In this case I don't want to use awakeFromInsertion as the relationship is very, very optional (i.e. small % of entities have not-null relationship.)

I'm I missing something here? What does being optional (or even very, very optional) have to do with using awakeFromInsertion?

Dave,

At the time the parent entity is created I don't know if I'll need the related entity. I don't want to create an empty EO every time I create a new parent as there are literally hundreds of thousands of parents and maybe a few thousand with the need for the child.

Think User --> Preferences with 99% of users content to inherit default settings and never override. For the odd one that does a preferences object is created and the relationship established.
