Praise Love hahahahaha yep lol I’m middle kid and I’m the only one of my brother and sisters who have a degree, I’m very intelligent etc but I am into fantasy stuff etc but damn lol 😂
As a first born and big sister of 4 siblings I say that what I see in this video is true Because the first one gets nothing by nothing I mean like objects we let you choose first and we get the last thing because we don't care anymore the last one... I don't have to explain them it's because they are the last one but the middle one is correct they are more social then the first and last one which is good because they have more friends. if you say "but the middle one must respect the first one and is responsible for what the last one does" is also true but not in this way. They tell you to respect the first one because they are also responsible for what YOU AND the last child do. And you are responsible for the last one just because to learn respect, to learn what the first one is going through *THAT'S THE TRUTH HERE*
I'm the middle child who has an older brother who is irresponsible but was given the benefit of the doubt and he kept making mistakes. Instead of fixing their mistakes on my older brother they took it out on me and over fix things on me. Then they babied my Youngest sibling because she is the baby and saw only great potential.
I'm a middle child, and I'm not like that, I always get to be blame at everything, even if you're not involve in a fight between the first and last born child.
Me too, except my older sibling is 13 years older than me so I sort of have both middle and first born qualities. But strangely, none match. I'm still blamed for everything though when it's my younger siblings fault. Guess I'm doomed for unhappiness.
Well im oldest between me and my brother. So i get blamed A LOT, but i have some debate skill and i also have courage to confront justice to my parents, strangely my mom proud of my debating skill lmao
Last born, I think it's a load of rubbish, correlation does not mean causation unless proven. And my family is very different, the middle child is actually super religious.
Lloyd Nix Then are you saying to us that your exception defines the majority pattern that occurs? Then, will you tell me, because Stephen Hawking exists, that most people can't walk and have 150 IQ, and that the statistics that say most people can walk, speak, and have 100 IQ are rubbish? I assume, if you even do respond, it'll unfortunately be real rubbish. Please prove me wrong. exagto knotmiiu an neck
Actually first born who have more than 2 or 3 siblings are people who are serious when it come to things.They are caring and basically they shoo off other younger ones if they do things wrong in wrong way.They are more matured or become matured compared to their peers due to the responsibilities and there experiences.They are more patient too.
Im middle child, half the time people dont give a FUCK about me so I tend to daydream and think of unrealistic things or ideas of what to draw or do. Anyone else second child? also is it just me or the middle kid is always the most forgotten
Nyla Draws I'm a middle child too. I actually know some good sides! We are more down to earth, not in constant need of attention, more creative, not bossy, etc! I don't understand why nobody likes us....
First born: Oh its ok, it was a one time thing. Middle born: We'll see you as this negative thing, and that negative thing cause you did it once. Last born: Same as first born
Ok, i have not watched the video yet so don't flame me if I'm completely off. I am a first-born and honestly I really like taking charge, and i think that's because first-borns are more independent and a take charge person because when another sibling is born, the parents give more attention to the baby than you. Also, there's a likely chance that the older sibling had to take care of the younger sibling at some point, giving the older sibling a sense of domination. Last-borns, i think, are more used to following directions and going with the flow, since their older sibling has probably told them what to do many times. i think middle children can see the world more clearly and honestly than others because they have both a sense of dominance and listening. I think middle children are the best kind of people when they grow up because they're very down to earth. pls dont flame i haven't watched the video yet this was just on my mind when i saw this topic
I agree with you, for me i was in some part of my life the youngest in the family, then for 2-3 years i was the middle child, and after that the oldest which i felt around my 15-16 year of life, so somehow i went thru all stages and i think i'm carrying some of the traits from all of them.
I'm middle child and the description of the middle child was the complete opposite of me... (except for the fantasizing part). Hmm let's see, for the youngest child huh? Seems like they get the most attention in the family, while I'm just left in the corner even if I beat them with grades... Are middle children always left alone?
Mystique Melody it’s not always like that I’m the last born and my parents constantly tell me that I need to be like my amazing brother they tell me to be as smart as him (even tho I get higher grades) and as social as him and all those other stuff
Psych2Go Always getting new clothes and not wearing hand-me-downs. You get your own room. You don't have to share your stuff. You get ALL of your parents' attention. I was also the only Grandchild on my Mom's side for 9 years, and that was the sweetest ride of all!!!!!!! 😃😃😃
"First-borns get higher test scores because they're more intelligent or more motivated." (paraphrasing) Or... maybe it's just that we have higher expectations on us to be perfect than those placed on our younger siblings? Failure was not an option for me, and yes, a "B" counted as a failure. My three younger brothers? So long as they passed, they were fine.
