[quote=Anonymous]Middle child here - it's likely a personality-based thing, not a birth-order thing. I was treated like an incapable toddler all my life--even to the point that my parents decided what college I went to. I always felt like I had to listen to their advice because they knew what was best for me. It turns out they just never helped me make any decisions on my own (or taught me how to bounce back from failure) because they held my hand every step of the way. I had to majorly pull back because it was hurting my marriage and other friendships. It hurt them but I have a lot more confidence in my own decisions and am able to say "no" to them even if it might hurt their feelings.[/quote]
