These are the reasons we disagree with Neurosis. Ask me anything.

It wouldn't have been that long if Nuro had answered yes or no. 😆

Be specific!!

Be specific!!

Well that's hard to do because so many things are involved. Time of day, weather conditions , current Pope, moon phase etc!

Talked with a co-worker today... he said something insightful; "birth order matters" . In case anyone with siblings wants to weigh in. I'm a singleton... I've got nuthin. 

There's 4 in the stack; 36, 28, 26, and 20. The 26 year old is the one we're having difficulties with at the moment.

So Dave, have you realized yet that you are not allowed to have a thoughtfully rationalized and carefully examined and re-examined opinion on anything?

I notice it a lot more when people disagree with you.

The middle child difficulties are not a meme. My younger brother is the middle of three, and has been the most difficult to deal with overall for my parents. Really retracted from the family, especially after our parents separated, a few abusive women came and went from his life, and my mom's untimely passing 3 years ago (cancer at 53).

I'm sorry I can't give any advice, I know you're probably doing as much as you can, or that he will allow. In my experience, those kids in the middle can feel hard done by, like they had less than the firsts, and saw the last borns live with more freedoms. Parents get blamed for that kind of perceived injustice from childhood, and it can lead to a kind of background resentment that colours the attitude of middle kids toward their whole family. And it doesn't seem to go away. I don't mean at all to insinuate that the parents are responsible for doing anything specifically negative either. I only know what I've seen from having a middle sibling, and seeing others around me have similar experiences: an anecdotal correlation of lower emotional resilience.

I hope in the near future you guys will be on a path of reconciliation, all the best
