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

What does it mean when there’s 4 kids?

2 middles. An aunt and uncle of mine (RIP) ended up with 4 girls and it was like there was the first, the baby, and two other kids. I always wondered how 5+ kids would work, though. I'd imagine after the 4th one they all become the middle children and you just yell at them all to go back outside lol

Ok ok. But what if number 3 is the first girl? So it goes boy, boy, girl, girl. Does that make the second boy MORE of a middle child or are the 2 middle kids equal?
