And I also refuse to have my kids be anything where there is a .5. For example, I wouldn't be cool with a 1.5. 2.5 etc age gap.
I like when birthdays are around the same time.[/quote]

That is bizarre. [/quote]
Not really. Maybe I'm OCD. But I hate how my one sister is 7 years older than me half the year and 8 years older the other half.
Then you get kids who are 2.5 years apart but three grades apart. I like things neater than that.
Plus, I refused to give my kids birthdays in Nov-March. Those suck.[/quote]

You have many weird issues. [/quote]

a)  You really are OCD.  You do you, but know you sound a little crazy, lady.
b)  Not all of us conceive on the first or second shot.  As much as I'd like certain birth months, I'll take what I can get.
c)  Per above, my kid's January birthday has been just fine.  I was a little bummed at first, but was more just happy and relieved we finally got pregnant.  DH has a December birthday, so we know to be conscience not to let the holidays overshadow the birthday.[/quote]

I was annoyed when I realized my kid would have late August birthday because she'll always be the toughest in her class or we'll have to decide to red shirt her. She starts prek this year 2 days after her 4th birthday. Still kinda annoying, but I wouldn't trade her for the world.

I'm concerned when you say you'd refuse to give your kids certain birthdays. Does that mean you'd abort or that you abstain during certain months?[/quote]

My 2nd has a late August birthday and I worry about the same issue.  He's also really small for his age.  I mean TINY, and also is speech delayed.  I'm definitely keeping the option of redshirting open once we get to that time.  My 1st has a late December birthday, which also sucks because it's hard to get people to come to a party during the holiday.  This year we are going to have his party earlier in the month.  [/quote]
