The Hazards of Being an Only Child
Many people who have grown up in multi-child families think that being an only child is the best of all possible worlds. They point to such benefits as the only child’s annual new wardrobe and the lack of competition for parental love. But single-child status isn’t as good as people say it is. Instead of having everything they want, only children are sometimes denies certain basic human needs.
slide overOnly children lack companionship. An only child can have trouble making friends, since he or she isn’t ud to being around other children. Often, the only child comes home to an empty hou; both parents are working, and there are no sisters or brothers to play with or to talk to about the day. At dinner, the single child can’t tell jokes, giggle, or throe food while the adults discuss boring adult subjects. An only child always has his or her own room but never has anyone to whisper to half the night when sleep doesn’t come. So
me only children thrive on this isolation and channel their energies into creative activities like writing or drawing. Owing to this lack of companionship, an only child sometimes lacks the social ea and lf-confidence that come from being part of a clo-knit group of contemporaries.
Second, only children lack privacy. An only child is automatically the center of parental concern. There’s never any doubt about which child tries to sneak in after midnight on a weekday. And who will get the lecture the next morning. Also, whenever an only child gives in to a bad mood, runs into his or her room, and slams the door, the door will open thirty cond later, revealing an anxious parent. Parents of only children sometimes don’t even understand the chil d’s need for privacy. For example, they may not understand why a teenager wants a lock on the door or a personal telephone. After all, the parents think, there are only the three of us, ther e’s no need for crets.ction>典范
Most importantly, only children lack power. They get all the love; but if something goes wrong, they also get all the punishment. When a bottle of perfume is knocked to the floor or the television is left on all night, there’s no little sister or brother to blame
it on. Moreover, an only child has on recour when asking for a privilege of some kind, such as permission to stay out late or to take an overnight trip with friends. There are on other siblings to point to and say, “You let them do it. Why won’t you let me? With on allies their own, age, only children are always outnumbered, two to one. An only child hasn’t a chance of influencing any major family decisions, either. ”Being an only child isn’t as special as some people think. It’s no fun being without friends, without privacy, and without power in on e’s own home. But the child who can triumph over the hardships grows up lf-reliant and strong. Perhaps for this reason alone, the hazards are worth it.
