Middle child here, and the biggest issue? My older sibling.
Moments I personally believe that was toxic in particular:
1. Us siblings were gaming and in call on discord...and I was borrowing older’s laptop. For some reason, I wanted to log into my account to join call. Apparently it was logged into older’s work account but I never knew because it was also a throwaway account we made to troll older’s significant other on April fools. I get blamed because I didn’t expect older to not have their account details recorded or memorized. We made up, and I had to apologize because it was still my fault in the end apparently.
2. Mom finds disposable mask on dining table, and asks if it was me or younger. Younger defends themselves, but mom was skeptical. Then she accused me, to which I defended that I always wear a black reusable (cloth) one (she was also skeptical too, believing I probably misremembered or forgot). Notice how she completely ignores older, who was in the room with us and never tried to ask if it was them even though they also went out to buy groceries earlier that day. I was sick of seeing her omit fault to my older, so I suggested it was probably someone who went out today. Older defended by saying the mask was probably left there at a different day, and that was the end of that. No suspicion, skepticism, or anything. Older passed mom’s suspicions smoothly.
3. Whenever something is misplaced, or chores not done, the blame is always shifted to me or younger. I admit, I am quite forgetful and clumsy, so half the time I was in the wrong. But when it’s clear that neither of us played a part in it, it was the older who insisted it “had to be one of us.” Notice how older is often the blamed here, no matter if it was actually my fault or younger, or neither.
4. I have seen this way too often in my lifetime. Younger is born with a short temper (genetics), and so does older. I’ve seen older and younger conversing together until older finds a topic that mildly annoys younger. Older proceeds to egg it on until younger practically ghosts older...basically just ignoring, to the point of walking away and slamming doors. Older puts on the “leader like, pure hearted older sibling face” by confronting younger, telling younger that their attitude is wrong and they shouldn't have been mad.
