Oh yeah. Being the middle child I got blamed for everything, never taken seriously, disciplined more often (usually my fault) and was generally more reckless.
We are definitely built different, as a middle child I was either always being blamed by my older sister or taking the blame for my younger sister, now that I'm much older nothing scares me
Fear is a word I do not understand. I had it bashed out of me has a middle child. "Imposable" is also a word I have trouble with. I deserved every spanking my dad gave me. He stopped when he saw I didn't care. Had to find other was to punish me. Had to get cerebral to do it.
I was the middle child - of 4, lol. Yup, one ahead of me, one behind me who was adopted followed by the baby of the bunch. The baby of our family wasn't "darling", though. He was a hellion, a holy terror our mother kept close not because he was her last or her favorite but because you never knew what the little shit was going to do next to injure himself. Almost drown in the backyard pool at 2 (we're talking clinically dead here), twice sliced his tongue from the bottom of his mouth running around with a metal piece of vacuum hose in his mouth, split his head open 7 times, one of those by racing downhill on a bigwheel and slamming face first into the open tailgate of Dad's truck, smashed his front teeth while playing basketball, got hit by a car while riding a moped. Probably a good thing he got all that out of his system before joining the Air Force and being shipped off to the Middle East - twice.
As a fellow middle child, I find we have good observational skills & we make good mediators... 😎😎😎 I also find my siblings don't challenge me to a fight 'coz we all know who the winner will be! 🤪🤪🤪
I was the child even my father feared fighting even though he was an army veteran. I was the only child raised on a cattle farm expected to take care of myself from a very early age
You can only take so many pokes before the inner hippie wild child comes out to play the game by OUR rules! We win simply by declaring the others to be losers that are afraid of the script we’ve written! Then we take our licks and prove our point!
I can definitely confirm this !!! My brother and I are Irish twins then the baby is like five yrs. younger. My brother is the most calm, sweet, kind-hearted person, everyone loves him but don't piss him off. 😂😂😂 I, the only girl and first born and my baby brother always thought him strange but turned out like you said, most successful and the smartest. He was nuts as a kid and is still crazy. First time I visited his new home, he took me on a tour of his mountain, you catch that - mountain. He was going to go down an almost 45 degree angle on an ATV !!! They can't even get up the driveway if it snows, parks at bottom of driveway. Yes, middle children are something alright.
Im #8 of 12 and the last real Gen Xer of my Family as I made the 70's but just BARELY. I also own my own mountain and am VERY successful because of my mountain, Depending on where your brother lives, have him prospect his mountain. He might be sitting on some real treasure. My mountain is chocked with Copper, some Silver, but mostly full of pure clear Quartz Crystals.
I'm kind of wondering why such a young one knows about Pennywise. . . . . . 😬 hahahaha, My son, now 31, was about 3 and did that but said "Agadude you there?" Agadude was how he said alligator. lol
As the middle child I approve this message. Although best thing about my own childhood is because I was so discounted I would convince my younger sibling to do many different things. I would get in trouble for not stopping them but the parents never did figure out who's idea it was to build a fire pit with cement blocks under a pine tree that we covered with a chess board when we heard them attempt to come into the woods.
double middle child, xennial and completely fearless for 40 years now.. better, smarter and more competent than anyone before or after.... We saw the flaws in everybody else and knew how to fix it and ourselves.. and nobody listens to us :P
Stupid people repeat mistakes. Smart people learn from their mistakes. Wise people learn from other people’s mistakes. Want a decent battle strategy for war or the in laws, a middle child will have you covered better than anyone.
Middle children learned the wisdom of The Fafo at an early age. Challenge the eldest child; Fafo. Assert a skosh too much dominance over the younger precious, Fafo. We became strong with the Fafo.
I didn't get blamed by older or take the blame for younger; I was invisible. Definitely not fearless; I'm afraid of many things. But unlike older who's afraid of looking stupid through failure and unlike younger who's afraid of losing love and attention through failure, I persevere through fear and that's why I have lived an examined life worth living.
My sister is the middle child my brother the oldest and me the youngest . She could do no wrong and my father always told us if you’re going to be stupid you have to be tough and he always said that me and my brother were the toughest boys he knew
Agreed 100%. It took 19 years, but my older brother is the middle and a certified badass whom I've always looked up to. Even at 71, he's lowkey still a wild card.
My uncle, a middle, was getting busted by the cops for speeding and participating in a protest, while also crashing weddings, well into his 70s. He was my godfather and an exemplar.
Gen X, middle child, overlooked and misunderstood as a child. As an adult…independent, mediator & peacekeeper, always reliable when called upon to step up. Middle kids are amazing!
DAMN.. the middle child got blamed for sh*t???? TF they did. Being the oldest, it was my arse, ALWAYS, for the 4 younger ones. If they did anything, my arse. They got into trouble, my arse. They wanted to shift blame, MY ARSE.... This does NOT compute in my brain/computer.
