Birth Order

Birth order and this so called syndrome known as "middle child syndrome" sounds pretty appealing to me. Being born as a middle child like exactly the middle child, I found articles like that pretty relate-able and accurate. As a middle child (personally) I've never felt so much of love from my parents. I said not so much but not entirely none at all. Of course there are times I was jealous of both my sisters. For example . . . 

I only get rewarded only when I work hard for it . Getting good results etc. ( Okay, fair enough. Parenting done right! ) My sisters need not work hard for it more like when they demand for it they get it. I don't particularly  hate my sisters for that but as a CHILD you can't help but harbour a tiny bit of jealousy towards your siblings. I don't pity myself for that, never. That just kept me working harder and maybe this is what set me and my siblings apart. Nonetheless I was grateful that I'm more independent and reliable because of it. Though I don't really get appreciated personally by my own family members that much, I don't really mind. I felt the sense of responsibility after all to carry out my duties as an elder sister and a younger sister. Being born middle makes me get along with people well and I'm always the middle person within argument between my sisters. I have really great friends and they appreciate me for who I am. As a person, I felt like I grew a lot and part of it was because the way I was treated and raised made me who I am today. I'm blessed being born as a middle child!
