It Sucks to be the Middle Child but it doesn’t when you are the middle child &THE ONLY GENDER

[@DaRazee]

As a second child in my family, this is funny and sad at the same time! 😂😢

[@angweiming4518]

It's so true being the middle child,as if you are invisible,your parent just ignore you and you just do what you want,not much care ❤,so relatable 😂😊Not much attention to you 😂

[@sharonler-2782]

True but sad 🥲

[@kurialiew9888]

I like how they credited Nic for method acting 😂

[@joshua1919]

"Because my old clothes is all Benzo's clothes" In my family, some of my clothes are from my brothers 🤣

[@grozaphy]

oldest boy, 2nd child here. smaller than my younger brother so some of the clothes my brother doesn't like goes to me :(

[@Max-mi3bp]

Being the middle child is asome because your like your brother or your sister it doesn’t matter if you are the oldest or the youngest it’s the same person.

[@PiereLovesRed7316]

Rip My cousin who endured ALL THIS like even his Mom forgot about his Birthday

[@taachibingu]

I am laughing and crying as a middle child 😂😭

[@Haruki...-]

Yaa

[@Its_aignaplayzYt]

somehow as the youngest child I relate to the middle child most 💀

[@rahmikamila2599]

Rasanya agak mau nangis nonton ini :') Paling sering disuruh ngalah, sering disalahin, yg paling awet kalo punya barang, jadi tempat curhat alias tempat sampah emosi orang tua :'(

[@sirjoel6415]

Should add some wholesome scenes to show the parents actually care inside cuz this got me feeling so bad for my man LOL

[@user-nu1uy4il3t]

Before youngest child was born, the middle was considered as the youngest child first

[@alexandramarkus9987]

Oldest child gets the worst discipline and parents make all their rookie mistakes on us, but we also get to be the leader/authority when the parents aren’t around so there’s that degree of respect there. Youngest child parents too old to care so they get away with everything and they get babied forever. Middle child gets the short end of both sticks, but as an oldest child I hated it that my parents were so much stricter with me than my younger siblings. There was this “you should know better!” attitude. I was also expected to get higher grades, probably because my parents spent the most attention tutoring me as a kid, whereas I tutored my younger siblings bc my parents weren’t gonna go through that twice. So they felt the most invested in me getting good grades. So when I did, it was almost as if they got to check something off their list and when the younger siblings did bad I got blamed bc I was supposed to tutor them rather than them getting in trouble for being lazy lol. Lots of older kids experience this. Interestingly it actually made me get better grades overall because nothing reinforces skills than teaching them to other people so I got dang good and it also helped later on when I was a uni lecturer I was really good right out of the gate with no teaching training. Edit to add: the middle child was a boy and the oldest and youngest were girls so my brother got special treatment for being the only boy so he’s probably not representative of all middle children, but I do think that setup evened out any anti-middle-child bias there could have been. Also I’m definitely the most independent and responsible of my sibs so I def have my parents to thank for that.

[@limandre7317]

then when there is no middle child, the oldest becomes both the oldest and the middle at the same time. every thing is your fault. the younger one is bad because you did not set a good example. the younger one always get the first pick because the older one must learn to give in. and the older one breaks all the rules so the younger on gets away with everything later in life.... getting to go out late... sleepover, friends birthday parties... when the older one does not have such experiences in life.

[@lisawang6711]

This is so funny but so right at the same time😅

[@aestaetic07]

[@ifihadagun03]

[@klyandshie]

the fact that I'm a middle child watching this..

[@et-ce8mw]

this is so relatable

[@dbuc4671]

As a genuine only child with no biological, half, adopted or step siblings whatsoever Im just watching this like _”…interesting”_ 😭

[@sailor_nub218]

As a middle child it hurts but it's all true

[@Skellysticc]

As a middle child, this is relatable

[@vngaming255]

Same. Older brother says that ma parents care for me. I don’t see it. I’m mostly neglected. My mum doesn’t care about me, nor does she rilly see me, sister doesn’t give a crap and dad was kicked out. ma older Brother is basically the parental leader and only one that notices me and cares for me even tho we can argue sometimes :P

[@wxshxngfxng]

2:45 SO RELATABLE LLORRR

[@alisetan26]

[@user-vt7je1lz4s]

Got damn is this so accurate I hate being the middle child I fight with my older sister I get in trouble but when I fight with my younger sister we both get in trouble

[@missmatchablossom]

[@vlazyboi8084]

FIRST WEEDING OF THE FAMILY. NICE!

