I would have loved to be born the 06-06-06!
Since there are women who were induced early the past couple of days to avoid delivering a newborn on 06-06-06, the radio station this morning was asking what the worst birthdate would be.
Popular choices include:
Christmas Eve/Christmas Day
Valentine's Day
April Fool's Day
Fourth of July
Comments? My BIL's birthday is Christmas Eve, but his family always made a special effort to celebrate that before Christmas or after, so it didn't get lost in the holidays. I think April Fool's Day would be a great birthday, but in a book I recently read, the main character was horrified that she was giving birth on April Fool's Day and slipped a nurse a $50 to lie on the birth certificate and say her daughter was born at 12:02 am April 2.

I'm gonna go with Christmas/Christmas Eve... just because your family would try to smush the 2 together... I'm glad my birthday is in May so that the gifts get spread out a bit more
My husband's birthday is December 31st. New Year's Eve. His sister's is April Fool's Day. That family seems to have a thing for holidays...
Mine is 12/28, which is bad enough. Everyone is so caught up in being broke after Christmas and getting ready for New Year's, that there's actually been 3 birthdays in my lifetime that everyone (parents and best friend included) forgot. I'd usually just get one *big* gift for Christmas/Birthday and a Christmas card with "Happy Birthday" written in it, yet my brother (10/24) always got 1 good one for each. So I learned to accept it and quit giving a damn about it.
Now that I'm over 30, I'm happy when it's forgotten.
February 29, since your birthday would only be celebrated once every four years.
i'm gonna have to say Feb. 29th.
damn you NBA junkie!
mine is 12/15.
I don't celebrate birhtdays now. but as a child alot of my extened family did and they would send me the double present - 1 gift with 2 cards.
cheapskates.
If your going to blatently violate my beliefs and act against my wishes - at least do it right. erg!
Today by far would be the worst birthday. I was just telling my sister how glad I was that there is no way I could have a baby today.
My mother was never happy in the years Mothers' Day fell on her birthday--she only got one present
mine is 3/15, and that spooks the few people who do recognize the ides of march. doesn't bother me though. it's always weird to get carded and have someone mention it.
Uh, o! My birthday, 9-11 !!!!
OH! One of the professors here is a Feb 29. She said the only time it was an issue (she normally celebrates on the 2/28, for convenience) was when she turned 21, because they went bar hopping and one bouncer was convinced her license was a fake ID and tried to confiscate it, but the manager gave it back after examining it.
The first time I met Gino was on Feb. 29- truly a special occasion.
Harrrrr.
June 6th sometimes sucks. Some people seem to think you're the spawn of Satan for some reason.
you sure they didn't thnk that BEFORE they knew your birthdate???
i know my cousin is the spawn of satan no matter what his parents say.
and i can't complain about my birthday
Now why would that not surprise me....
My mom's birthday falls on Thanksgiving most years - actually, I think she likes it because it's not a holiday you usually get gifts on, so she gets the awesome dinner, the whole family together, and presents.
I'm December 30, and it used to bug me having a birthday falling that close to Christmas, but I don't really care anymore. What sucks about it though is that you get all your gifts for the year in like a week - my late grandfather kicked ass, he used to save his present for me until June 30th on my half birthday
you sure they didn't thnk that BEFORE they knew your birthdate???
My uncle used to tell my mom "you're child's going to be born on the 6th of June and he's going to have the Mark of the Beast on him!"
And then I was born on the 6th.
And they really did check me for 6's.
My husband and I are one month apart (3/4, 4/4) and we picked our anniversary for that reason, six months away, not near any gift giving occasions . . .
My sister got married on Dec 21, and she and her husband never get each other separate gifts, they always get smushed despite their best intentions (or worse, forgone, because they've overspent on Christmas gifts).
for real?

August 24th is the worst day to be born on.
