6 reasons why being a middle child is cool
There is no reason for you to feel unloved anymore.
By being a middle child, you are not under pressure to get married.
That is one of many reasons why being a middle child might not be too bad.
National Middle Child’s Day gives special recognition to all people who have older and younger siblings and who may not have received many attention from their parents because of this.
There are, however, advantages of being a middle child and they are listed as follows:
1. Because middle children had to solve problems between their fighting siblings, they are referred to as the go-to mediator between friends.
2. You probably shared a room with your siblings at some point in your life which could make you a pretty good roommate.
3. Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter are middle children.
4. Because you may have put up with your older sibling’s demands and your younger sibling’s nagging, you are a good negotiator. Use this to your advantage.
5. If your older sibling made important decisions like move out of the house before you do, it may have prepared you to either do the same, or refrain from doing so based on your parent’s reaction.
6. An online article reported 52 per cent of presidents in the country have been middle children. This means an incredible leading ability and you too could become a president.