Me being the first child:Being yelled at always getting scolded have higher grades always being pressured and compared My younger sister:do whatever she wants without being yelled, scolded etc...
huh! i'm the third child in a family with 4 kids. some people consider this the middle child and in certain ways i am, while my mom says i'm the 2nd first born, and in more ways i am. interesting.
As a middle-child, I don’t agree about this. I personally think that most middle-born children are really affected by that kind of order in the family. Sometimes, they are the most rejected child, whatever they do. Parents tend to care for the first and last one principally, such that the middle one feels left out of the family.
I'm a first born child and i agree with this. It's so true. I'm open-minded and less sociable. I also feel like i understand/learn more faster compare to my other siblings.
Me being the last born and watching the firstborn being praised so much:😒 Me not even listening to the middle born child: XD the middle child lol. Me learning about the last born: UWU yes yes... WHY DID YOU STOP THERE! THE FIRSTBORN CLEARLY GOT MORE PRAISE! Me continuing to the only child: 😤 *throws the whole video away*
Oldest child here. We're not better leaders, more responsible, or have a better sense of right/wrong because of the birth order itself, we aren't natural leaders. We got like that from having younger siblings and needing to help and take care of them. I have a big sister mode, not a natural leader mode. It's a result of our environment! :)
I’m a middle child, and I TOTALLY have problems with self control. I definitely tend to do things on impulse and fantasize a lot. While I definitely don’t exactly like these things in me, fantasizing helps me come up with pretty good book storylines.
im the youngest and ive been seeing comments saying "OH YOUNGER CHILDREN GET SPOILED" yada yada yada, at least for me. That. Is. Not. True. At. All. Also what you said in the video about youngest, for me, complete opposite. I am super introverted. But i am obedient. My mother does not allow spoilness and kids who dont listen in my house. She will literally take a 4 year old, out of the house if it did not listen or just did what it wanted to do with multiple warnings not to. I have became a good human being because of my mom. Besides my insomnia (not her fault) low self a steam, self-consciousness, aaaand my life being a mess
my eldest sister's name means Important in Arabic and basically my parents are apparently psychic because she turned out to be a bit bratty at times (when her name gets to her) but responsible, pretty smart and ended up to be a dentist :)
I don’t understand how I am the first born yet I have more of the middle child traits and my sister is the middle child but has more of the first born traits :-/ People tend to enjoy me and all my teachers have liked me but I just say “wait until you have my sister” because I know that the teachers will love her way more and I have never been wrong once. It’s weird seeing how we’re supposed to be portrayed like in movies or stories but I have never truly felt like I am the oldest child
The nuances of the traits indicates a pattern.. the awe of creating and nuturing a life for the first time seems to come with a lot of grandiose projections (leadership, mastery of communication, achievement) that never seems to go away. The middle children don't get put on that same subconscious pedestal, so their expressions of will are seen as rebellious or foolish/impulsive. That conflict is never really resolved, so it seems that parents permanently infantilize the last-born--their positive traits are still passive characteristics such as obedience, warmth etc as almost a sort of middle ground leading to the indulgence of grandchildren. In my observation, the studies seem mostly true but I suspect they were not longitudinal because most first-borns I have seen peak earlier and lower than any of the children to follow, but never really lose their golden status. I'm an only child myself so I can only speak about cousins and friends, but the patterns really are strikingly consistent.
I'm the youngest but fit the middle child the most, maybe because I sometimes have to take care of my older sister (she has special needs) and sometimes I act link the youngest.
This actually pretty accurate for my family. My sister, who is the oldest, would definitely be considered the leader. My two brothers, who are the middle children, have always been super impulsive. And me, the youngest, has always been the most well behaved.
Being a first born, I was totally opposite, I wasn’t a leader, I’m not intelligent, I’m a lonely person with no friends and as a kid I was the one that got in trouble because my sister was a little bitch and blamed me for everything. None of these traits fit me. I say it’s all fake.
Im the middle child, yet I am the over-achiever with many awards and excellent awareness. The only thing I actually share with being a generlised middle child is that I am very non religious and am extreamly creative. Though tbh its hard to say if Im more creative or more logical. As the middle, I am much more responsible than my first. However many have said that all of the above has given me a slight but clear narcissistic side as well as being prideful and egotistical.
