[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school cut off for bdays here is Jan 1-Dec 31. So all kids in the same grade are born in the same year. I don't know any kids that have been redshirted here.
Anyway, all this redshirting talk reminded me of this. My sister planned to have her kids in Oct, Nov or Dec because they would be home less with her, less daycare cost if she used daycare. She couldn't wait to have her kids in school asap.
She thought having a kid in January was stupid, when you could have one in December and they would both start school at the same time.

Looking back it was indicative of certain things with her[/quote]

Your situation is your situation, but this strikes me as really unfair. If I could plan to have a child in a month that would save me THOUSANDS of dollars, I would most certainly consider it. That benefits the kid too, you know. It's really not that different than teachers planning to have a baby in April/May/June to minimize maternity leave taken. [/quote]

She didn't really do it for the monetary savings though. 
That was what she said as a factor in why it is better generally.
But she has been a SAHM, her kids are now 18, 17.[/quote]
