I am thinking the "Third Child Syndrome " is a catch all phrase for the
difficulty third children have in letting go of material possessions, and
other errant bad behavior. I am a pack rat as well. People come over and look
around and go, oh you bought more stuff. As a third child my 2 sisters had
everything better than me and I got a lot of hand me downs, and then there
was no one to hand the stuff down too for 9 years so I kept everything I
could.
