13 Hilarious Memes That Only a Middle Child Will Understand

Middle child syndrome is real, y’all and sometimes nothing can say it better than a middle child meme. We start out in life as the youngest, the baby, the one who can do no wrong. While we never quite reach the Crown Jewel status typically reserved for the firstborn, we have the privilege of getting away with whatever we want and being coddled and fretted over. And then for some reason, mom and dad decide to have another kid, and BAM! Life as we know it is never the same. If you’re a middle child, you’re probably used to being overlooked, blamed for everything, and generally ignored in favor of your older and younger siblings.

So what’s a middle child to do?! Is it any wonder we resort to shenanigans to secure our rightful place within our family?

Life in the middle can be rough, and we’re sure that middle children everywhere will connect to these hilarious middle child memes about how it feels to be the messy filling in a perfect sibling sandwich.
