*Disclaimer: In fairness to my parents, this is all is in good fun. I don't actually feel that neglected*

1. You get hand me downs from your older siblings, but of course you wear them out so the baby gets new clothes

Of course the favorite child gets brand new everything, but you get stuck wearing a shirt with the graphic of whatever you

r sibling thought was cool when they wore it.

2. Your events get skipped for your sibling's events

"Sorry we could't make it, your brother was doing something" (This is the one I'm most bitter about)

3. You're never the first one to do something, but you're also never the last one to do something so it's never as important

Your older sibling's graduation: "Awww, you're our first child to graduate high school!"

Your youngest sibling's graduation "Aww, our baby is graduating!"

Your graduation: "You graduated."

4. Any time you get upset about something it's always attributed to you being the middle child.

Contrary to popular belief, I have feelings outside of where I fall in my family.

5. If you want to do something, it's a no. If your older/younger sibling wants to do it it is an automatic yes.

Me: "Mom can we go to the science center?" "No"

My older brother: "Mom can we go to the science center?" "Of course honey"

6. Your older sibling had to do significantly less for you than you have to do for your younger sibling.

I'm pretty sure I got told to ride my bike/walk home more than my little brother did.

7. You change your name in your mom's phone to "Favorite Child" even though you know it's really one of your siblings

Although she hasn't changed it back so that's something

8. When you tell people you're the middle child they automatically assume that your parents love you less

....at least I don't think they do.

9. You've considered doing dramatic things for attention

Not too dramatic though. Just something small like a haircut or a weird piercing

10. Even when you dramatically change things (get a tattoo, dye your hair, pierce your nose), your family still doesn't notice

I sent my mom multiple selfies following my nose piercing. She didn't even notice it until I pointed it out in person.
