Middle child: So Mom said she isn't going to take me to that campout after all... *sigh*
Oldest child: Oh, sorry.

Middle Child: It's alright, what do I expect? I am the Middle Child, after all.

Middle Child
A middle child is a sibling you doesn't get love, attention, or much of anything else. Their parents will congratulate the oldest and youngest siblings for small things-such as an A in a class or a 100 on a test but never seem to give praise to the middle child. The middle child is often left cleaning up after their sibling and it's usually expected of them. They will sometimes portray anger or violence to try and make their parents relize but always end up in trouble again.

mom-who left this mess?!
oldest sibling-me, sorry I forgot to clean it up.
mom-it's okay I'll have the middle child do it.

Middle Child
You are the mistake in the family. It’s because your disgusting mf ass dad thought it would be a great idea to skip the condom and then he decided not to fucking pull out because he is a deusch bag! And then your mom thought you looked cute and decided to have sex again and ASKED for another kid.

The middle child is the most annoying and can get away with any shit possible because no one recognizes them!
