i wish i knew, i am a middle child, and my parent have always treeted my plder bro better, while treeting me like durt. they are always saying " he is a better son than you are" or "why cantyoube more like him" or "he will be a lot better than you will be after college, and he will make more money" as if! he has no clue about what he wants to do after college and he is 18, i am 16 and i know what i want o do, where i want to go, and when i get there i will be making $150+ a hour. now lets see if he can top that. i dont think he can, in the real world my parents have no say in who turns out better, although they are going to help him pay for college a lot more than they will help me, they have already said that. but i will do it my self, who cares what they say!

middle children tend to be the scape-goat.
they tend to be attention seekers
And for the record, all of my 4 (four) children are as different as night and day, and I could never compare the 1st to the 2nd, 2nd to the 3rd, and so on....
Every child has unique qualities, and if a middle child is feeling left out or "looked down on" , perhaps actions are being reacted to by the parent!
Let the parents know how the middle child is feeling, if not in person, write it down. Parents will listen.

it's more or less part of the parent- middle child relationship, they pick on the middle child because they expect just as much brilliance as your older brother or sister. Unfortunatly they attempt to bring that brilliance out of the middle child because they believe competition will help....but in the end it doesn't. If you happen to be the middle child of your family, create your own expectations for yourself, always tell your parents you are trying hard to be the best you can be...not the best your older sibling is...or is not. Find your own dreams, your own aspirations...and hopefully your parents will recognize your uniqueness. Goodluck!

We are terrible people and we wished we only had two children, the first and the third. NOT REALLY. Parents do not, believe it or not, favor one child over another. They just want you to be the best you can be. If it gets too bad, let them know that you aren't your older sibling and to try and accept you for who you are cause you have unique qualities and characteristics too.

They don't. I expect my middle child to do his best, not his big sister's best. If it bothers you, talk to your parents. Just remember, parents are human. They raise you the best they know how. Not the best, but the best they can do. So respectfully point it out to them and talk. If you don't say anything, they honesty might not realize what they are doing.
