Do you believe in Middle Child Syndrome?Yes definitely! I had 2 brothers older than me and 2 sisters younger than me. I always felt left out and this continued into adult life. Always felt like I didn’t fit in anywhere. The worst part for me in childhood was washing in front of the fire on school nights. There would be one bowl of soapy water for us all to share. One night it would be oldest first, the next night youngest first. I never got to wash in clean water! The same with baths at the weekend. I had 3 daughters so always made sure to lavish extra attention on my middle daughter so she never felt the same as I did. I’m now closest to her. I’m 64 and she’s 42. I’m so proud of her. Even though she was painfully shy as a child, as was I, she’s grown up into a beautiful young lady inside and out, very popular with heaps of friends. I’d have hated her to be as lonely as I am at times but looks like she’s by far my greatest accomplishment in life!
