A tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying "I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!" with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying "this isn't how birthdays work"
Gross, they're making more of them.
It's kind of normal for families to celebrate month-birthdays of babies.
That's stupid and makes no sense.
I celebrate every occasion that the child's age doubles, starting from the first second.
Found the programmer.
To be fair, I wasn't trying to hide.
Curiosity triggered. Ignoring leap years because it only changes the days a little at the end:
Day doublings (8):
⬆️ 27 celebrations in first year of life | up to 7 celebrations past first year ⬇️
See? Much more sensible. You get loads of front-loaded precious moments, and then some very relevant milestones later on in life, only requiring about one third of the overall celebrations!
I celebrate every prime number.
I'll allow it.
Yeah but I didn't call my son's 8 months his "birthday" for exactly this reason
1 month old, 6 months old, 3 or 9 months old, maybe.. but eight? nah, mate. that ain't a thing.
take your every-month picture for the scrapbook. but 'celebrate' or party or to whore-out on social for fake likes? nope.
Its not a birthday if its not the day you were born. I can see celebrating it though.
Yeah, we took photos of the kids in the same chair each month in the first year. It wasn't like we had parties, but this is normal new baby stuff. Plenty of legitimate reasons to hate the Trumps. Dogpiling on them for shit like this is petty and reinforces the right-wing narrative that the attacks are personal.
I got plenty of personal attacks for them.
If I speak up too loudly my wife and son have to flee the country.
How's that? Have I earned it? DO YOU MFERS HEAR ME
That's a valid reason to attack them. Like, physically. Not that I'm suggesting or condoning violence, but they are coming for our freedom. They aren't doing it in tweets of baby pictures.
Look, I know you've been given enough downvotes so I won't add to them but this is just not true.
I have what most people would consider a metric fuck tonne of kids and I love the ever loving shit out of every one of them but never once have we celebrated their 8th month of existence.
None of my friends or family have ever done anything so utterly weird either.
It's just weird. So weird that I question the validity of the original post.
Maybe due to all of the accomplishments of the Cheeto king's administration life expectancy will be measured in months to hide the fact that our collective life expectancy has been drastically reduced. When you got studies coming out saying that the poorest European lives about as long as the richest American, well you know you got a problem.
Never fails to amaze me how out of touch with reality they are.
and stupid. Don't forget stupid.
Maybe this is like Tesla's odometers, but for birthdays?
I think it's rather common around me to throw a tiny celebration each months on the first year. A treat and a small message to the family never hurts 🤷
Plus, 8 months is super round, it's a power of two and 2/3 of a year ☝️🤓
