Why is it so hard to become a middle child?

First off I am a middle child too so I know how you feel. You want to have recognition right? Want them to notice you more often, well I can tell you it does get better. At the moment it may not feel like it but it honestly does. My older and younger sisters ganged up on me together and made me feel like Shit but you can prove them wrong to.JJust soldier on like the courageous person I'm sure you are. Take up a new sport or hobby that may interest your parents to take interest in with you. Or do something that would make them proud :) stick in there chicken xx

Totally agree with miss.thoughtfull! I am a nontraditional middle child, I have an older sibling and actually, a twin but all my life I was treated like a middle child, mostly ignored and passed over because my older and younger siblings were having issues constantly and for the most part I held myself together without my parents support/attention. It was so hard getting through it all and feeling like they didn't care about me but I made it through so much stronger because I am independent. Just focus on finding joy in your life and having pride in what you do and don't rely on others to feel proud of yourself!

I'm a middle child too and I totally understand. I have one older brother and one younger brother but the younger one is a step. My older brother and I go back and forth from our parents houses and my little brother just stays at my dad's. Since my older brother is at my dad's house more, my dad seems to like him more. My little brother is of course loved most because of his younger self. My dad and I never talked until one night I was just done and I didn't talk. Just get their attention and they'll think something is wrong and talk to your parents about it. They'll change. My dad and I used to fight all the time, then we had a long talk about getting help and talking to each other and acting happy. Now I actually have a relationship with my dad and step mom. And trust me, just telling your parents about it will help.
