[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the middle child you lose the bond with, if you had it to begin with. The baby is often the favorite, or the one you are most connected to. The middle loses their role.[/quote]

Maybe for you, but this is a generalization that does not account for ages, temperaments, etc. This question also wrongly presumes that a parent cannot be strongly bonded to three children. OP is a troll.

It's rare for parents to be equally bonded to all children, especially once you are in the 3+ category. It's ideal, but not that common. Some kids handle it better than others.[/quote]

100% agree. I'm the eldest of 5 and pretty low maintenance. My mom is much closer with two of my siblings, one because they are very similar and one because he just needs a lot more from her. My mom and I love each other immensely, but she is absolutely not as closely bonded to all 5 of her children equally and that's fine, she's a great mom. [/quote]
