Middle children often seem to get the least attention from their parents and complain that they are always stuck in the middle especially during family arguments! f Typical middle children can see both sides of an argument and so they are often peace-makers in the family. They are usually easy-going and good listeners: but they can be unambitious and indecisive and they are often unsure what to do with their lives. Princess Diana was a middle child and so are the singer Madonna and the computer billionaire Bill Gates!
