      The only ones who really care about time of birth are astrologists, because within astrology apparently the time you were born makes a difference.

      Mom is assuming that the only thing that would make OP care about when he was born is a girl who was into astrology, so she’s just skipping to the end of the conversation.

      The implication is OP is asking for what time they were born so a prospective date/gf can make them a “star chart,” or astrology write-up.

        Ahhh, here I was thinking the partner of mom saw this message come in, grabbed her phone and sent this. Implicating that the sender had been somehow harrassing her before, or something.

        Which didn’t make a whole lot of sense, but there you are.

      Took me a minute, but I’m guessing the mom is warning their child that any potential date or relationship with someone who believes woowoo about the significance of time of birth won’t be good for them.

      So I cannot tell of the other responses are real or shit responses so…

      The way I read it is the mom’s response is because she believes he is asking because depending on what time he turns 18, the girl he is with may be illegal to have sex with after that time. She says stay away from her because that would be a very bad situation.

      It’s his birthday and he met a girl who’s just a little too young for him, according to the half plus seven rule. But maybe his time of birth hasn’t come yet, so he could be a year young-

      No. She’s too young for him.

        Given that we are incessantly hearing about pedophilia on social media, at least here in the Fedi, something like this is kind of where I went first, too
