Answer 2

I am a middle child but was never the problem, but some people i know feel this is because they are quite often compared to their older siblings, they then feel that in order to prove themselves they need to gain attention and thatt may be by causing trouble for themselves and their families.

Answer 3

Oh wah.  Hear that?  I'm playing the world's smallest violin for you.  I'm the middle child, and I was never a "problem."  In fact, compared to my siblings, I was the good one.  If you're having issues, that's your fault - not your parents'.  Take responsibility for your own actions instead of trying to point the finger at others.

Answer 4

I'm the middle kid and I"m the quietest, best behaved, most responsible....

Answer 5

They are not always the problem! I think its an excuse people use so they don't have to be responsible for their own actions. Get over it.

Answer 6

There not!!! My sweet Olivia is kind,loving,smart and caring she is a wonderful child.

Answer 7

I'm a middle child, i never caused problems or lacked for attention. If you are looking for a reason you are a "problem" it has a lot more to do with your decisions than your birth order.

Answer 8

I guess because you feel like there is a lack in attention. I am a middle child, but also the only girl, so I always got the attention I wanted. Now I am a mother of 3 girls, and my middle one is overly jealous of her 2 sisters (not that they aren't all jealous of each other, just that she is the one who expresses it the most). She gets just as much attention from me as the others, but she gets different kind. She is not the oldest so therefore we have not sat down and had certain conversations, and there are certain things that her older sister gets to do that she can't do. She is not the youngest, so therefore I won't tend to her every need as you would a 2 year old.

Hope this kinda helps.