Basically, the only thing they said about holder siblings was that they are more intelligent than their younger siblings... Isn't it pretty obvious that if you're older you are a little more intelligent then the ones who are younger than you. Why couldn't they have been more accurate?
I my brother's friend's younger sibling (currently the middle child) is much smarter and respectful than his brother... I think middle children deserve more love compared to the eldest-
Those Chinese researchers probably had to praise the one-child policy. Saying that the only child experiences anxiety or isolation more could have lost them their jobs or funding. This is my conjecture but it’s a political reality to keep in mind.
As a first born I barely relate with this. I can have good grades but I don't really care about that, I don't want to be a leader despite some people "respect" me and my father always tell me I'm a terrible role model to my brothers (actually I'm very distant of them since they're product of another marriage)
I’m a middle child & I must say I do agree with everything for middle children except the fact that we have less accomplishments & how I’m not at all open (also I can be impulsive but other times not, it depends). I’m the smart one out of my siblings (including the fact I have more accomplishments), I tend to be the most blunt (even though all my siblings are blunt, I’m just a little bit more in my opinion 😂)
Sadly a very high percentage of youngest siblings I've known are very self destructive and want others to care for them. The only exception is when the oldest sibling has those traits.. Anyone else seeing that or is there something in the water out here..?
funny how my oldest sister got everything opposite. She gets spoiled instead of the younger, idk y. I`m the middle, i get harsher treatment than my oldest.
I'm the first born child and I'm a failure as a leader. I actually feel more like the description of the míddle born children. My younger siblings get along so well with eachother and with our parents, while I'm just an akward potato who doesn't get along with anybody and is wasting space and time there.
Psych2Go Being an only child has its pros and cons. Pros include me getting all my parents affection and attention + resources. And cons include loneliness (which I experience often).
Only children get worshipped by those who have siblings. And no, we are not lonely, as we learn to be without other people for a longer period of time.
I'm always being compared to my older sister. My mother always says things like "Your sister ALWAYS got A's, while you only gets C's." or "Your sister draws better than you" (My profile picture is one of her drawings she made for me) I could be happier if my mother didn't do this to me ALL THE TIME. I don't blame my sister, i love her by the way, and I understand that it's my mother's fault, since my sister didn't choose to be the first. Sorry if I misspelled something, english is not my first language.
I'm sorry your mother acts like that :( I just want to let you know that even if other will compare you to your sister, you are your own person, not her. Do what you want to make yourself happy and no one else!
Your mom sounds like a bit of a jerk. I don't seem to see my parents doing that with my younger brother, but if they did I'd be sure to say something about it.
Kami Lee She doesn't sound like a bit of a jerk, she IS a jerk. My sister always defends me, but my mom always argues and when my side is wining she says "Ugh, Stop whining, I'm tired."
Feels as well bad to say this,but the last one doesn't match my little brother either.He's not much of an altruistic person.He's very chaotic and seems cold...
Me: huh I wonder what this video says about middle children? I bet it'll match me perfectly! Video: * absolutely roasts middle children* Me: MIDDLE CHILDREN DON'T GET JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD!
I'm last born and I use fancy words( I say this everyday at my job) we have to organize the books sequentially so it will be easier for the consumer to find it.
I'm a first born child and I don't think it is true either I am terrible at math and science, I am always nervous, and when I was younger I took speech classes because I couldn't speak very well. The middle child is true to the 3rd older child in my family. The 2nd older sibling is always compared to me because he doesn't try at all. The youngest sibling doesn't listen to anyone in my family, is super rude and mean doesn't exactly try and gets mad easily.
I thought longer about this and my thesis is that many of these things are because of how your parents treated you. Many who were last born, probably weren't treated like one, but often you can find similar tendencies in families and this is on what this is based on.
Any other first borns out there ?

Felix Williams I know right
Thanks alot
So researchers hate middle children by leaving them out of most of the research. I see a trend. 😂
Right. When I saw that I was thinking sarcastically I am glad that my family forgetting about me goes all the way back to this research
As a first born and big sister of 4 siblings I say that what I see in this video is true
Because the first one gets nothing by nothing I mean like objects we let you choose first and we get the last thing because we don't care anymore the last one... I don't have to explain them it's because they are the last one but the middle one is correct they are more social then the first and last one which is good because they have more friends.
if you say "but the middle one must respect the first one and is responsible for what the last one does" is also true but not in this way.
