Anyone here the "middle" child

[Japanese machine]

i have an older bro and a younger sis, and it seems that i always get treated like shit by parents; meaning i have to do more and to get the same amount of appreciation they get for doing jack shit.

Just wondering if its just me

Im the middle, the older, and the younger. Being an only child rules.

cool, so to answer my question, do you feel you get treated equally like you should?

I don't ask for the things that my brother and sister ask for, therefore I don't get the same....I suspect that if I actually asked for things, I would get them. But I don't want my mother in my business and if I accepted things from her, she would feel justified in being in my business....But I'm 30 years old, so my perspective might be a bit different from yours.

I got an older step-sis, and a younger step-sis who live with me. My older brother lives with my mom. So I get a dose of middle child treatment, and some of the younger child treatment.

My mom still treats me like I'm 8, and is naive, not sure if it's intentional, about who I am. Thinks I'm a non-drinking, virgin, who is not capable of making my own decisions. She is way off the mark.

thanks, i feel the same way about excepting things like money~however i work 3x harder to get the same amount or respect and, its starting to really hit close to home lately.

i just get pissed sometimes because they are extrememly naive and only believe the things they want to hear, the rest of it, is either scattered or ignored. Its pretty sad when you own parents dont even know you.

Not only this but they discourage my BB goals too, what up with that?: My mom says i look discusting and cant even look at me unconditional love? fuck no!

Maybe if i ate mcdonald everyday and slept in till 3:00pm instead of gettting up at 5:00 to do cardio...........I should of stayed at MY home in TO where i belong.

one thing I notice about myself being a middle child is that I tend to be more 'even-keel' than my other two siblings. I don't feel that I have to prove myself and I am very self-sufficient in a lot of ways.
Older children seem to always have to prove themselves and feel worthy. I dated an Eldest child and I could never be perfect enough for her because she never felt perfect.
Youngest children tend to be extroverted and hog a lot of attention.
I tend to be more of a deep-thinker and more abstract in my intelligence.

I'm a middle child of a family of seven. Nine if you count my half siblings, but they were out of the house when I was born. I think once you get up into those numbers, it doesn't matter as much.

Boo-Hoo-Hoo! Listen to all you middle children crying out for attention. I'm the oldest of four and I paved the road for my younger siblings. I was the first to run my parents through the mill and teach them the ways of life. Now i'll say that none of my siblings are no where as wild as I was but what they did was tame compared to me so my parents did not even blink. Did I even get as much as a thank you for this service? No! So all you middle brats should go and thank your older siblings for breaking in your parents for you!
