“Why should I waste my time sharing my Middle Child tales of woe?” you
might ask. Well, for one, misery loves company. After all, nothing makes
you feel better than knowing someone else had it (or still has it)
worse than you. Knowing another Middle Child suffered more just might be
the antidote for Middle Child Syndrome you’ve been looking for!
Were you the only unbuckled sibling in a car making a three day journey
to Florida? I was.
Did your brother get top billing on YOUR birth announcement? Mine did.
Does sharing this with you make me feel any better about being a Middle
Child? Not really.
But it doesn’t make me feel any worse. And that’s a start! On the other hand, what if there are Middle Children who, dare I say,
had no Middle Child Problems? Not likely, but what if? Or what if out of
all the stories of being left alone, left behind or left out, yours is
the worst??
Still, there’s no point in suffering in silence. It'll probably be
another ego bruising, forgotten Middle Child’s Day anyway. Could this
possibly make it any more emotionally devastating?
Probably.
