I hate being the middle child!?

Question

i hate it. No one seems to care about me anymore. My mom is stressed out more because of my 3 year old sister ( who is a complete brat) and my 18 year old sister who is a musician. My dad is almost always away o buisiness. I get all A's and no one cares. My older sister gets a cellphone if she does something good. My parents constantly do things that make me angry, so i get into fights with them. They say that i am horrible and that i used to be the favorite child but now they dont like me. It hurts very much. They just dont care. I dont try to yell at them, i am usually a very quiet and nice 15 year old. Its just that i want them to care about me again, and to pay attention to me. But do they? no. They also blame me for the family dog pooping in the house even though its all of our responsibility. And i love the dog because she is the only one i can connect to in the house. I want them to stop yelling at me and accept me for who i am, to just do their job and nuture me. What can i do? i am tired of being sad and lonely. And none of my friends are the middle child in their family so they dont really understand.

Answer 1

I would ignore you too, if you "connected to" a dog.

Answer 2

You should show your parents what you wrote...it almost made me cry, and I don't even know you...I, too, am a middle child (but I'm an adult now)...When I was younger, I felt the same as you...my older sister and my younger brother always excluded me...My mom blamed me for everything...and I mean everything...there was a time when money was missing out of her wallet, and the only person she blamed was me (she never confronted my other 2 siblings)...she told me "I know you took the money"...I kept telling her that I didn't, and even my older sister blamed me...Well, my mom finally decided to mark the dollar bills with ink, and eventually she found out that it was my younger brother that was stealing from her...once she found out, all she said to me was "oops, sorry for blaming you"...but she was lacking sincerity when she said it....and, although, I am a grown adult now, she still pokes fun of me as if I'm still a child...It is true that middle children feel non-existent which can cause severe depression and low self-esteem, something I have spent years trying to overcome...Believe me, the older you get, the better you'll feel about yourself...remember that you are worthwhile and just as good of a human being as anyone else...but, I really think you should let your parents read your question...it looks like they need to reconfigure their parenting tactics....and maybe they need to tell your older sister to "shut her mouth" for once.

Answer 5

Your lucky !

I've only got one sibling, an older brother. I would have loved to have had a younger one too.

My brother's moving out soon because his girlfriend's pregnant, so i'm basically going to be an only child - and i'm not looking forward to it.

Rather then criticizing your sisters, try and get on with them.
