Why is Ender called "Third"?

Ender is a very loving boy that loves his sister and loves his parents. He hates being called a third, but the name is given to him because people are only supposed to have two children, but the Wiggins were allowed three. The government was in control of Ender from his childhood up to age twelve.

Protagonist Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is born a "Third": a rare exception to Earth's two-child policy, allowed by the government due to the promise shown by his two older siblings.

Ender being a "Third" means that he is the third child of his family. For his parents, having a third child was negative. negative because it made Peter feel like he wasn't good enough when his parents were asked to "try again."
