[quote=Anonymous]Playing along here-  September and October are obviously the best birth months (unless you are in one of those weird school systems with a 9/30 cut off, but most are 9/1).  Good weather, get to be one of the oldest in both school AND most sports, and not competing with any other major holidays or celebrations.  December and January are, IMO, obviously the worst because you're competing with Christmas lead-up and then Christmas fatigue, and your kid doesn't need any additional gifts a week before or a week after Christmas, and no one can come to their party in December and everyone has some sort of gross illness in January.

Summer birthdays also suck because you can't celebrate them in school, no one can come to your parties, and you're the youngest.

Spring birthdays are ok but you're still one of the youngest.

That being said, if your wife gets pregnant in Jan (for an Oct baby), miscarries in March... is she going to wait until December to even try getting pregnant again, and then stop trying in March?  And what if she tries for an October baby but it's born 2 months early?  I mean.... sounds like she could use some serious anxiety meds [/quote]
