Answer 1

It's true that middle kids get a little squished between the others. Growing up in my family, people I knew sometimes forgot the middle kid existed (not close friends, of course, but mine was a large family with a lot of boys, so people tend to lump them together). It didn't help that Middle Boy is naturally easygoing and has a rather quiet personality.
On the other hand, being the oldest and getting more attention was definitely not always a good thing. Oldest kids are a lightning rod for criticism, and mom and dad are learning their parenting skills mainly by screwing up on the oldest. Even in great families this happens. Parents are usually strictest with the oldest, and most lenient with the youngest. It's not fair, of course, but like my mom always said: "Life isn't fair, kid."

Answer 2

im not the middle child but i know what ur saying my big bro has a bad attitiude 24/7 and he gets to do almost everything he wants! it makes me mad. then i am the youngest and me and my mom have a great relationship. i look like her act like her in a lot of ways and have her attitude. my twin sister is the middle child she stays locked in her room almost all day long, she scrapes the bottom of the barrel to find friends and has a mouth that dosent quit! that is why she doesnt get attention. now she is grounded for the rest of the year from internet b/c she didnt listen she was told not to talk to someone ever again but did thru email. i hope u have a better life than her. good luck!

Answer 3

im not the middle child actually, im the youngest of 3. but for some odd reason i always felt like the middle child. my brother who's the oldest always got a lot of attention n since he was the first, my parents tried to do the best for him. my sister is the middle one, but she's the baby girl in the family n she's spoiled so my parents always got her watever she wanted so she wouldn't whine like a baby. by the time i came, i think my parents were exhausted from raisin the other too so they were kinda like, "the hell wit u...." attitude with me. they kinda just leave me alone n i get left out a lot. i hate being the last one, i wish i could switch places with my stupid brother!!!

Answer 4

I'm a grown middle child. I was the ignored kid. during my teens, I'd eat my dinner on the sofa before everyone else ate at the table. I revelled in being alone, and hated it at the same time.
My oldest sister was the rebel, older brother the 1st boy, and younger sister was not afraid to ask for what she wanted.

Answer 5

im a middle child too i was the youngest till i was 11 but for the last 6 years iv got a raw deal but poor you at least im the only girl

Answer 6

I have 3 kids... and I try my best to make sure my middle one doesnt get the "short end of the stick" I always try to make sure, if one gets something.. they all get something... Unless I take one to the dr, then no, they get the candy or the little something extra... Honey, all I can say, is it will get better the older you get... and maybe sit mom down and point it out... we do things we dont realize and I am not affraid to admit that.. parents are not perfect.... we make mistakes, have made mistakes, and will continue to make mistakes.. good luck

Answer 7

i know middle children get left out from experience.
see i was graduating from middle school and my younger bro was principals list for like the third time. So i thought my parents would come to my thing not his but no they went to his awards and missed me graduating. after i got home they didn't even say sorry or ask if it was OK that they missed it.

Answer 8

i know whatcha mean. i'm a middle too. but i don't have it the same way as you, i just kinda tend to disappear. you seem to assert yourself more, but honestly, i would tell your parents how you feel. they probably don't realize they are doing it. OR it could be that your older sister has money of her own to spend and your mom didn't want to spend money that day.

Answer 9

Im the oldest child and let me tell you its happens to us to. Usally we get less cuz the younger ones need it worse

Answer 10

First born. all the duty and expectancies, and no older siblings to look as much as for training. could do each and everything first interior the family individuals, so the mum and dad make all the blunders with the 1st born.
