7 Personality Traits Of Only Children As Adults That Prove We Don't Deserve The Bad Rap
 
"Only children get a bad rap, and I should know because I am one," writes Brianne Hogan today. "For example, when my parents bought me a new winter coat in the seventh grade, I was immediately shamed for it by my classmates. 'You're an only child, so you're spoiled' they said to me (never mind the fact I had undergone a growth spurt and needed a new coat so I wouldn't freeze to death)."

Well, today she's speaking up for her fellow onlys, with a list of seven personality traits that prove the world sees them in all the wrong ways. Keep it in reserve for the next time somebody questions your decision to be one and done.

I Need My Kids To Understand Snacks Don't Grow On Trees
 
"I don't love playing the 'I had it worse than you card, so you better be thankful' card because I hated it when my parents went on that tangent, but sometimes I feel compelled to do it," writes Katie Bingham-Smith today. The subject? Snacks. Specifically, the fact that they cost money and they aren't a self-replenishing natural resource that springs from thin air. Give it a read, and I bet you'll find yourself nodding in agreement.
