THis birthday issue needs to die nobody is ever going to be happy with it... u prupose the Jan. 1 bday well I will tell u know....Im not complaining by any stretch of the imagination either just saying....but my sons 15th bday is Dec 31st so how would that be fair to him, no different than it is whith the Sept 1st day someone is going to be left out...He competed in AAU track and field for many years in grade school with the ABSOLUTE youngest bday ( they used Jan 1) and had he been born 8 hrs later would have been a 2 time National Champion. But hey he wasnt, he didnt and he is still able to talk about it, cant satisfy everyone so jsut take the rules we have and live with them.
