Middle Child Syndrome
Have been watching a Channel 5 programme called Middle Child Syndrome which talks about the insecurities and troubles that seem to present themselves when in the middle of a family. My family would appear to fit the classic pattern: eldest child highly acedemic and keen to please the parent, youngest child relatively easy going and into the performing arts, middle child a little at odds and fighting for attention.
How does this fit in with your experiences of family?

I think I often found that, but I was the younger of two (my brother being the academic one) and the dog always seemed to get more attention than me :S
Might not be to do with MDS but when La n me moved in together I found it uncomfortable that she was prepeared to listen to my views and ask about them because I was never really afforded that kind of opportunity in my upbringing.
Mum isn't a bad parent though, I think I came out alright.
eldest child, keen to please parent? is this the same eldest child who won't let me go to gigs?
