:@ help: I HATE being the middle child! - Help.com

Sucks to be you then.

No. Being the youngest is the worst. You are forever dubbed as the useless one. Can’t do anything for yourself, everyone is older than your therefore gets first dibbs on everything. And You always get stuck in the middle seat. And people always say “Oh you dont know what your talking about” cause your the littlest. And they knew you when you were useless and in diapers.

There’s a glimpse at that other role you dont have to be in.

Tell me about it. I’m middle too.(high five. Sorry couldn’t resist)

Unfortunately, not much we can do about it -sigh-
But then again, my sister hates being youngest, cus she is always treated like a baby. Don’t know if your younger sibling/s share/s that viewpoint.
And my older brother can’t handle the responsibility of age.
Middle is good in a way because you get to give advice to your kid bro/sis, and get advice from your older bro/sis.

yea it’s tough. I am too. I’m at school now and i think I’m more mature then my older sister. But you can’t get discouraged. If you don’t like home… go out. get coffee go hang out with friends. Suburbia sucks but it is what you make it.

i know but you know what i mean

Lol it is kinda good cuz they both love me and hate each other. But still sucks on the parent part.

Lucky you! I didn’t get any advice. What I did was learn from their mistakes so that I didn’t have to make them, and also didn’t get the consequences.

ya that may be true but there are also really bad things about being both yhoungest & oldest. oldest r depended on 2 do EVERYTHING and be responsible. the youngest is treated like a baby and is always said to, “you have NO idea what your talking about.” just be thankful. u can’t change the fact that yer middle child, so don’t panic or complain…!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s my life as the older child: http://help.com/post/275448-my-brothe…
our family was split in two groups of kids. In birth order I shared middle.
I was oldest girl and most responsible for everybody else. It was/is no picnic.

there is a very funny song about this on sesame street
but i couldn’t find it to link… anyone?

god i hate being the middle child…blamed for everything that ur younger sibling does and since my older brother is the stupidest person on earth…my parents basically have my life planned out for me..and when they die they are giving everything to my brother..and when i have friends over and my younger sister comes into my room and i tell her to get out..my parents say just leave her alone..fyi she is a year older than me so she shouldn’t be treat like she 7 meaning don’t let her do wutever she wants..and everything i get she gets..and everything i get my brother sells..also brother dates basically all ur friends…and sister wants to hang out with u and ur friends…i feel like younger siblings are stalkers and not the good kind
