Is this normal in parenting?

Is this normal or is something wrong with me? Me n my oldest and youngest get along quite fine but with my nine year old its a constant struggle. Please give me advice as i feel like a horrible mother.

Really depends on what the struggle is? Perhaps you need more one on one time together? Or counseling? Is it a clash of personalities or a phase? Sooo many questions.

Middle child syndrome is a thing. Maybe put aside some time to bake a batch of cookies together and see if you can find anything out, help her along. We all have heavy days or weeks. Maybe she’s ignoring a school project or confused about something. Keep your lines working, anyway. XXXOOO

She’s the middle child, she may need a little extra loved, we’re always left out or unheard or unseen
