Let’s dive into a little personal tidbit—out of all my kids, only one was actually planned. We are incredibly fertile, and looking back, it’s a wonder I didn’t end up navigating college life with a baby in tow during my freshman year. Seriously, just the thought of a baby brings about the miracle of nine months, and suddenly, there’s a little one in my arms.
Okay, Jill, time to stop daydreaming about babies!
Let’s Talk Logistics
In the heat of the moment, who really thinks about birth control, birth dates, and spacing between children? If I had, I definitely wouldn’t have picked March as the month for conception. So I’m proposing we establish a National Abstinence Month every March. Why? Simple math: March conception leads to December babies, and, let’s be honest—December babies can be a bit challenging.
December Birthdays: A Double-Edged Sword
If you happen to be a December baby, don’t take it personally! It’s nothing against you, but the reality is a tad grim. Parents often find themselves merging birthday and holiday celebrations, which can lead to a bit of chaos. Who has the budget for an abundance of presents just days apart? And kids can get a little spoiled with all the holiday festivities already—adding a birthday to the mix just amplifies that.
As much as we want to make birthdays special, they often fade into the blur of the holiday season. And let’s not forget the struggles of hosting parties in the frigid cold! Dragging kids to birthday gatherings in winter is exhausting for everyone involved. The last thing anyone wants is a dozen children bouncing off the walls in a cramped space when it’s freezing outside.
A Call to Action
Thus, I urge you to consider this March, and for all the Mays to come, let’s spare future generations from the birthday blues that December brings. Tonight? Maybe just skip it—for the kids!
