Being a middle child in an Indian family isn’t easy.

r/

Hey, I’m the middle child in my family and the first daughter. I’ve experienced partiality at home, especially from my mom. She says she loves me, but sometimes it doesn’t feel genuine. I work from home, so I don’t even get a chance to step out, and that really sucks. Sometimes, I just cry alone. I like being by myself.

    being the middle child already feels like being invisible, and in desi families it hits ten times harder when expectations and favoritism get thrown in

    Damn, that sounds rough fr. It’s like you’re there for everyone but no one’s really there for you, and that shit gets heavy.

    I’m a middle child + first/only daughter. It was hard. I feel like I didn’t have a childhood. I was the other parent. :/ I feel for you. It’s hard.
