People always talk about the first child due to their role as being the oldest. They complete mistakes, accomplishments, and honestly, they complete anything first. Then you have the youngest, who is the baby. Of course, all of the focus is on them due to people never thinking they will ever grow up no matter if they are 6 or 26. If you have an older sibling and a younger, then you must be the middle. With the role as the middle child, you probably don't feel the same positively as your other siblings. This is because you might suffer from the imaginary, "Middle Child Syndrome." Don't worry, all of the other "middles" are with you.
1. You feel like you are always getting blamed
You are still at fault even though the issue does not even come close to involving you.
2. You feel forgotten
You will tell your parents how an occasion went and they respond with, "Oh that was today?"
3. You know your older sibling can get away with it, so you do it...and now you are in trouble
For instance, you realize that your older sibling at your age was allowed to stay out longer, so you do it. Then you come home and it is World War III.
4. You will never be the center of attention
The oldest child is the most important because they are always throwing obstacles at your parents. Then the youngest comes along and your parents cherish the moments they have with their last "baby."
5. Your parents never ask what you are doing
You could go hours or even a day without your parents wondering what you are up to. This is great when you want to escape.
6. You get calls from your parents when favors are needed.
You get so excited that your parents are calling to ask about what you are up to. Then you get hit with the, "I need you to do this for me."
7. You could tell your parents something obscene and they still wouldn't believe you
You throw a question at them to get their attention and they still just say "yes" without listening to you.
8. Middle will always be "average"
You know that you will always be the average child, so you accept it and abuse the invisible privileges.
