My husband didn’t know our son’s full birth date

@richardlp My grandmother does lol. Something got screwed up on her immigration papers. In the US it's in November, but it's actually in September.

@mozarella I had a friend whose parents did this and she told her 3rd grade teacher that it was her birthday in 2 days and then her secret birthday in 16 days.

@hilbrand This would have been me. I have always been terrible at keeping a secret

@mozarella My SIL’s mother did this (we are married to brothers, so not my MIL). She has an October bday and they forged it to August. Apparently it was never a problem until applying for college.
Well, my nephew is 9/1 and they wanted to send him to Kindergarten with an 8/1 cut off. Ma’am it is 2024!!!! She eventually came to her senses (and it’s wrong so don’t get me wrong I do disagree with it) but I feel like, with todays technology HOW would you even get away with it?!

 

[mozarella]

@benreborn Haha yeah, much easier in 1989 and it involved a simple typewriter and white out

 

[benreborn]

@mozarella Exactly hahaha. I think she graduated HS in 06-07 but nowadays with birth certificates and online doctors records I’m sure it would be much more difficult

@mozarella My parents did this but they made me a year older so I could start school at 4. I knew how old I really was though.

The bigger crime was that they put my last name down as my dad's and it wasn't until I went to apply for college that I learned my legal last name was different (my mom's).

@mozarella My mom did the same thing to me. I actually hate her for it.

@keepitsimple144 My mom asked me what year I was born once. Thats how you really know you’re the 3rd kid I guess.

I do have to pause on the date for my son’s birthday because it’s 5 days off from mine, and his year is my date.

@kumari5050 My bday is the 2nd, and my daughters is the 21st of the same month. My other daughter is the 20th of her month. I always have to slow down and make sure I say it right!

 

[cherishedteddies]

@carmenzn Both of my younger kids were born in the year of their older sibling’s birth day.

So 7/18/15
Then 9/23/18
And 6/14/23

That is…challenging for me to remember. I too must slow down and think.

 

[karosti]

@cherishedteddies My kid's birthday is July 3rd, so I always have a brain fart when people talk about the 4th of July thinking the holiday is actually the 3rd.

 

[kumari5050]

@karosti Hey I have a July 3 one too!

 

[fletchermoore]

@karosti My oldest bday is July 5th. He was due on the 3rd.

 

[katrina2017]

@karosti My daughters birthday is 7/3 as well

 

[gods_green_angel]

@cherishedteddies Wowza

 

[divinemarissa]

@carmenzn My older sister is the 27th, brother is 22nd, I’m the 21st, younger sister is 22nd, dad is 21st. All different months. My mom really struggled sometimes

 

[gabrielbarry]

@carmenzn Everyone in my immediate family (parents, siblings, and kids) has a birthday containing only 0,1, or 3. 03, 10, 13, 30, and THREE 31s. I'm done having kids but we've told my sibling that any further children will need a scheduled C-section on one of those days

 

[mjd]

@carmenzn My first is the 28th in 2022, my second is the 20th in 2023, and my stepson is the 29th in 2013. So many 20s!!!!

 

[jesusfolloweranthony]

@kumari5050 I'm sorry, no. I have 5 kids, I do have to actively think about which date goes with the last 2 because the numbers intermix, but I remember all 5 of their birthdays. Maybe it was an off-hand, exasperated question because they just could think any more that day?