They tell you to respect the first one because they are also responsible for what YOU AND the last child do. And you are responsible for the last one just because to learn respect, to learn what the first one is going through

I often get punished for no reason and i get punished the most cause my siblings complain about me almost everyday
Something you forgot about middle children: Always gets In trouble for things that aren't their faults

Hayle Harris, it was a generalization. That does not mean they will be 100% accurate all the time. But it means *most* families are like this

*Only has one sibling
... *contemplates* *life*
All this video did was confirm that every parent has a favorite for me. Like why have multiples kids if you’re not gonna love them equally?
The fact that they "started" including middle children is such a middle child problem. Also, the "only child" bit is completely false.
How about twins?
Triplets?
my eldest sister's name means Important in Arabic and basically my parents are apparently psychic because she turned out to be a bit bratty at times (when her name gets to her) but responsible, pretty smart and ended up to be a dentist :)

I’m the middle kid and smarter than my brothers, and I’m sick of the disrespect middle kids get.
My little sister (second youngest but used to be youngest) harasses me everyday. She is not tender minded AT ALL
I’m a last kid, and umm I’m the one being bullied and beaten up, I’m always sad about it. They don’t like me or care.
So basically a middle child won't have a great future?
Yeah that sounds like me
I don’t understand how I am the first born yet I have more of the middle child traits and my sister is the middle child but has more of the first born traits :-/
People tend to enjoy me and all my teachers have liked me but I just say “wait until you have my sister” because I know that the teachers will love her way more and I have never been wrong once.

Though tbh its hard to say if Im more creative or more logical. As the middle, I am much more responsible than my first. However many have said that all of the above has given me a slight but clear narcissistic side as well as being prideful and egotistical.
I'm a middle child but I relate more the last born child one that my younger brother would
What about the twins? (And don’t start with “first-born is older than the other”, a few seconds, or even minutes doesn’t count)
I'm a last born child. I have both the mentality of a last and a middle born child.
3:10 Yes! FINALLY!
Damn you really nailed me right on the head about being the last child, but my older sibling is completely different from the research.
Basically, the only thing they said about holder siblings was that they are more intelligent than their younger siblings... Isn't it pretty obvious that if you're older you are a little more intelligent then the ones who are younger than you. Why couldn't they have been more accurate?
Why am i even watching this video i'm a single child lol
Very true in regards to first and last born children ! Especially 1st born
My youngest sibling absolutely ruins this lists credibility.
Taking in consideration three cases in my family, this is extremely accurate
I’m one of three and none of these stereotypes reflect my family.
Bro. I'm last born and you just DESCRIBED ME!!!
(What an honest coincidence...)😂😂😂
Middle child. Best child. Don't argue Firstborns.
I my brother's friend's younger sibling (currently the middle child) is much smarter and respectful than his brother... I think middle children deserve more love compared to the eldest-
middle born child
my dad loves much my older sis and my mom loves my younger bro
but i was born adorable and loving everyone around me
I'm a first child for my mother, the third and youngest for my father. I don't know which one applies to me.
Those Chinese researchers probably had to praise the one-child policy. Saying that the only child experiences anxiety or isolation more could have lost them their jobs or funding. This is my conjecture but it’s a political reality to keep in mind.
well, i'm the eldest, i don't have the best grades and i don't like maths or sciences
Thanks for roasting me😊😊
As a first born I barely relate with this. I can have good grades but I don't really care about that, I don't want to be a leader despite some people "respect" me and my father always tell me I'm a terrible role model to my brothers (actually I'm very distant of them since they're product of another marriage)
This just confirmed I'm a middle child
I’m a middle child & I must say I do agree with everything for middle children except the fact that we have less accomplishments & how I’m not at all open (also I can be impulsive but other times not, it depends). I’m the smart one out of my siblings (including the fact I have more accomplishments), I tend to be the most blunt (even though all my siblings are blunt, I’m just a little bit more in my opinion 😂)
Sadly a very high percentage of youngest siblings I've known are very self destructive and want others to care for them. The only exception is when the oldest sibling has those traits.. Anyone else seeing that or is there something in the water out here..?
2nd to last born. Fit middle and last child combined🤷🏾♂️
You should have named this video "Middle Children Roast"
funny how my oldest sister got everything opposite. She gets spoiled instead of the younger, idk y.
I`m the middle, i get harsher treatment than my oldest.
I’m the oldest child but ... I relate more with the middle child
I'm the last born child and all these things are the opposites of me.
