Yes you actually made a point there. when i see or hear what some sibling make each other go through, i can't help but thank God for my own situation as i am free from such hatred and also enjoy my freedom. but on the other hand i feel bored and alone and have to do all the thinking,and sometimes, i even feel i am not wanted and strange when i am with my cousins who have siblings. moreso as a female i get to hear a lot from people expecially men that i must be an overpampared child,i must be this i must be that.which in actuall sence is not so because dad can be very strict and hard attimes on me making it even worse but mum has always being the over ever loving mum that she gets a lot of "you are spoiling her attitude,you are spending too much on her etc"from my aunts and other family members. i love my world |

I always told myself that i wasn't going to date an only child or an only son.
reason is because their parents get too attached to them
to make it worse, now i am dating not only an only son but also the only child.
his mum raised him alone and sometimes i feel so sorry for masef,
not because of him but the way his mum is soooooo attached to him and
all hell is loose if she doesn't hear from him in a day. I am the first person
that she calls saying that she is looking for her son.
looking at it in different angle, I can't really blame her because he is all she's got
especially in this part of the world. To raise a son, give him good education
and now he's all grown up, got his focus right, and got a good job.
talk about "NEVER SAY NEVER"!

@ Vera I feel u my sis, but I learnt to turn my 'aloneness' to my greatest advantage; I was always doing (and acquiring) unique stuff that made my cousins seek me out ! But let's be truthful o- we do know how to get things to go in our favour I always told myself that i wasn't going to date an only child or an only son.
