Person on FB today, one of those relentless #makingmemories #lovemybabies #yummymummy types posts a sickly sweet happy 10th birthday message to her daughter about how she has loved her for a whole decade. Two hours later post is edited to say happy 9th birthday. WTF? Surely you would at least delete and repost rather than having it all up in your edit history? If you were somehow able to forget the age of YOUR OWN ELDEST CHILD?

Just yikes Grin

I'm the first to vote that IABU by the way, I thought it just might make us parents who aren't social media perfect feel a little bit better for a second or two Grin

That’s brilliant Grin

Hilarious. And fair play to her for not deleting!!! I'm sure I have a memory issue - dates of important events just don't register. I couldn't tell you what time my kids were born or their weights and I have to REALLY think about their birthdays so I have some sympathy with her. 🤣

Actually hilarious 😂 I’d have acknowledged the massive parenting fail publicly if I were her. At least make a joke out of it 😂

I love my dc to bits and do occasionally post about them on fb (if we've been for a nice day out or whatever, not gushing so much as posting like I'm starting a conversation) and I have been known to get their ages wrong and have to edit it!

Haha, I have a shit memory too and frequently forget my own age, let alone those of my now mostly grown up offspring! I never forgot on their actual birthdays though so I'm taking it as a tiny parenting win Grin I just hope she didn't buy the balloons and number candles and the usual Facebook stuff Grin

Oh god me too, and my friends probably wouldn't be too surprised either 😅

Do you think her daughter asked her why she got a card with 10 on it!

DrManhattan · 17/11/2021 08:30

Why would she even go and edit it? Literally no one cares.

I really hope she didn't get the wrong card, poor kid!
