Not to mention when it comes to doing the hard part of the work,they will all point to you as if boys have supernatural powers |

It's boring and the loneliness na die, Most times you get to consider the feelings of the other members of your family before making certain decisions for example a man who is the only son in his family will have to think and re-think on wanting to be a catholic priest. Your parents will want you to marry from your community or state. Its kinda fun having all the attention to your self. |

O boy, not easy o. Only son among 8 sisters. Not too close to my parents to avoid over pampering, don't like that. Have to ask friends questions on guys issues, thank God I have good friends. Have to face pressure to marry early, though not married yet with restrictions to marry from my town. No brother to share with when we are all home during festive periods. I pray I have more boys than girls when I marry |

kaze4blues: Hi nairalanders, this just got me cracking ma ribs. Well, we are two guys and three chick5, my elder brother is the second child while am the last and my elder brother never met the required basic expectation so being frank my parents are super strict on me........it's like they've given up on him.........I don't go out......am suppose to think, talk behave like a man even from an early tender age.........i will say it works both ways, there are advantages and disadvantages |

The feeling of being an only male child is indescribable! You can't understand it if you ain't one. It ranges from the killing load of responsibilities (Dos & Don'ts), the suffocating chains of expectations (you're automatically a bag of hope), the freezing condition of loneliness (physical & emotional), the state of hyper-sensitivity (being extra careful in one's dealings especially with non-'bloodly'-related females) to the compulsory religious path (if you've got religious parents). Just consider yourself as always a child even when it's obvious you're a grown a$$ man. Hmmm, e hard o!!! |

Am d only son and last born with six elder sisters! Stay in an extended family house, my dad is late 2 compound matters so am seen as my mum husband, can u imagine! Evry of my 3 immediate elda sis wants me 2 follow dem wen going out, advice dem on boyfrnd issues( u go fear advicer) and on certain decision. But due to my cool headedness am always bin used as a reference point 2 my cousins by their parents. One of d adv i lyk d most is dat i can easily wine dem to said me money yl at sch as dey always want my happiness nd success. On a last note so much is xpectd 4rm me 4rm both my nuclear nd extended family. |

Ho-ho-ho...story of my life!! Well, I'm the only girl four. Got one elder bro and 2 younger bros...wasn't tough for me, only I became a woman/mother very early. I started cooking at age 9 when the last maid left. I was responsible for chore-sharing and enforcement, making sure my kid bros were back in time for supper, made sure they had clean-ironed uniformes for sch d next day. I wouldn't sleep until everyone was home.. Total welfare of my bros fell on me at a very young age. I didn't know if I was supposed to dislike/hate it at the time, cos I was made to believe that's how all girls behave. Anyways, beside the boredom which left me shy, it was fun growing up! It has made me a strong, confident but shy independent woman...and am I glad! |

Shaw007: I can relate 100%. I'm the last born too and I don't even have friends.It's annoying how I still live with them cos I'm pretty much young. Once I start making money,I disappear!!! |

Albertone:Lol brother, I wrote that in 2013, that’s 9 years ago, I’ve learnt a lot in that time and grown too. What I’ll tell you is that it gets better, by a lot, right now I see my family like once a year because of work and life basically , and I wish I had more time to spend with them, I wish I had cherished the time I did have to spend with them, it’s all love bro, you might not see it yet, but you will, I promise. |
