I am the middle child in my family I wish I were not sometimes. My brother and sisters have an easier life than I do. My older brother is very responsible he is lyke a third parent my sisters and I have to do what he tells us if our parents are not home. he also has more freedom than we do. He can go out on the weekends and stay out late we have to be home by 10 p.m.. While my brother has more freedom than I do, my sister's have an easier life. They r twins they get a lot of attention for our parents. My parents don't often spend thyme with me they spend most of their time with my sisters. Because I'm not the oldest, I do not have the same power as my brother, but I do not get the extra attention either. As a result, I think the middle child is not lucky at all.
