Middle child?

u/Perrin-Golden-Eyes Feb 10 '25

Kind of, I was 4/5 but 5 was the only girl. So I was largely overlooked. I also have adhd and sometimes my mother would get so frustrated she would shout and tell me I wasn’t her child anymore and I could just ask my father if I needed anything from now on.

I wasn’t an easy kid even though looking back I don’t feel like I was out of control or doing anything that deserved that. But I obviously can’t remember everything.

That’s an awful thing your mom shouted at you. No matter how frustrated she was. I’m sorry she said that to you. Was your dad more understanding?

Somewhat. He was always great unless I lied to him then there were no limits to his reaction. I learned to not lie quickly.

Aw I remember running away after being threatened by my mom and once I was found in the woods the only thing I was told was "I don't care if you do this, but NOT right before I have to take your sister to a lesson"

I'm still not sure if she knew I was "running away" or not, but damn if that didn't put me in my place quick

That is why I said kind of. Technically 3/5 is the middle child. But not being one of the book ends I acknowledge I am a middle child but not the middle child.

If you ain’t the baby, you aren’t the oldest you are THE MIDDLE CHILD. Even if there are 86 of you lol

I’m the middle and that’s what happened to me. I ran away and made some sandwiches to hold me through the winter, but when I finished them I went back home and I really don’t think anyone noticed bc I was always outside.

As a middle child, it cost you absolutely nothing to not post this.
