What did you do?

I’m trying to go back 1 month from March and I get a really weird result. It goes from March 30th to March 2nd. I’m assuming it’s taking the number of days in February and subtracting that from March. It should take the number of days in March and subtract it.

What did you expect to see?

It should have been a date in February at least. Momentjs, not I don’t like javascript, sets it to February 28 which is a little weird but at least it’s February.

What did you see instead?

It set it to March 2nd.

Don’t forget to subtract more than 1 day if it’s March 29, 30, or 31.
