yup, I guess being the middle child doesn’t get much attention.

It is either the eldest or the youngest who gets the best love and priority

Middle child syndrome. The middle child is always the one who gets left out. I was subjected to my sister’s feelings of being the middle child. I always get the mom and dad spoiled you because you were the baby of the family. By the way, this is totally unfounded. I was born 8 years after my older sister, so it was pretty much like being an only child by the time I was 10 or 11 because both my older sisters were gone from the house. However, I still had to do chores to earn everything I got. They still like to tease me about this to this day.

Being the middle child, you don’t get favouritism.

Thatis the advantage to me.

You don’t have to be involve with siblings rivalry!

How i wish that i am not the older child, too much responsibilities to bear

@morgoodie

Gee, your case is quite different from here.

Most of my friends who are the middle child don’t have to do much.

Their existence seems like not existing at all in the parents eyes.

In addition, they are very lonely. Not fit in the family that kind of feeling.

They don’t get anything or favor.

Usually the youngest siblings gets everything.

I guess every household different way of upbringing

I think if i had parents I would make sure I get closer to both of them

May 10, 2016 at 6:31 pm

None, we keep in touch only over the phone for my kid, my mother and sister had the restraining order for being verbally abusive towards my partner and violent towards me. There is no contact whatsoever.

@peachpurple  That’s a very beautiful sketch. I love the drawings you share with your blog posts. Coming to your question, it’s quite difficult for me to answer. I am a single child. Since childhood ,my parents used to ask this question and I always used to answer ‘mummy-papa’. I can never choose one between the two.

@swalia/

thanks for , your share.

Being the only child it is difficult to say who you are closer too.

Both parents are good to you, because you are the apple of the eye.

By means, you are right, saying papa and mama is the best answer.

They won’t feel unfair and judgmental.

Good answer my friend.

@peachpurple  I remember how my parents use to entice me with various things just to make me name one of them as their favorite. But my answer always used to be the same. If my father used to ask, I would answer Papa Mummy and if my mom used to ask, I would say “Mummy Papa”. This was the only difference in my answers. Whosoever asked, I would put their name first while answering. Eventually my parents stopped asking 🙂

@swalia/

wow, that was a good trick!

Using the person’s name in your first reply worked out well.

You know, my son isn’t clever at this type of trick.

When dad asked him whom he liked best, he said MOMMY, look at disappointed daddy face !

He put me in first place, I know that, he is much closer to me.

My teenager on the other hand is much closer to her dad.

If I were you, I would do the same too.

Mummy and daddy because you are the only child in your parents heart.

Good answer girl !

So, you are still staying with your parents?

Yeah, well how not here to say super close to my mother, I love maximum and she on me, especially when we pass from one to the other states.

Always know what happens to us two, it is super, especially when you go shopping, it is hard cool when I see that she wants to be just like me.

I do not see it as a mother, I see it as a friend or more than that simply is very goose and even deserve the best.
