If you had a kid with the same birthday as you...

[SamTheEagle]

:toth:

[trondogss]

Not quite the same, but my daughter shares a birthday with her aunt and her great grandfather.

[glassjaws]

My wife is 1 day off from her mother.

[Browncoat]

Where's the option for "Only if I was born on my dad's birthday."?

Start your own giraffing poll if you don't like mine!

[Browncoat]

Um...I meant, "Yes." :tfh:

[The Drunken Actuary]

Hell yes. That would be the freaking coolest thing EVAR!

[SamTheEagle]

Hell yes. That would be the freaking coolest thing EVAR!

Vote or die.

[Flower]

Would I have to celebrate the kids birthday instead of my own? That doesn't seem fair.

[Flower]

I voted maybe a little.

[ldancer911]

My wife is 1 day off from her mother.

My Birthday is 1 day earlier than my dad's. Me and my brother have the same birthday (he is two years older than I am).

[Han Solo]

My first daughter shares a birthday with my mother.
And my second daughter shares a birthday with my sister.

[ldancer911]

My Birthday is 1 day earlier than my dad's. Me and my brother have the same birthday (he is two years older than I am).

In terms of the poll, my sister is the favorite :shrug:

[Meshuga]

having the kid born the same day would be great on that day. after that, you get screwed and have leftover cake the rest of your life. (my kid was born the day before my 30th birthday)

[Nee-2-No-Bases]

I would undoubtedly love it less.

I don't like to share. I want my own birthday. I don't want to have to share it with anyone, much less someone in my immediate family.

Why would anyone like to share their birthday?

"Hey, it's my special day. Only it's not quite so special because I have to share it with someone. Oh, yeah, and that someone is my kid, which basically ensures that people are going to ignore my birthday and only focus on the kid, because what kind of people would ignore the kid on his birthday to give attention to a grown man? Only a$$holes would do that. So horray for me! No one is ever going to care about my birthday again. At least not until my kid is too old for people to care about his birthday and I happen to be at a special birthday, like 50th or something. So, great! I have to wait until I am 50 before anyone cares about my birthday again. I'm so lucky!!"

So apparently I forgot to add an option for "No, I would resent them and love them so much less than the others".

That's what I was thinking. I'd probably love the kid LESS! ;)

Start your own giraffing poll if you don't like mine!

Wow. What have I done to cause you to treat me thus, Sam?

[SamTheEagle]

He didn't directly insult my poll like you did, you giraffing giraffer.

And besides, that option is encompassed in "Of course not! WHat the hell is wrong with you?", so start using it people.

[Browncoat]

I have a neice born on my 19th birthday. She's a favorite, but more because she's very cool and comes from a cool family.

I also have a daughter born on my mom's birthday, and while I haven't seen Mom treat her any differently than the rest, I'm still using it as justification to not have to buy Mom a birthday present ever again.

[GargoyleWaiting]

That depends.
What sort of birthday present did it buy me?

[SamTheEagle]

I also have a daughter born on my mom's birthday, and while I haven't seen Mom treat her any differently than the rest, I'm still using it as justification to not have to buy Mom a birthday present ever again.

:shake:


:tup:

[ADeliciousDish]

Where is the option for loving it less cause that little ****er is stealing my thunder???

[Browncoat]

Dude, don't insult the poll!

[ADeliciousDish]

Where is the option for loving it less cause that little ****er is stealing my thunder???

Damn. Nicely done nee2

[SamTheEagle]

Dude, don't insult the poll!

Seriously! What the hell?

[SamTheEagle]

At any rate, I would suggest that if you're 28, not having a kid born on your 29th birthday.

[Maine-iac]

My sister's birthday is one day after my Mom's was. Can't say that I ever noticed any favoritism growing up. Only advantage to Sis that I ever saw was that Sis naturally got Mom's birthstone ring when Mom passed on.

I'm told Sis was born in the wee hours of the morning, so Mom must have spend most of her birthday in labor. I always thought that was probably a pretty crappy way to spend your birthday.

[soyleche]

My older brother was born on my mom's birthday, and I'm pretty sure my mom loves me the most, so...

Well, okay, she probably loves my little sister the most, but I've gone and moved to the other side of the country so I've got the whole "absense makes the heart grow stronger" thing going forme.

[tometom]

I'll ask my MIL her thoughts. Both my wife and my SIL have the same birthday as my MIL.

My wife was 2 weeks late and my SIL was 2 weeks early.

[SamTheEagle]

Yeah, I haven't been getting much sleep, waiting for the answer.

[Gentle Giant]

My dad and his mother were born a day apart from each other. They always had to have a shared party, and Grandma was a bit of an attention whore (respect for the dead, GG, respect for the dead). When she died, Dad confided that he was looking forward to finally enjoying his own birthdays. He had a solemn 58th (first without her), a modest 59th, then went all-out and had a super-awesome 60th.

[Samantha]

I stopped celebrating my birthday decades ago. It's just not a big deal to me. So, I wouldn't care. It would become his birthday and it would probably take him 20 years to realize it was also my birthday, because I would never bring it up.

[Inconceivable]

I'm assuming the right answer was already said: I'd give them up for adoption.

Nobody steals my thunder.

Abso-gravilutely*.

I don't even like my birthday NOW. Sharing a birthday MIGHT just convince my wife to spend less per person on gifts. (Who am I kidding?)

* I have no idea what that word means. I just made it up.
