I have a middle daughter who sounds very much like yours and is constantly feeling hard done by. I'm slowly beginning to realise she is not!

I too have three girls, and my oldest and youngest are twins separated by 5 years and my middle child has curly hair too. It's actually scary how basically, everything you wrote is exactly how my girls are. My middle little lady is exactly how you wrote about yours. She so desperately wants attention and even though we feel that we do give her extra attention, we need to give her more. She will do things just to piss us off but then she can be just the sweetest kid and so helpful. Cheers to you for writing this....we shall stand strong together!ashbakkegardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331350247169917985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691787304230239228.post-38418344844319834162013-08-07T17:06:05.133+08:002013-08-07T17:06:05.133+08:00You just made me cry!

Looks different from her sisters, strong willed, hillarious and the hardest little soul but she makes me smile. I can relate to all your posts.

I say "spirited" which means she has a strong will and high energy....you get my drift. So she's hard work but I love her to bits. This post reminds me that she is still finding her place in the world (and our family) and I need to be sensitive to this.

There was always someone to play with and I enjoyed being the older sister to my baby sister and protected by my big sister. I wouldn't change my birth order for anything. <br />Fran Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
