It means the difference between my husband being 68 or 69 when the baby graduates from high school.  It means the difference between paying out of pocket for an extra year of preschool or daycare.   [/quote]

1.  The induction would need to be on 8/31 for your child to meet the cutoff.  
2.  No, it is not rational.
3.  An 8/31 birthday is not the only way to leave the K decision in your hands because you can apply for EEK.
[b]4.  Paying for an extra year of preschool or daycare is nothing compared to the stresses of having a child in a grade too old for his developmental capability (if this turned out to be the case).  Our neighbor's 8/31 son went "on time" because his parents wanted to save money and they have had years of problems (and extra help costing $$$).  [/b]These decisions cannot be made while the baby is in-utero.

You realize you are talking about an age difference of about a week?  The 8/31 date is so arbitary when you are talking about a few weeks before or after. The poster didn't say she wants to make the decision while her child is in-utero.  She said she wants to have the decision in her hands and not the counties when the time comes......sheeesh!  Who knows what she'll actually do when the time comes....heck she may hold her kid back.  Just because your friend made a bad decision for her kid doesn't mean it's a bad decision for another.  I think it's very rational to take this into consideration.[/quote]
