Sports here (Canada) don't go by school grade... they go by birth year. Sports aside, I would rather not have a December 2024 baby in classes with 2025 kids. I'd rather my kid be a Jan-March 2025 kid.

I mean it can happen. I wouldn’t necessarily aim for a child to be born in January for this reason. My son now was born in April. And If I could “aim” for a date it would be Feb/March. People can deny it all they want but I’ve seen too many late year baby boys get bullied for being smaller - even if it’s just In the early years of school that shit leaves a lasting negative affect.

Having a semi-professional sport background and a cushy desk job that allows me to surf the web definitely indicates a child that will be unable to perform well in sports you are right.

Sad to want to give your child the best possible life with as many advantages as you can provide?

So you just woke up and chose violence? Perhaps one of the most useless comments I have ever read, thanks for the invaluable input.

My fiancee really doesn’t understand why I want to plan to have our child earlier in the year. I seen the effects first hand playing competitive sports at a young age.

Thank god something I can show my fiancée. She really doesn’t understand it. I by no means need to have my next child in January but I just won’t plan to have a late year baby.. for girls it’s not much of an issue, but it makes a difference for boys early in life and sports.

Only thing we’re constructing up here in Canada is overpriced homes.

Another dumb assumption to make.. no one said he found all these balls on one course or during 1 round. He found 51 balls total - the fact he found the most expensive/premium ball the most in a sport that is expensive by nature is no surprise. Odds are not even 2 of those 7 belong to the same person.

There is probably a 0 percent chance all the V1x's belong to the same person... what a stupid thing to say.

Glad that worked out for you, being a parent is a wonderful thing. (My first is 7 months old). Genetics will always play a major part but that I can’t control (not some gene editing nut job) but if you have genetics as a December baby to outgrow and outperform everyone else your age, just imagine that same kid as a January baby. It’s really just a preference thing and it’s a small thing I can control to help tip the odds in my child’s favour in this difficult world.
