Middle Child Memes Your Big Sister Will Never Get

Being the oldest child means you have the most responsibility, but also the most power. Being the youngest means you’re the permanent baby of the family. No one takes you seriously, but you can also get away with murder. Every middle child, however, has a super power: invisibility. 

Parents inevitably are the hardest on their firstborn and have a soft spot for their youngest. The kids in the middle? Well, they tend to become the family mediators, because they don’t have any other option. On the upside, they end up becoming easy-going, fair and trustworthy friends. Don’t hate on the middle children you know, because they’ve likely gotten the short end of the stick their entire childhood. These middle child memes give you a taste of what it’s really like being stuck in the middle.

We didn’t even know National Middle Child Day existed. It’s on August 12th every year, and we didn’t have a clue. Step it up, siblings, and mark your calendars for next year. 

This is basically like sharing your birthday with Christmas. If your due date is around August 12th, moms-to-be, can you just like…hold ’em in for an extra day? You know, just in case you decide to have three kids. Your middle kiddo deserves a special day to finally get some attention. 

The oldest looks so proud to have another minion to lead. The middle child knows that means he just got demoted to a second class minion. 

Obviously, parents love all their children. Giving them all equal amounts of attention is a different story. The oldest is the most capable and the youngest needs the most care. The middle one is just sort of…there.
