It's strange @CarlitaAlfonso that in my family, being the oldest, I always got blamed for things my middle sister did. I wonder if that might have been a generation thing. I don't know everyone's ages here but my parents came from the depression era and their parenting skills were far from the best.

There is a lot of positivity in me and shown because I didn't want to past down what I saw and learned. The favoritism that was shown around me to the older and younger is destructive. I know the world says that what doesn't break you makes you stronger but I don't agree. I've never said that to anyone because if you are broken, how can you be stronger? It broke me because you ask yourself that question a lot, what was wrong with you? Why were you skipped over, why not you? I'm strong but not because of that. I'm strong for many other reasons and the biggest is my relationship with God. Growing up the middle child did a lot of damage. In my head I can't imagine skipping over one of my children just because they are the middle child. I would love to ask a parent, why?

It's weird Elsa and I say that based on what you just said. In my house since I was the hated one (middle child), I got blamed for everything the oldest and youngest did. I also saw were the oldest in a lot of house hold was held responsible for everything because they were the oldest. I don't agree with that because the oldest shouldn't be responsible for the other children. The oldest didn't give birth to them therefore not there responsibility.

Well I'm the second and youngest one for my mother, God bless her soul, but my father has another child after me so maybe I'm a middle child??? 🤔

Dr. Phil just stated on his show dated today, " Take it from a middle child, it's easy to disappear".

I'm the sixth out of seven children. Some of the traits apply, though I'm more of a loner because growing up in such a large family and everyone wants to be the leader (bossy ha ha)! So I can be very stubborn and obstinate to safeguard my peace and quiet. I've definitely been a big rebel in my youth which allowed me my freedom and space.
Happy National Middle Child Day to all middle children!
