Middle child is accurate coming from me
Ima middle child and literally have ocd. The most noticeable symptoms of my case are needing to be perfect and in control.
I'm a middle child and I feel that on personal levels
As a youngest child not all the youngest child doesn't have problems to be honest a lot of people are making the youngest child as the favorite child and it sucks, they always think we're such a spoiled brat with no problems, and always have best gifts/toys or other things, even if the youngest,middle,oldest we all have problems, we all also feel depression, anxiety,trauma, And tbh they call us youngest child scardy cats since we are scared of alot of things ofc. we are scared of some things mostly because/sometimes of trauma or were just scared of it.
In my opinion, we shouldn't be judged if we are the youngest, middle, or oldest sibling of the family. I have see a lot of “oldest child have the most strict rule and have bigger problem” , “middle child are always ignored and depressed, “ "youngest child have the most happy life and getting all the attention “ As a youngest child, I disagree. The oldest child in my family doesn’t even get bothered or get strict rule. middle child may be clumsy but still get attention and freedom. And here comes me, the Youngest child. Embarrassment of the family and a failure.
Ngl I'm sick of people portraying the youngest sibling as a spoiled brat who isn't capable of doing anything on their own. I have two older sisters and they're good at everything, they're succesful, smart and overall kind people with lots of friends meanwhile I'm not smart or social, I'm anxious all the time and the pressure of being like them is constantly there no matter what I'm doing. I never ask my parents to buy me anything and I never cause trouble. I try my best so when everyone tells me that the youngest sibling is always annoying and spoiled it's really disheartening. Edit: Apparently this resonated with a bunch of people, very cool :D (Also happy pride month guys💛)
I’m a middle child :) I honestly don’t mind it 🤷♀️ my sister gets it tougher than I do- plus I get some rlly cute hammy downs from her :) My brothers probably gets it the easiest since my parents have had more experience with me and my sis so they know what to do and what not to do with him.
In my family I have all of the responsibilities. My parents are going through divorce and I'm expected to be there shoulder to cry on, get straight A's and be friends with everyone. If I'm not than I get yelled at, they blame there divorce on me, they say I'm ABUSIVE, and take away my phone. My phone is the only way comunicate with people because im not allowed to hang with my friends. If I even ask they say that im hurting them by having friends and then will continue to make back handed comments about me. I'M 13 AND THEY THINK THIS IS OK AND THAT THIS IS JUST PARENTING.
This describes my three fighting dreams in a nutshell Vet: must be a high achiever Actress: Won't come for free, driven by success Animator: HEY, WHEN WAS THIS ON THE LIST Author: Publication comes with tons of problems My classmates: think I'm a control freak driven by the need for success
im the older and I can relate. I have to get high grades every time and be in shape bc that's expected of me. there's so much pressure on me my whole life I have been like a mother to my younger siblings and then my parents still don't appreciate it and expect more. there was this one time when there was an exam and I studied so hard for like days. and I got a B+ .. i have never felt more hurt the whole day my parents were talking about how they were disappointed and wanted me to work harder. so when my younger siblings tell me they are proud of me or they adore me it literally makes me so happy 😭❤️ and lets face it each siblings have their own advantages and problems. its not like youngest spoilt oldest perfect middle a mess . all of them have it harder and we should appreciate each one
And parents say they are there for you then say its impossible to have anxiety, depression etc. 😔
Here’s mines. I am the eldest. I get pressured by my grades, (mostly by myself) because I hate to disappoint my parents or see them unsatisfied. My school uses numbers (1-10) and i wasn’t really proud of my grades, even tho I’ve never really got a lower grade than six (Gymnastics, I ain’t that fit). I’ve been from fourth grade a + (higher student) yet it was hard to understand everything in the + books, tho I love to discuss with the other + students what the answers could be. Sometimes it’s pretty hard, it’s like my parents don’t treat me equally with my sister and brother, it’s mostly “get good grades, or you will become poor like that man out there, working is hard, get a job for intelligent people without exhausting you” or “Let your sister have the have it she’s younger, I’ve already give you our love for (…) years, now I give them.” Or when I asked something first, my sibling says, “but I wanted that!!!!” And starts crying, and then I MUST give them a bigger half, like WHY CANT J GET TREATED EQUALLY?! Middle child, my sister. A huge crybaby, even my parents say she cries more than me and my brother. She loves sports but is always jealous of me, even when I just bought some pens. She always wants to use my stuff even tho she has more of that. She is very athletic, and pretty tall for her age, and my parents are short asf (like me) Youngest, my brotha. A very quick learner whom loves hero stuff (he’s young) and always messes with me and my sister, tho he has a very very very very very soft side. Whenever I try to hug him he pushes me away, but when I walk away he starts pulling my clothes. He’s helpful and knows exactly what to say even tho he doesn’t always understand. He is a picky eater.
And the only child feels like every single one of these👁👄👁
In the end, we all know the oldest child is always the one who the parents deep down love the most. -A wise person
middle: “and it’s my problem if i have no friends and feel i want to die” aka me 😭😃
Being the youngest isn't all spoilt brat and gets away for everything when anything is done everyone blames me because I'm younger it's super unfair and everyone thinks I should learn from my sister's mistakes but it is really not that easy so next time you see your younger sibling just know what they actually go through I mean I'm always expected to be amazing!
this is the opposite in my house 😢music im the youngest and i overheard my mom saying that i don't try hard enough and stuff like that❤
As the oldest child In expected to do everything right to be a “role model” for my siblings and I always have to give to them.
I think they need to say that the youngest can do things by themselves too. I am the youngest, and I still struggle a lot. People need to stop saying the youngest can't do anything on their own .
