Theo from Cosby...Chip from My Three Sons...Ritchie Cunningham(remember Chuck?) from Happy Days...and the God...Danny from The Partridge Family! Like Jan And Peter Brady they are all middle children who make thier families "never a dull moment". Being a middle child(of 3...yes it must be an odd number)myself it was not easy growing up. Sometimes it seemed that my parent forgot I was there and I had to do "special" things to get noticed. I was always the one getting into trouble and getting lickins... but it only made me stronger and prouder. Any middle children out there who can relate? Share a thought.

I used to think that what # child you were didn't matter, but now I've changed
my view. I have 4 grown "kids" and my first son and second daughter are far
more agressive than my first daughter (oldest) and second son (middle). I can
attribute some of their traits to their personality but my brother can attest that
being a middle child was NOT enviable. He was the first son and a lot of burdens
were placed on him...be filial, be good, etc. But middle children survive because
they must! ;)

I'm a middle child of five. Yeah it sucked having to listen to my two older sisters and be nice to my kid brother and sister. But its all good. Everyone still goes to dad and mom's for gatherings and everyone always talks about how I tortured them when I was a kid haha.
