‘Idiot’ dad slammed for trying to CHANGE his son’s birth date leaving his wife absolutely fuming
MANY of us are trying to put the year 2020 behind us, but one man has taken it way too far, wanting to change his baby’s date of birth.
To his wife’s fury, the man tried to tamper with their son’s time of birth, so that It looked like the baby was born on New Year’s day 2021.
After welcoming a bouncing baby boy on new years eve, less than an hour before midnight, the dad thought there was no harm in exaggerating how late the child arrived.
Asked to fill out a form after the birth, the man tampered with the time, changing it from 11:05 pm on December 31, 2020, to 12.05 on January 1st 2021.
His plan turned out to be flawed, however, when the nurse copped his indiscretion and refused to accept the fraudulent form.
Taking to Reddit to vent, the man said he felt like the nurse was overreacting.

“I told her she was making a huge deal of it. And that this was unfair to my son because he only lived in 2020 for just one hour.”
He added that he didn’t want his son associated with a “s*** year.”
“Adding 2021 would make more sense. I told her it didn’t matter and that it was better that way” said the dad.
According to Kidspot the nurse was unable to accept the document as it was ‘forgery.’

The man agreed to take “full responsibility” for whatever consequences would occur, but the form was taken off him.
The man told Reddit: “She lashed out at me and said that ‘this is not how it works’ adding that the form would now not be accepted for containing ‘false information. “
After a run-in with the nurse, the man got into another argument with the paediatrician.
“The paediatrician then disrespected me by raising his voice. I told them that I am the parent, I have the authority.”
Next in line to scold the man was his wife, who said he had caused her massive embarrassment.
“My wife said I embarrassed her by causing a scene and acting stupid and lashing out,” he said.
Adding: “My family heard about the issue and disagreed with me and said that I ruined their joy and caused my wife to be stressed out.
In the comments section of his post, people have argued with the dad saying that he was an “idiot” for what he did.
“His date and time of birth is a fact, not an opinion” commented one person.
Another added: “This feels like reading a toddler having a tantrum.”
“2020 was a rough year for everyone and I get that time is just a construct but let it be the best part of 2020” commented a third.
I told them that I am the parent, I have the authority.”
