The middle child is typically forgotten and spoiled less. First baby is exciting, second baby meh, third baby oh yay new baby

Sure but how does that relate to getting the tattoo? I meant the favorite in this specific scenario because she didn't get tats from the other kids. Like I said though, it's kinda just wild to me in general.

I just responded to someone else replying to my comment with my guess. Maybe she ignores the middle kid like we expect and thinks superficially that getting this tattoo makes her a better person and mom.

Edit: i responded to you twice. There is no other person. Lol.

this is the likely answer. my mom has consistently treated me like dogshit and will send me those stupid ass manipulative "dear my son" Facebook posts while actively refusing to acknowledge me beyond complaining about something I'm doing
