A mum has 'fessed up' to a mammoth parenting fail after realising she has been celebrating her son's birthday on the wrong date for years.
Emily Vondrachek shared the hilarious blunder in a video in an effort to give other parents a "real confidence boost".
In the TikTok video, Emily says: "Here's a little story to allow all the mums of littles out there to maybe feel a little better about yourselves, here's a real confidence boost for you (not for me).
"I just got off the phone with my paediatrician, she's trying to bill our last visit to our insurance company.
"Per my words, my son's birthday is the 26th. I am his mother, I know his birthday.
"The insurance company says no, his birthday is on the 25th.
"I was about to call up my insurance company to let them have it but I thought maybe I should scroll back on Facebook to look at the birth announcement years ago to make sure.
"I just got done doing that, and his birthday is indeed the 25th," she says, putting her head in her hands.
Emily posted pictures of her celebrating her son's previous birthday from Facebook, adding: "For two years I've been celebrating his birthday on the 26th!"
Since Emily uploaded it on her @thevondyfam TikTok this week, the funny video has been watched more than 1.6 million times - and it would seem she is not the only parent to have made this mistake, reports The Daily Star.
