baby's due date is MIL bday. But have fibbed to the masses and told them it's a week earlier.

childish? yes i know? irrational? yup

MIL swings from being a lovely lady to a nightmare and recently has pissed me off a lot with her copius amounts of judmental/critical comments.

anyone else ever do this?

God no YANBU, I would do the same, I couldn't deal with all the preening etc etc if MIL thought the baby was due on her birthday, I think only 4%of babies come on their due date anyway so I wouldn't worry about it.

Hmmm.....were you early/late with DS1 ? Not that it's an exact science though is it I'm afraid. I know it's all the silly, irrational things you say but tbh - I agree with you !!

ds already shares his bday with a family member so this is just too much really

god the little sod is gonna come on it's due date isn't it.

My friend did this when her son was due on her sisters birthday! she doesn't speak to her sister! So she was due on 24th Sept and told her mum etc she was due round the start of oct... not so much of a lie really

I'm also sure that my SIL lied to my mum about their baby's due date. She said Middle of October [never specified a date] Yet when the baby was born on 2nd October [my mum's birthday ] I heard someone say to SIL how unusual it was for a first baby to be born on their due date LOL

Actually, I think it's a great idea although would definitely have gone for a date a week AFTER her birthday as then it also cuts out all those 'Is it here yet ??' daily calls as well
