We feel your ache if you are a middle child because they are mostly ignored, blamed, and made to feel less important within the family. It sucks being a middle child as they are mostly sandwiched between the eldest ( dominating one ) and the youngest ( most loved one ) and at most times they feel like pulling their hair out. They feel betrayed and useless but that is exactly why we need to lavishly celebrate a Middle Child’s Day as they deserve all the attention affection and sweet treatment. It’s that day when you need to break the middle child syndrome and go crazy as it’s your day!
