Rhyme.
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby.

Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