Im the middle child, and it was a good thing, i think. I learned what not to do from the oldest always having the spotlight. And the younger one was a way for me to get away with more to. Being the younger one was 11 years younger and just keeping an eye on her. Giving others a break gave me more brownie points. Other than that, I pretty much could do what I wanted. One getting straightened out for whatever reason equal free time and browie points gave me extra time to do what I wanted. But the issues end up being that the middle child after being grown. Is expected to fix everyone's problems. And after a few, no, i don't have it. All problems stop. 😂
Yup. Walked a city suburb in Dublin 5, as a middle child. Had a beach and a massive park. Plus a 4 lane road to cross first. Allowed to disappear at 9am and turn up when I was hungry at dinner time.
The scariest person out there is a gen x middle child who is used to doing their own thing and doesn’t care about consequences…. Oh and is going through menopause.
I’m the eldest and had to put up with my always sooky middle brother and help raise my “I can do anything I want” younger sister, they both got away with everything and I was always the fall guy 🤣.
I am the middle child in my family and I was born in the middle child generation. I don't fear anything! I had a 3rd of my skull removed last year for 4 months and people asked weren't you afraid? I was pissed off! That's the difference. This kid is a legend!
Haha why is this so true?!! I am the most successful and resilient one out of the 3 of us (obviously the middle one here) and the older one comes to me for life advice and acts intimidated by me (like straight kisses me ass lol) even though she used to be the one beating my ass 🤣 and my younger one never starts beef with me ever even though he will the oldest of us 3 haha funny how that works
I have 2 sisters older than me a brother and sister younger than me and I got in less trouble than they did but I was the 1 always getting grounded for something stupid my parents always seemed to single me out
Middle child who was originally the baby. I would only say we have fear, but feel the need to tweak its nose just because a life lived in fear is no life. Told my priest off during first conciliation (penance done face to face) because he “wasn’t a good Christian” (he wasn’t) and when told I had to confess to him, responded that I can talk to God direct and he will understand and forgive me. He had to give me my sacrament anyways because how would he explain that he got dressed down by a 6 year old with judgment and logic. Also went toe to toe with my 6’ father when I felt he was being a little too stern with my little brother at that age. Could run an accident scene like a first responder by 7, which came in handy when my little brother squashed himself with the heavy garage door. Never backed down even when it might’ve made sense to and consider my small stature as an asset because no one would believe the 5’2” female is capable of such violence😂.
Solidarity for all middle children! Older siblings believe us to be idiot Neanderthals who ruined their chances of being only children. Younger siblings believe they are more entitled because they are the babies (moms fuel their beliefs). I was always left to my own devices and had to figure things out myself. Often invisible within the family unit. I do much better being alone than either of my siblings. I embrace independence and the ability to learn.
Being the oldest child, I about made life better for my bratty, ungrateful middle child little sister. I found untold solutions to life's problems and simply handed her the answers so that she wouldn't have to go through what I did. Just saying
That's nothing. I chased orbs through the woods at a local abandoned area known for hauntings, cryptids, and murders. Not to mention it was a former government facility during the great war
So, riddle me this: Where do I fall? You see, I am the youngest of my mother's kids, eldest of my father's, the only child between the two, and the middle of 5.
I'm the oldest of 3 girls. You're absolutely right! The oldest has all the responsibility. The youngest gets all the attention. My middle sister got to do whatever she wanted, and it was always wrong. I don't envy the middle child.
Pennywise should run and hide from that little one
I think he did!😅
@@thedarcbird lol I would too
😂😂😂right
You’re not wrong
😂😂😂
Being a middle-child is best described as "running with scissors"
That's funny because my experience as an only child on a cattle farm was more like "running with a chainsaw"
Tripping don't count as running....
Oh yeah. Being the middle child I got blamed for everything, never taken seriously, disciplined more often (usually my fault) and was generally more reckless.
By your description, the middle child is the Gen X of their respective family.
Guess that makes me the most Gen X person possible being a Gen X middle child.
@@moralityisnotsubjective5 unfortunately it does not apply to me. I’m the youngest and definitely not pretty or anywhere near perfect.
We are definitely built different, as a middle child I was either always being blamed by my older sister or taking the blame for my younger sister, now that I'm much older nothing scares me
As one myself, I can confirm.
Fear is a word I do not understand. I had it bashed out of me has a middle child. "Imposable" is also a word I have trouble with. I deserved every spanking my dad gave me. He stopped when he saw I didn't care. Had to find other was to punish me. Had to get cerebral to do it.
As a middle child, myself.. my middle child is the favorite.
I make no qualms about it.
Mocking Pennywise, yep, I laughed in middle child. F that guy
I was the middle child - of 4, lol. Yup, one ahead of me, one behind me who was adopted followed by the baby of the bunch.

