A child in a family is neither first or last is called the middle child. In a 3 child family, it is the 2nd child, etc.
This child usually gets the least amount of attention, because he/she is not the parent's first, and not deemed as 'special' enough, and is not the parent's last, and so is not treated like the baby.
This creates social tension between the family. The middle child would be the outcast while the rest of the family can have a laugh with each other.
However, in a family where there are seperate parents, creating half-siblings, where the child is in the middle of one side of the family, and is the first or only child in the other side, the middle child may become brattish, and demand everything he/she wants because he/she can get away with it with the other parent.
In the case of bratty middle children, the oldest usually looses out and then becomes the outcast, being independant and deals with how they recieve less attention than the middle child.

Only-Child-Syndrome
a teenager or young adult that still acts like a self-centered little bitchbaby because they were coddled by their parents for their entire lives. These motherfuckers will get mad if you forget their birthday, or miss even the smallest of parties or events. They will likely have close relationships with their neighbors to make up for the lack of siblings. They think that they are entitled to everything and are spoiled rotten by their parents and grandparents. You will likely find them complaining or more commonly whining. They are so sheltered, they likely have little knowledge on any adult-topics and an even greater lack of social skills. Do not get involved with an only child.

Like child protective services, but in Mexico because they'll place your damn children in a semi and keep them for sex trade.

me: Yeah.. I heard about her getting kidnapped by CTS. Hope she's ok
