Here We Go Again… Again!

          Honestly, I really don’t know how much more of this I can take... 

          It was almost two years ago when “Eldest Daughter Syndrome” (EDS) entered the birth order syndrome business. 

 

 

          At the time, I wrote/bemoaned about how this would likely steal away what little attention was given to our namesake syndrome. I also predicted this would open the floodgates for others to claim their own birth order syndrome. Then sure enough, in the blink of an eye, “Youngest Child Syndrome” (YCS) reared it’s I'm so precious little head. 

 

 

          And now, in typical Big Brother fashion, “Eldest Son Syndrome” (ESS) shows up late to the party and still expects everyone to make a big fuss because he finally arrived.

 

 

          So once again, we Middle Children find ourselves in an untenable position, trying to make our syndrome stand out from all the rest – a monumental task given our whole syndrome is based on not getting enough attention in the first place. The irony of this situation is absolutely maddening.

          Well, I have a message for all these syndrome seeking siblings: Back off! All your newfound syndromes are making it even harder for us to handle ours – the original birth order syndrome, mind you!!

          I hope they realize what they’ve done. They’ve actually now created a whole new syndrome for Middle Children to have – Middle Child Syndrome Syndrome. Ha, take that! We’ll see your syndrome and raise you one!

          EDS, YCS, ESS – I say it’s all BS! But not MCS. 

          That shit is real.
