Hi,Wendy,I am third child and was over looked forgotten and most of the time I was the cook and maid.I have a older sister and deceased brother and a younger sister,but I was the red headed step-child, I am 44 years old and happily married. with 2 children my daughter is 19 and my son is 13, but I do not have a good relationship with my parents because I wanted to live my life the way I wanted, I am a cancer survivor and so is my mother,my grandmother died of bone cancer and I thought this experience would bring us together but it tore us apart, m mom had her left breast cut off and I had chemo and radiation and we bet it.Thank God! I just want a relationship with her. Please tell me how to get through to her. Before I got married I could call her (my mom), every day (3 or 4 a day ). Please write me back with some advise on how I can have my mom back in my life. Or you call (706-548-2649). Thank you in advance for whatever you to do in contacting me about this matter. Thank you sincerely yours Gwendolyn.

Iam a middle child and i felt as if i was growing up alone.yes i had friends outside the home but inside the home i stayed to myself. Got pregnant as a teen and again in my tweenties.my advice you is to have plenty of friends and stay active in school and in church. Talk to your parents tell them how you feel.iam more closer to my brother than iam to my little sister

Hi Mrs.Wendy,
My situation is kind of different,I’m the youngest…BUT I feel like
my mom isn’t really fit to be a mother…don’t get me wrong i love my mom
but it hurts so bad because i feel like she pays more attention to her partner
than she does me & my sister.I’ve tryed talking to her & she swears up & down
that that isn’t true.I dont know how my sister feels but i’m only 14 an shes 16 so she handle things really differently..even though i can tell shes hurt to.My sister lives with her dad so she has a male figure to talk to…But as for me Mrs.Williams
I don’t no my dad so i don’t really have a male figure in my life,so when i feel like
this i can’t say hey dad i feel this this & this so it’s really hard
WHAT SHOULD I DO??? TO. MRS.WILLIAMS
LOVE TERRAIN!!!

Hello Wendy
I too struggle with being the middle child. When I was younger and still today it seemed my mom who was a single parent either focused more on my older siblings simply because they were here first or she focused on my younger sister because she was a baby and needed more attention. I always felt left out like she did more for them and never considered my needs and ultimatly I became rebellious for attention. Today I can say that it was a learning experience and I deal with it better because it helped me to be independent. and just from my family and watching others it seems that what being a middle child does is teach you how to be independent and fend for your self because your not getting what you need from your parents or siblings.

I agree! I am the middle child. The only girl with two brothers. Even though in a sense i felt like i always had someone to keep me company i still felt like i was over looked alot by my parents. Maybe not so much over looked. Maybe it was more like i had to work harder to please them than my older or younger brother did. Now that i’ve grown up it doesn’t bother me much now. I’m Over It!!!

I deal with middle child syndrome by talking about my older sister and younger brother when people come around me.