This is really interesting especially from a unique perspective
Everything in this video is so wrong about me my brother and my sister!!!😂😂😂
The last born is the most obedient? I don’t think so...my youngest brother belongs in the zoo
Im middle and, uh..
Im just ignored.
Everything else falls under the first-born quality.
My older brother acts more middle born as you described it.
Im a first born child but why tf am i not good at math?!😆
I'm the first born child and I'm a failure as a leader. I actually feel more like the description of the míddle born children. My younger siblings get along so well with eachother and with our parents, while I'm just an akward potato who doesn't get along with anybody and is wasting space and time there.
I'm a middle child. I kinda am a bit more impulsive.
LAST BORNS WHERE U AT (plus there was like ONE SINGLE line of dialogue for explanation of last borns so that’s bullshit)
The last child is not true because it's only relying on the children themselves or their parents.
i was the only child for 11 years so i see myself as a mix between the only child and the oldest
1st born is like no one in my family
2nd born is like my brother
3rd born is like my sister
SO WERE THE HECK IS MINE I DONT FIT ANYWHERE I DONT BELONG
Just curious, but how many of you are the only child? How's life for you?
Psych2Go i'm an only child and life is going pretty well
I am the only child! I love it!
only child, abused by mother and neglected by father soooo going pretty well i guess?
Psych2Go Being an only child has its pros and cons. Pros include me getting all my parents affection and attention + resources. And cons include loneliness (which I experience often).
is good
Older: 1 insult
Middle: ALL INSULT
Younger: NO INSULT (probably because you did it off of the parents, and they dont see the whole truth)
Only: ....
ObsidianPotato what was the insult on the older one??
I'm the youngest I get bullied by all family members :')
Funny, i get the most insult while being the youngest
i am the youngest and i am getting much insult...
Only children get worshipped by those who have siblings. And no, we are not lonely, as we learn to be without other people for a longer period of time.
I'm always being compared to my older sister. My mother always says things like "Your sister ALWAYS got A's, while you only gets C's." or "Your sister draws better than you" (My profile picture is one of her drawings she made for me)
I could be happier if my mother didn't do this to me ALL THE TIME. I don't blame my sister, i love her by the way, and I understand that it's my mother's fault, since my sister didn't choose to be the first.
Sorry if I misspelled something, english is not my first language.
I'm sorry your mother acts like that :( I just want to let you know that even if other will compare you to your sister, you are your own person, not her. Do what you want to make yourself happy and no one else!
nobodys drawing skills should be compared to that masterpiece. no parents should even give a crap if you're not a good drawer..
My mother just isn't a good mother. At least my dad is great. I love him.
Your mom sounds like a bit of a jerk. I don't seem to see my parents doing that with my younger brother, but if they did I'd be sure to say something about it.
Kami Lee She doesn't sound like a bit of a jerk, she IS a jerk. My sister always defends me, but my mom always argues and when my side is wining she says "Ugh, Stop whining, I'm tired."
does not describe my family,maybe we're an exception.
Yes, so birth orders don't capture all family dynamics. Did you want to share a bit about yours?
Feels as well bad to say this,but the last one doesn't match my little brother either.He's not much of an altruistic person.He's very chaotic and seems cold...
the first one is pretty accurate though.Psych2Go
same here
Chariskain same
Me: huh I wonder what this video says about middle children? I bet it'll match me perfectly!
Video: * absolutely roasts middle children*
Me: MIDDLE CHILDREN DON'T GET JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD!
I know it is awful being middle child
@I love Angelique not really for me its the opposite im not that close to the firstborn ;-;
@I love Angelique I'm a last born and I get snitched on by the oldest
Disagree, the middle child in my fam is the fave lmao
same as youngest children
Birth order is so inaccurate
I'm last born and I use fancy words( I say this everyday at my job) we have to organize the books sequentially so it will be easier for the consumer to find it.
I'm a first born child and I don't think it is true either I am terrible at math and science, I am always nervous, and when I was younger I took speech classes because I couldn't speak very well. The middle child is true to the 3rd older child in my family. The 2nd older sibling is always compared to me because he doesn't try at all. The youngest sibling doesn't listen to anyone in my family, is super rude and mean doesn't exactly try and gets mad easily.
I thought longer about this and my thesis is that many of these things are because of how your parents treated you. Many who were last born, probably weren't treated like one, but often you can find similar tendencies in families and this is on what this is based on.
