[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The curse of the middle child! Why add chores to the kid that needs you? Why are you comparing your middle child to your older child? How cruel to add more chores to a kid that sounds like he needs more social interactions and more activities. Why not add a fun activity for you and him, or dh and him? Like movie on the weekend, kicking the ball, hiking, etc... I had to get used to doing organizing all this for dd. She is extremely social and dh and I are not, we were not going to stifle our kid just because we are duds.[/quote]

Middle child plays 2 sports, cub scouts, chess club and plays piano. He has tons of activities. We also eat dinner together as a family every night. We do family movie night, play family board games, go on family outings. He is not a neglected child. He also probably has a play date or birthday party once a week as well and we get together with our family friends pretty often.

I help middle child with homework, talk about his day. Dh plays soccer and basketball with him.[/quote]
