Middle children are either rejected by their parents or completely forgotten. Many parents don’t remember the middle child’s name and struggle remembering their birthday. The middle child is often a goon of the older child seeking approval from somebody. For some reason they always have terrible injuries that aren’t their fault, then the parents get mad because of the hospital bill

Disrespected, underrated, best of the family, never gets to go to their friends house, the parent never focuses on them, and it's sad.

The middle child is often sad and depressed. They like to wear black and have no taste in fashion. They used to be happy but then another child was born. The middle child is often forgotten. They are often weak and like to cause fights. They usually have little friends. The youngest are often known as the golden child and that's why the middle child is jealous of the youngest.

You are the mistake in the family. It’s because your disgusting mf ass dad thought it would be a great idea to skip the condom and then he decided not to fucking pull out because he is a deusch bag! And then your mom thought you looked cute and decided to have sex again and ASKED for another kid.
The middle child is the most annoying and can get away with any shit possible because no one recognizes them!

Middle Child Syndrome is when a child is born in between other child and feels negleted. The middle child is faced threw challenges such as feeling like nothing, not worth, no one caring, ect. An Older child gets lots of attention, and gets everything first. They are the "most dependable" ones through the eyes of family members/parents. The younger child also known as "the baby" of the family gets most attention. This child gets the most attention and can get away with anything. They usually have less discipline. The middle child is usually left without anything. People tend to not notice they're there.the end up feeling left out and forgotten.parents don't usually focus on there needs only their dire emergencies. Middle children seek love and happiness through friends and become social butterflies. But through Neglection by parents the child drifts away and becomes a loner with family.

Oldest: yeah! My birthday... Mom can I please get my hair done. (Hair cut, low lights)
Middle: it's my birthday... Hello?
Mom: sorry honey but I just paid school fees can't really afford any birthday presents right now, if it helps I didn't get your (older) sister anything.
Middle: it's fine (mind: it's fine if you can't afford anything, but seriously a card is like a dollar, just a dollar. Glad I'm not worth a dollar)

When a middle child - typically of a family of three kids who are close in age - feels left out or neglected.
Because the bigger sibling is the first born and typically an over-achiever, they are the most important and get the most privileges. A younger sibling is the 'baby' of a family and gets away with more as well as being the most looked-after. Middle-child syndrome starts when the middle child is squeezed between these two and have trouble finding their 'niche' in the family.
Middle children will sometimes...
-misbehave to get attention
-go with the flow
-work as little as possible
-be less parent-dependent then their siblings
-become the 'loner' of the family, not participate in family events unless told to.
-play the peacemaker
-be more likely to go to a friend for advice than a parent
-be very creative
In short its where the older child gets all the awards, the younger gets all the love, and the middle gets nothing.