[@jimw8615]

I am middle child exactly like Nic. However, my youngest bro is the most neglected one growing up. Different dynamic in different family

[@DuaHassan-jl2yw]

One time my teacher asked me if i was the oldest child or the youngest I said I was the middle child and the teacher straight up laughed at me

[@0nc1Henry]

This is why is sucks to have tuition at 3 pm every sunday

[@PiereLovesRed7316]

For me every Monday, Wednesday and Friday

[@destruction8192]

I am surprised the middle child didnt kill his entire family😂

[@krishnilnand5284]

[@embershen364]

The drinks part is true for me😢

[@lemon2524]

My man Nic is taking the brunt of negative characters.

[@PiereLovesRed7316]

Hey WahBanana I think I know why Nic is chosen to be the Middle Child, TO BE PUNISHED FOR HIS ACTING CAREER

[@mandychan7399]

[@ocean4171]

This is when Nic began his Villian Arc and when he reaches 18, his family is going to suffer the consequences. years later........ News reporter: 4 people living in Serangoon, Avenue 4 block 654 have died of mysterious circumstances. Three males, one of estimated age of 50, 29 and 20 and one female estimated age is 50, all of Chinese decent. The flat was ransacked with all the cash emptied out the Singapore Police Force is still investigating the case but no leads or traces have been found. We will keep you updated on the case, that is all we got for now, Good Evening and stay safe. Nic seating in his armchair in front of his television grinning and chuckling to himself as he turns off the television and finishes his glass of wine, before walking upstairs to his bedroom.

[@nevergonnagiveyouup3750]

wait so how does they know the middle child is second and not the youngest when they are born???

[@handguideline]

You did not need to put method acting next to nic's name

[@dunsu5882]

I’m the middle child myself and with my sisters as oldest and youngest child. Unlike most of this video, my parents are treating me like the oldest/child one due to being with autism, while my able sisters can be independent and care themselves. The Oldest/Youngest child of the sick part is me, because my mom notices that I’m sick once.

[@alexanderwee7781]

CHRYSAN AND AUDREY PLS

[@melodylyn6956]

How did you know that would be the second child ? Since you name him before the youngest. I mean he could be the youngest at that moment. Second child is here …..

I pity you Nikeles 😢

[@AmosNg555]

Grandpa (Dad's Side): Young man we are extremely crossed with you why did you neglected your Middle Child & you better gave us an explanation about this!? Dad: Here's why, my son is an idiot so therefore I neglected my own son for a various reasons. Grandpa (Dad's Side): You know damn right that Parents should treat their children with love & equally this is what your Mom & I have teach you already we cannot believe that we raised a son with no heart at all you know what for neglecting your Middle Child you're getting the caning! Kneel down right now! *Dad Kneels Down On The Floor* Grandpa (Dad's Side): *Spanks Dad With His Cane* This is what you deserve for treating your Middle Child so badly! Has your Middle Child come home yet!? Dad: No! Grandpa (Dad's Side): *Spanks Dad With His Cane Again* Then this is what you get for being a heartless Father until you reflect what you did to your own son! Grandma (Dad's Side): You're grounded until you learn the importance of loving your children equally now go upstairs to your room & think about what you did you psychopathic fool! Also we will be calling your Parents-In-Law for what you did! Dad: Alright fine. *Cries & Goes To His Room* *Meanwhile* Grandma (Mom's Side): What!? Thanks for informing us! She will be getting the caning once she comes home! *Later* Mom: *Comes Home* Grandma (Mom's Side): Young lady, we just got a call from your Mother-in-law and said that you & your husband neglected your own child tell us! Mom: Yes I did. Grandpa (Mom's Side): Oh my God! Young lady how could you do such a thing to your Middle Child like that! You know damn well that your Middle Child does not deserved to be treated like this! So you know what you're getting the caning kneel down now! *Mom Kneels Down On The Floor* Grandma (Mom's Side): *Spanks Mom With Her Cane* This is what you get for being a heartless Mother!
