If your birthday fell on February 29, would you celebrate non-leap years…

I had a friend who was 32 at the time and she'd only had 9 birthdays . That was like 15 years ago maybe, i think about her often every leap year for her birthday, she had just met a guy, got married, got pregnant, i mean she was on cloud 9 and then she found out she was HIV positive i cried like a baby when she told me. The baby was okay last I'd heard. She cut herself off from everyone after that. I pray that she, her husband, and the kids are doing well. I couldn't imagine

I think I would feel like the 29th is still there, just squeezed into a tiiiiiny crack between the 28th and 1st so to get the whole day I’d have to think of both as my birthday. Otherwise it wouldn’t feel even. The more I think about it, the more grateful I am I landed in September. 😄

I would do it on the 28th, to be "loyal" to my birthday month!

Or maybe, in years that are not leap years, I would figure that since the calendar was cheating me out of a birthday that year, I should celebrate on BOTH days!

Gilbert and Sullivan figured this very paradox out,but I forget what they concluded and am too tired to go delving into Pirates of Penzance lore to weigh in on this topic. Maybe later. I would have fun messing around with this loophole were it to involve my birthday,rest assured.

I would choose February 28, because I have a grandson and a nephew with birthdays on March 1.

I once asked that same question of someone who was born on a February 29 - he replied that he always opted for March 1 in non-Leap years.

I know 2 people with that birthday and they both celebrate on Mar.1st in non leap years.

I never celebrate my birthday so I'll just count my age by the end of February.

Interesting question. I don't know, lol.

I'd be happy to only celebrate once every four years.

March 1 because A: I hate Feb B:March is closer to spring and that's a happy thought.

I would celebrate on 29th and feel age neutral in between

I wonder how is handled legally as regards your age?

You could always use the Julian Calendar and consider your birth date to be Day 60 of the Year.

January 1st
It will save alot of money.
