[quote=Anonymous]The worst thing about being an only child (I am one) is awareness of the stereotype. I can't remember when I became aware of it - probably teen years. I was already insecure about everything that a teenage girl typically is, but then I found myself wondering if being an only child made me "bratty, spoiled, etc." I mentioned it to my grandma and I still remember her response. She told me that I'm not really that unique and that there are actually lots of only children. Grandma had 4 daughters and a son. She said that a psychologist would label her boy was an only child. Based on grandma's theory, a family with one boy and one girl was a family with 2 only children. All of this was to reassure me that the stereotype was crap. I know that this story is not exactly on point with OP's question or issue, I was just reminded of it while reading this thread and I wanted to share. [/quote]
