2. Your parents probably didn’t pay quite as much attention to you growing up.
The little ones feed off attention. Constantly.
5. Do your parents even know you exist?
6. Studies suggest middle children will become creative problem-solvers.
Pick up the book The Secret Power Of Middle Children

I’ve been in all three roles: I was the youngest for 16 years until my little brother was born, the middle for a couple of months until my older brother moved out, and now the oldest of the two of us still living at home. You can’t really terrorize a kid young enough to be my own, but I try to give him the ‘notmal’ sibling relationship. :)

bruceh6 4 months agoCouple of issues… you’re defining a Middle Child in the loosest of terms (anyone not born first or last), but a TRUE Middle Child knows better! SO, Malcolm & Madonna aren’t REAL Middle Children. And NO WAY over 50% of Presidents are Middle Children. And Wednesday Adams was the baby! (unless you include Thing). But I guess my BIGGEST issue with your post is that there was no mention of ME! :) If you want the REAL dirt on all things Middle Child, check out the blog: smackdabtheblog.blogspot.com.

KatieP11 4 months agoI was actually the youngest child who got the middle child treatment. My brother was the first grandchild in my whole family who was adorned upon, my sisters were the first granddaughters. I was born during a family baby-boom where my aunts and uncles all produced 6 children in a years’ time. My grandparents were exhausted. I was also born 3 months premature and my first bedroom was in my parents’ closet since we didn’t have any room for me. Things got a little better, and then my youngest brother was born when I was 11 and the family completely forgot about me.
