Dating an only child
Dating an only child is a great challenge. Generally, when people hear “only child” it either means mama’s boy for guys or daddy’s girl for ladies. Sometimes we tend to label each person by these lines. I thought so myself. But in my own experience, I have proven that not all only child are brats or spoiled as what others usually call them.
I am dating an only child. I consider him an exception to all only children I have met. I salute the discipline that his parents had taught him. He is not brought up to have all the wants in life. He has good values and respect for everyone. We’ve been dating for five years now and I am proud to say that we rarely have fights. I’d say it comes with balancing the mood at the moment an argument would arise. Despite my nagging attitude at times, he would manage to transform my mood into a more positive outlook. I truly love the humility in him.
He is a rare find. Despite imperfections in this world, with the right balance in a relationship either with an only child or not, the upbringing of a person is all accounted for through parents.

[...] Daily Bedpost on 22 Jul 2008 Pity the only children out there: after all, it’s not their fault that their parents decided to indulge their every waking desire and never make them question their right to absolute undiluted devotion and attention. Er, we mean, it’s not their fault that they don’t have siblings. Seriously, though, only children get a bad rap, huh? So much so that this woman feels like she has to use her blog to defend her decision to date an only child and insist that it’s not that bad, really. So what do you think…would a lack of siblings affect your decision to go out with someone? Would you date an only child? ( polls) [...]
