Middle child dilemma

hi there, well true, i am a middle child and i do feel the same way as you are but i also know of some middle childs who are treated better compared to that of what you say. i guess its the stereotyping that gets into our heads and makes us think this ways.. sometimes i dont think of it that way and im happy. you should too

I'm the middle child AND the only girl. There were definately times I felt like I was being treated differently from my brothers, but I didn't know if it was because I was an only child, the only girl, or both. For example, my older brother had a much later curfew than I did. When I complained of it not being as late as his, I was told it was because I was a girl. But, my little brother had the same curfew a couple years later. So maybe my parents just learned from my big brother's behavior? I dont' know. I don't really think parents knowingly treat their kids differently though. And when they do, they probably think it's in their child's best interest. Just try not to get too caught up in feeling like you're left out, and focus on just being happy!
