Why is it so many (not all) middle children become so difficult in one way or another. There seems to be a chip on their shoulder about something. My brother is the middle one between myself and my sister. He spouts some crap about never havin had mum and dad to himself at any stage in his life, which is true but why should it make a difference.
I saw this programme about it today and some of these kids get so messed up by these issues. One of them stabbed their younger sister through jealousy!
Fuckin mad shit!

I'm the middle child, and I am a firm believer in the whole "middle child syndrome". You have no idea how much it sucks.

i believe in it, my brother is the very best of fuck ups

Yeah I'm a middle child, it's shitty. I just graduated from high school, and I'm starting my first year of university this fall. My sister graduated 2 years ago, yet for some reason she decided to wait until the same year as me to go to uni, so there isn't as much money to go around. On top of that, my mom decided to take her nursing course this year.

Thats why my parents only had 2. And I'm only having 2... or I'm only keeping 2.


(JUST KIDDING TO THAT SECOND PART)

Something tells me that me and my girlfriend wont have children.

Isit because your girlfriend is really your boyfriend?

Eh, im the baby and it does have its advantages

I'm the youngest, so i can't speak from personal experience, but i can certainly see how that could become an issue.

Think about it, the oldest is your parents first child, so there will always be that attachment, and they are also the obviously the first to do everything (driving, going to school/college etc) while it is still new to their parents.

So the middle child comes along and becomes the baby, and just as it gets into an awkward stage in their development, and are used to being the main object of their parents attention, along comes this new little kid, and they are no longer the baby of the family.

This new little kid totally steals their limelight, and all the attention previously focused on the middle child becomes redirected towards the new kid.

The older child will never stop being given attention because they are doing stuff that is still new and exciting for their parents, and the middle child just sort of slips into the background. The older child has already done what he's doing, and the youngest is not only cuter, but simply needs the attention alot more.

Therefore the middle child feels ignored, unappreciated and unloved which can cause them to act out in order to get attention.

I'm a last child so I got babied to death

Im the oldest but I only live with 1 of my brothers, the other two live with my pops

i got 2 older siblings and three younger.. i dont really care about being the "middle child" less attention on me means i can fuck around more.

^Good point there

This sorta doesn't go here, but.... what about having big acts to follow. I mean I'm the younger of 2. But my sister is pre-med at an ivyleague school and still getting fucking 3.7 or better. Anyone else feel like you've got a lot of shit to live up to cuz of sibs?

Hah yeah that's what I'm riding on. I got my insurance a week ago, and my older sister doesn't have her beginners. My sister is taking 3 courses at uni for one semester, while I have a full course load for the full year. I have a job, my sister lives off unemployment.
