[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't want to share everything I just shared on this post with new parents or even new friends. I'd rather other parents just not ask or def not grill me about it. How can I do this? How do I do birthdays? I like having big birthdays and I still want to proud when my child turns 6, 7, 8, etc thoughout his school career. Should I try to hide his age or just have a short quick answer ready? I was thinking of saying we might move back to a state I grew up in- which now has a 31 July cutoff. I thought about mentioning my son was bon early by csection (true).

I just really don't want to go into this long explanation about our personal experiences. At the same time I don't want other parents to think ill of my child or me. Some people are very opposed to redshirting.

I agree w/ the PP that this seems too ridiculous to be true.  But, I have to ask OP: why such a long post on DCUM a if you don't want to go into details about a personal experience?  Way to keep your decision low key.  Also: "I don't want other parents to think ill of my child or me," -- that ship has sailed.   And WTF does an "early Csection" have to do with anything?  That has to be most bizarre reason ever for red shirting  5-6 (or 7!) year old.[/quote]
