    The person will have life long issues.
    Anyplace from the DMV to an online job application.
    Your actual birthdate will get flagged as:
    Invalid.
    You will actually need to lie about your birthdate.
    Its a lifelong issue.

    You only age at 1/4th the amount of time as everyone else.

    There are no ramifications. Their birthday gets celebrated either on February 28th or March 1st.

    Do wait for them to become a certain age? Or just drop a newborn in a pond?

      So what did they do about his birthday? Socially and legally? Seeing as that seems to be what OP was asking...

        Oh, they basically just celebrated on the 28th of February for three years, and then on the 29th every fourth year. It's always been more of something to joke about than anything else. They never skipped his birthday.

            You know what's really weird is that I feel like I didn't know my paternal grandfather that well, but within the past few years my folks, and my late grandmother have called my attention to certain mannerisms, and habits I have that are supposedly just like him.

    It means you should have been aborted. Any mom cruel enough to give birth on feb 29 should be executed.

      You realize women dont have much control over when they give birth to their child.. she can't just stop the labor because of what day it is.. the only thing that she could possibly do is to change the date of birth (for the birth certificate) by a day

    You age the same as everyone else but get a quarter of the birthdays. That's it.

            Well yea.. the dad is born on the leap year.. so by what he is saying the dad is the 10 year old meaning he's actually 40 (had he not been born on the 29th Feb) if that makes sense?? Lol
