middle child syndrome..

A post I just read led me to post this just to see ppls options on this subject. My husband and I have son he'll be three in November. We're due with baby 2 in dec. Im not ruling out a third at this point depending on if I have a successful vbac or not if it ends in csection again it'll take a lot more consideration. Anyways so how dov you ladies feel ab the middle child out of three children?

I was the middle child growing up and I loved it. I was in the middle of two boys and I always had someone to play with.  of course we had the typical sibling rivalry our whole entire childhood but we are the best of friends and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I'm the middle of three. All girls. No complex. Aside from wearing hand me downs as a kid I enjoyed being the middle. We all have our own identities and nobody feels left out on anything.  It doesn't hurt that I'm both my sister's favorite sister. Lol jk good luck on your vbac pkease share your experience after as lots of us are considering one.

See I think ppl overreact about this middle child syndrome crap lol. My mother in law is soo completely against it. She's 2 or 4 but three kids lol I dont want four just three haha. She has siblings who had three kids my dad is,a middle child and they all have to dine degree issues. I mean their ok but like ik you can tell they were not treated the same. I think it depends on the family. You must treat each child equally. And I think and know that some of them were not. I would love and treat each of babies the same with all my heart.

I'm the middle of 3. Older sister, younger brother. I feel like I was the lucky one. I'm a lot closer to my brother, one of my best friends. I don't think you have anything to worry about if you have 3. :)
