Solution for birth date

When I limit the date ranges the calendar still starts at today's date. So for birth date with a +18 age limit people have to click at least 18 times on the back button and up to 100 times for older people.

When I choose a default value that's more or less in the middle (eg 1990/01/01) the calendar starts at that date but then when people don't enter anything in this required field it will take that entry 1990/01/01 as their answer.

I've tested some other date widgets but none of they seems suitable.

Is there a way to fix this so the calendar will start halfway instead of on today but WITHOUT counting that start date as an answer?
