Families with three children tend to pay less attention to the middle child. In my case I had two children and three stepchildren. The oldest child was her grandmother’s favorite. The youngest was the mother’s and her second husband’s. I, of course, loved all three but the middle child was my favorite. He still is today. He grew rapidly and by the time he was a ten he was over six feet tall or 1.829 meters. We still talk frequently each month and when my biological son took everything from me, the middle child was right there to help me. He stepped right in and never even took credit for his actions. He has always helped me when I needed it. Many people dont even realize how important and valuable the middle child is. He always checks with everyone so he knows what is going on. One of their personality traits is that they trust their own judgment. It is important in life. Many individuals don’t realize the strong bond between the middle child and even a stepparent. One time we had to collect my late husband’s aunt at the airport. We brought her boyfriend and the middle and youngest child. The boyfriend took us to dinner and he said to my late husband that I truly loved and cared for his children. I appreciated it. Many people have blended families do you? There was only one adoption in the Good Gus series in the Christmas book of a single dad. The e-books are a quick download and great to read. In “Misplaced Trust” there were stepchildren who did try to steal, commit crimes, and cheat the biological heirs. It is an easy download in an e-book. Visit the site and download an e-book.
