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 💀

[@sirjoel6415]

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

[@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 :'(

[@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.

1:14 WE CAUGHT LINGYI DABBING LESSSS GO😂😂😂

[@user-nu1uy4il3t]

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

[@ifihadagun03]

relatable to the MAX 🤣😔

[@et-ce8mw]

this is so relatable

[@sailor_nub218]

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

[@lisawang6711]

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

[@aestaetic07]

5:15 the “method acting” 💀💀 it paid off though 😌🫠

[@vlazyboi8084]

[@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

[@dbuc4671]

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

[@klyandshie]

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

[@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

[@krishnilnand5284]

Being middle child I can relate 😂😂.. love from fiji 🇫🇯

[@alisetan26]

[@mrbacon288]

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.

Middle child here, all girls. And I usually love ling yi but now I'm sooooo mad at her!! How could she treat nic that way!! 😭😭 Middle child are always the most considerate, empathetic, sweet and selfless kind. No thanks to ma and pa.

[@wahbanana]

Mama loves you

[@michalphang]

@@wahbanana 😭😭❤️

[@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.

[@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 …..

[@alexanderwee7781]

CHRYSAN AND AUDREY PLS

[@handguideline]

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

[@nevergonnagiveyouup3750]

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

[@Garudaplane_Aviation152]

Respect to the middle child😡
