Would you change your child\u2019s birthday if you could? That\u2019s exactly the question on one Aussie influencer\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n

Mum-of-three Indy Clinton<\/a> has made a name for herself online with her authentic parenting content\u2014 however this week a video posted by the influencer sparked heated debate between December babies.<\/p>\n

The social media star shared her plan to change her youngest child, Soul\u2019s birthday with her 2 million TikTok followers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy third child Soul, we\u2019ve decided to change her birthday to December 12,\u201d the influencer revealed.<\/p>\n

The 2-year-old was born on December 18<\/a>, just six days after the proposed new date.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was actually (born) too close to Christmas for my liking and I just thought, going forward she\u2019s never going to know we changed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenuinely I cannot think of a reason why this would be bad, I think it\u2019s really smart and nobody else has thought of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The clip was captioned with: \u201cIf you were born close to Christmas and your parents were never forward thinking like me, I\u2019m sorry\u201d.<\/p>\n

There is no legal way to change birthdates within Australia, meaning the switch would only be for celebratory purposes \u2014 but many still had strong opinions about Clinton\u2019s parenting choice.<\/p>\n

One viewer wrote it would cause logistical nightmares when Soul\u2019s older and has to fill out official forms, to which the influencer replied: \u201cWe will meet that crossroad when it comes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another commenter offered their personal perspective on the topic: \u201cMy mum did that to me, and I found out when I was 38 \u2014 I\u2019m now 72, please don\u2019t do it. I\u2019m still not over it!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to give her an identity crisis when she finds out her birthday isn\u2019t her birthday,\u201d a third comment said.<\/p>\n

Other December babies, however, were more understanding of Clinton\u2019s take and the pain that comes with combined \u201cbirth-mas\u201d celebrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone born December 22nd, PLEASE change it! Those darn combined presents will be the death of me,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why my parents never did this for me,\u201d another praised, while a third commenter wrote the idea was \u201cgenius\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is not the 28-year-old\u2019s first controversy this week, with the TikTokker forced to defend herself against claims she was high on illicit substances at the 2025 TikTok Awards.<\/a><\/p>\n
