I’m an only child. There are benefits and drawbacks to being born “the only”. All the typical stereotypes apply. I have my mother’s undivided attention, the proverbial world revolved around me and yes, I did grow up a touch self absorbed. On the flip side, all the pressure’s on me. There are no other siblings…
