You're not alone, many families don't show preference in some cases they are harder on you because they don't want you to feel privileged in any way, its for your good.




Yeah, sure. I wouldn't have been half the man I am today, if I had been over-protected. I'm glad you understand perfectly well. Thank you.

Lol, nothing preferential in my family, nothing like only son, thank God I'm not Igbo grin

An Igbo man may just sweep you off your feet. In all their chauvinism, they know how to be men for their women.

I am only interested in the rich ones (in diaspora). The rest I dash to Peeress and Zmpp. “Good girls“ are hardly ever fortunate anyway. grin

I am a happily married woman and my eldest child may even senior you. I understand the reason why you always think that any woman who calls you out for your hypocrisy does so for a personal interest, but everyone is not like you my child. Most of us are not looking for husbands. Of course, good girls are always fortunate, so stop deceiving the younger ones. It is the end that always justify the means.

Only a foolish man or a man who God wants to punish will take you for a wife, especially if you do not change for good,

While I was out on my first date with my girlfriend, she asked me how many sibling I have, to which I replied. She then proceeded to ask the number of males and females. Then I told her I only have sisters. That moment, her face dropped because we were already Into each other, I could tell she was disappointed.

She tried to hide this, but I noticed. This was Probably because that wasn't the first time I would be getting that reaction from people especially women the moment I tell them I'm the only son of my parents.

I queried her on her sudden change of mood and she told me that she has had unfavorable relationship experiences (twice) in the past with only Sons and has vowed never to try it again. She reasoned that only Sons are too clingy to their families, overpampered, emotionally needy and dependent on their families and hardly have a mind of their own. She also accused the families of always trying to pilot the affairs of the guys even to the extent of making life changing decisions for them.

When i was young, I also had friends who thought I was pampered, showered with extraordinary love and care and that my parents can't turn down any request from me. But the truth is that I never got any special treatment from my parents. The same curtain wire, broom, hanger my mom used to whip my sisters, she also used on me.

My point is that it's unfair to lump people together and label them. If an only son happens to be clingy, it has nothing to do with his status. He would have still been that way if he had 10 brothers.
Statistically, the way they (Only son) are pampered is worse than you think.
I have a cousin who is the only son as well, when we were kids he was really pampered that if not for my own siblings love, I would have felt bad. Today, his parents regret every bit of pampering towards him, I just can't explain his behaviour here because I can't imagine doing such to my parents.

There is this preferential treatment given to only sons, it is permissible for them not to do chores, cook, our parents sometimes bring them up like a lion, and it ends up becoming a societal problem.

Many of them can hardly fix something good (I am not talking about noodles o) in the kitchen when no lady is nearby.

Forget talk.

The main issue which she didn't tell you is the possibility of having issues with your mum should she marry you.

If child birth delays by 2 years, then you won't even recognize your mum as preparations to get another wife for you ripens.

If I were a woman, I won't marry only son. Forget talk.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

That is not true

Your girl friend knows nothing about what she is saying

Am also the only son
I got five female siblings

Huzzling go nearly finish you. Stress! You need a great sense of responsibility. You need mental strength
Some matter go happen ehnnn. Those girls nor go fit jump follow you. Na only you go face am. Sometimes you will feel lonely. You go dey huzzle dey use your money for reasonable things for the house but their own money them go dey use am for all type of hair styles: braiding, twisting, Rihanna, bob Marley, buy weavon. Fix okuku hair styles. Them go dey fix nails even fix nails when dey show light in the night. Them go dey mix expensive cream

The only thing i benefits is the unending love they do show me. They direct all their love towards me because girls actually don't love themselves! No household chores for me. I can wake up at anytime and eat.
Fear nor dey let them talk for outside but na for house them dey show muscle!

To do this first, you need money and I mean enough money. Cos without money the pressure alone can kill you before your time or you fit run mad with over thinking on how to make things work. I am an only son and first child I know what's going on. Every day I pray for grace and mercy. [color=#000099][/color]

Bro...It is no stereotype but the absolute truth.

The level of favoritism that goes into being the only son is astonishing!

You are likened to the “Golden egg” who will carry the family’s legacy (hence being a spoilt child). Don’t allow the 21st century’s manipulation that all child are equal deceive you. You will always get favored by your parents than your siblings. undecided

This one you are complaining about being the only son, what do you want those of us who are the First born son to do?