Oh the martyred middle child. 😱 My sister. You can always spot them in the crowd. 😄
Yes...we are....badasses! Oohrah middle children everywhere!
Oorah!

I'm middle child to two brothers and I'm deffinatly the same. Also have the best fuck it attitude

What's going on with the sound on this video? All I can hear is "Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!"
😅

My Aunt being a middle child always told me that we were special. That was over 60 years ago, but I still remember it.
That kids Pennywise,s nightmare , I,ll bet Pennywise has nightmares about that kid , you,ll float too .

Middle child here, I once heckled a prisoner when we toured the jail. I was 12.
🤣🤣🤣 Sounds about right
@rhondahulett9763 I said at the end, "you're in there and I'm walking outta here."
@@high62609 🙂
As a middle child of gen ☓. This is fact. We're the most well rounded and most successful people on the planet.
Middle child here. We know how to survive and thrive.
Pennywise will be annihilated if that middle kid sees him.
Middle children learned the wisdom of The Fafo at an early age. Challenge the eldest child; Fafo. Assert a skosh too much dominance over the younger precious, Fafo. We became strong with the Fafo.
Omg my sister that is the middle child, sound so much like her😂

Agreed. Middle children still have fear but move forward in spite of it.
Gen X of Late December of '79...Gods honest truth I am #8 of 12 and the only boy. Do I qualify as a middle child?
My sister is the middle child my brother the oldest and me the youngest . She could do no wrong and my father always told us if you’re going to be stupid you have to be tough and he always said that me and my brother were the toughest boys he knew
As the middle child myself I can honestly say Fact Checked true!
Agreed 100%. It took 19 years, but my older brother is the middle and a certified badass whom I've always looked up to. Even at 71, he's lowkey still a wild card.

Your cope amuses me. I will admit though that my younger brother was frequently the diplomat between myself and the youngest, so I’ll give you that.
Gen X, middle child, overlooked and misunderstood as a child. As an adult…independent, mediator & peacekeeper, always reliable when called upon to step up. Middle kids are amazing!
As a middle child and the only boy I can say with confidence that child will be fine.
😂
I was the middle child but it was a GenX thing.
Middle child spread out over three different marriages, three different mothers but one father.
So that's why I have way more FAFO in my veins than my siblings. The rest is scary accurate. 😂
My hubby is between 2 sisters. He has been saying the same thing. You are absolutely right.
I'm the baby. Somehow tend to be seen as the oldest or middle
Pennywise fears us. With good cause. We hate clowns 🤡
That's goddamn right. Middle children unite!
As a middle child I stand by my mantra. "I am Kevin White. That was my crime. It has also been my sentence."
This is startlingly accurate.
DAMN.. the middle child got blamed for sh*t???? TF they did. Being the oldest, it was my arse, ALWAYS, for the 4 younger ones. If they did anything, my arse. They got into trouble, my arse. They wanted to shift blame, MY ARSE.... This does NOT compute in my brain/computer.

Signed: A middle child.
I’m an elder child… My sister is the middle child…

Yeah but who would you want by your side riding into battle?

As a middle child, I a,so give zero f🤬ks….. 🤣😂🤣🤣
So basically the middle child is like being the Oopsie baby🤣
We middle children tend to be good negotiators.
As a middle child, I can attest to the truth of this video!
I swear I am a middle child stuck in an older child's body, because this is me. From Pennywise to everything that was said.
I was raised with 2 older brothers...a lot older than me...I had no fear because I was the baby...& Knew they had my back...
I'm the middle sibling too older brother , younger sister
Being an only child, I’m not sure if I missed out on family life or I should be thankful. 😂
The scariest person out there is a gen x middle child who is used to doing their own thing and doesn’t care about consequences…. Oh and is going through menopause.
Yep, my husband lives in fear of someone doing something stupid in my presence in public that might put me or our animals in danger.
My middle son 🤣
Bill Skarsgard and Tim Curry both hide when this kid comes a callin'.

I was a last born but GENX which makes me a oddity.
GenX middle child....can confirm 😈

I’m personally thankful I’m the middle of three kids.
BS. You also have to take into the fact the gender of the children. As the oldest and the only son I was the experiment.
I have 2 sisters older than me a brother and sister younger than me and I got in less trouble than they did but I was the 1 always getting grounded for something stupid my parents always seemed to single me out
I have 2 younger brothers and "tortured them" Me and my friends made sure our younger sibs were tough!

Yes I’ve seen a few on a few of those podcasts also
Is that a US Navy flag I see behind you?
As the youngest of 3, loved and cared for the very least, abused the most, you might as well be peeing your pants now old man. 😂😂
Try being a middle child, not a Xer, but not a millennial, from that wonderful time in the early eighties. (82)

Being a middle child helped develop me into a SIGMA early. My adult life has been cake in comparison to my siblings.
We middle kids RULE ! 😂😂
Middle child is equal to being Gen X. 🤣
What is Gen X middle then?
