Baby New Year?

By Fiona the Deceived - 30/05/2018 19:00

Today, I found out that my birth date was entered incorrectly, and I’ve been believing that I am a year older than I really am. I’m actually 14, not 15. How did this happen? Both my parents and the doctor got the year of my birth wrong. FML

I've never had a child before, but don't you have to register your new born? Wouldn't they catch on if the baby being registered is born a year ago?

So wait... your parents forgot how old you were, and checked your birth certificate to figure it out? Like, even if my kid's birth certificate said they were 3, I'd know they were 2. At what point did they forget?

That’ll suck until you’re 21, then it’ll be great to be a year younger than expected.

I’m trying to figure out how that is possible to go unnoticed for that long. Sucks though

You can register a baby within 12 months of their birth. you're supposed to do it within 30 days however they understand sometimes things don't always work out that way. also you can register later than a year however at that point it's a lengthier process and there's a fee.

Stick with the lie. But not with bf

The only way this makes sense is if OP was adopted as a child and somehow the child's D.O.B. was messed up on the paperwork?

Were you born at home? If I was you i would check missing babies 14 years ago and a death record for the baby they lost. I am not sure how this happened

Were you born in the 60's? If so I would say your lucky that's all they forgot

HEY!!!! I was born in the 60's, and.... uh...um... What?

At least you found out now, not 3 years from now!
