Mom Mortified To Realize She's Been Celebrating Her Young Son's Birthday On The Wrong Date

Mom Mortified To Realize She's Been Celebrating Her Young Son's Birthday On The Wrong Date

"Parent brain" is a very real phenomenon and Emily Vondy is here with evidence.

Normally when we hear stories about parents forgetting their children's birthdays, the parent plays the role of the villain. In Emily's case, though, she comes across as more of a sympathetic character.


She wasn't forgetting to celebrate her young son's birthday—she was just celebrating it on the wrong day. Somehow, she got the day she gave birth mixed up.

She didn't realize it until a billing issue for a doctor's visit caused confusion.

The insurance company had her son's birthday listed as February 25, but she had been celebrating it on February 26. Curious and with her phone already in her hand, she figured she would just scroll Facebook to look at his birth announcement.

Sooo ... turns out the insurance company was right.

To make matters worse, the kid in question is Emily's middle child.

Vondy is aware she's not doing much to battle the stereotype the middle child gets ignored.

Giphy

Middle kids of TikTok totally felt for her son.

But Emily was far from alone on this.

Apparently this sort of thing happens often?

The honest confession encouraged others to share their run-ins with the dreaded "parent brain."

So parents out there, cut yourselves some slack.

We can't say we've all gotten a birthday wrong—but who among us hasn't accidentally called one kid by a pet's name, totally forgot what grade the kid is in, etc...?

Parenting is hard and these young people—especially these pandemic babies—are just built different.

We need naps.

We deserve them.

We hope Emily got one.

Pete Hegseth's Staff Broke A Priceless Eisenhower Artifact After He Demanded To Have It In His Office—And Yep, That Tracks

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his staff members are facing heavy criticism after they tried to move former President Dwight D. Eisenhower's nearly 100-year-old globe into Hegseth's office instead of waiting for professionals, and ended up breaking it.

The globe needed to be handled with care because it is a remarkably delicate artifact that dates back to the 1930s and was used by Eisenhower during World War II.

Texas Conservatives Are Up In Arms After Receiving Pamphlets For Trans Teens—Except Republicans Are Behind It All

Texas Republicans have lashed out after receiving pamphlets for transgender teenagers about gender-affirming care even though the pamphlets' origins show that the call is very much coming from inside the house.

Although the pamphlets distributed at the start of Texas’s early voting period claim to come from the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), a legitimate organization, the materials are fraudulent, the group has confirmed.
