Not since I was a teenager.

NormasArse · 03/02/2026 23:11

It’s my 60th this year (midway through), so I shall be celebrating it throughout the whole year! Started last month!

In Korea you are 1 when you are born and you get a year older every new year, so a baby born on December 31st is 2 years old when they are 1 day old.

It's an odd question, why are you asking?

CheddarCheeseAndCrispSandwich · 01/02/2026 21:11

No of course not!

ThePrecisionsifthisislove · 01/02/2026 21:06

No ,maybe a week before
Five months ..no

Astra53 · 01/02/2026 20:47

No

Swissmeringue · 01/02/2026 20:45

Yes, based on this I view 10 months of the year as either "nearly my birthday" or "just been my birthday". The other 2 months are for Christmas.

theonlygirl · 01/02/2026 20:44

No, I don't because that would be ridiculous, but my 14 year would 😂

Elsvieta · 01/02/2026 20:35

I think I did when my age was in single figures. When I actually wanted to be older.

Summerbay23 · 01/02/2026 18:37

I’ve definitely seen this thread or one very similar before.

JustGiveMeReason · 01/02/2026 18:22

No.

Unless you were planning to do something big for a milestone birthday, that you'd been dreaming about for years. Then yes.

Why do you ask @Aummernight77777 ?

FuzzyWolf · 01/02/2026 17:50

All of my young children would say yes!

RuthW · 01/02/2026 17:46

Yes

greengreengrass3 · 01/02/2026 17:36

No, that’s madness.
Mine is the end of this month, and I wouldn’t even say it’s nearly my birthday yet.

AgnesMcDoo · 01/02/2026 17:33

If I was aged under 10 yes I would.

bridgetreilly · 01/02/2026 17:16

Obviously not.

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 01/02/2026 17:11

Not remotely near.

cramptramp · 01/02/2026 17:05

No

Nannyfannybanny · 01/02/2026 15:47

You only have one Birthday, the day you were born..

Yep then pull though life year after year.

Anywherebuthere · 01/02/2026 17:04

No. Nearly would be less than a couple of weeks away.

OriginalSkang · 01/02/2026 17:04

Five days away is nearly my birthday

Peacefullbliss · 01/02/2026 17:03

ColdAsAWitches · 01/02/2026 16:28

Are you the same poster from a few weeks ago that was complaining that her boyfriend hadn't started planning her June birthday yet?

I saw that.
Grown women acting like kids thats all it is now on mumsnet.

Peacefullbliss · 01/02/2026 17:01

No.

JaquelineHide · 01/02/2026 16:29
