I agree with the people who keep saying the middle child is ignored. My parents have 4 kids, but the younger two are twins, so technically, I'm talking age when I say middle child. My little brother and sister were born on my 3rd birthday (Literally ON my 3rd birthday, as in we all share the same day.) so when our birthday comes around, they have birthday parties, while I get a happy birthday, some presents, and its over. Even when the 'big' birthdays came around (10 for going into double digits, and this year my sweet 16.) I was swept to the side. And my older sister was their first baby, so OF COURSE they have to make sure she's always doing fine and her life is in order. But, on the other hand, being the middle child does have its benefits. For example, because I haven't been babied to the point where I think rules don't apply to me, I have NEVER even gotten a refferal in school. My siblings have all either gotten ISD (In school detention) or they've been suspended. I don't agree, however, with the people who say the middle child becomes more social because they are seeking attention from people outside the family. I am the shyest and quietest person you may ever meet, while my siblings are social butterflies. I know this may sound a bit shallow, but I believe that middle children tend to be more successful in life. I mean, I'm a great student, I'm multi-talented (singing, dancing, acting, writing....etc.), and I think I'm EXTREMELY intelligent. Like, MENSA smart. The comic made me sad. D:
I agree, and also disagree. I am also the middle child (older brother and younger sister). I have the best marks out of all of them, I have never have gotten a detention, and am really talented. (sports, music, art etc...) But I'm not really ignored in my family. I actually get most of the attention, because of my abilities. and that sucks about your birthdays. :( just go out and have fun with friends. :)
I created an fml account to respond to this :) I am a middle child as well (older fail bro and younger sis that i completely love) and have to say that it really has helped me to be a stronger person. Neglect from parents/relatives because you are never the first one to do anything or the last has made me just do my own thing. For my bro's 18th, he got a big party and all that; for mine no one planned anything so I just went out drinking with friends. I have revenge though; now my bro is going to a worthless college and I'm an OSU Buckeye and he can suck it. Just do your own thing as a middle child and do your best to get ahead in life and you'll do fine. :)
I agree with #9
That really sucks. Do you live with your Dad, or just stay with him sometimes? I remember I used to spend three nights at my Uncle's house every nine days, because my Dad worked nights. One night I arrived to find out there was only one bed in the room my brother and i shared. Apparently, one of his other nieces has asked if she could have it for her guest room. So I was forced to sleep on the floor until my brother and i were old enough to stay home alone.
middle childs? learn to speak.
did anyone think that maybe none of them live with the dad? that all three visit and she has no room when they do. I mean, nobody knows the circumstances. but it seems to be the one left out option.
YDI for bitching about it to us
