Middle Child Syndrome

I am number 3 of 4 siblings. The birth order is as follows: My older sister, my older brother, myself, and my younger brother. By the time I came around my parents didn't have the time or energy to really deal with me. They had their own issues to deal with. Whatever.

I came across an article today on 'middle child syndrome'. The article stated on how we middle children were basically ignored all of our lives and are now miserable, mopey loners as adults who suffer intimacy issues stemming from the lack of attention received as children.

Wow.... I don't think I'd describe myself as miserable and mopey. I know my blog is rather bitchy.... however, for the most part I present a very pleasant face to the world.

There is but one cure for middle child syndrome -- only have two kids.
