Pete in Lincs Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 We usually forget on alternating years. This year I remembered. But I swear that She is trying to permanently forget, 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treker_ed Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 That is something I cannot forget, coming 11 days after my birthday in September!!! Additionally, I have a rather good memory for dates and numbers, comes with being autistic. For example, I can remember my mum's and grandmas phone numbers from when I was a very small child, I'm now in my 50s so I'm going back to the early 1970s.... The wife's birthday is the date I started my RAF recruit training, so definitely not a date to forget!!😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karearea Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 In my 20s I had a girlfriend whose father once imparted the following wisdom: ‘You’re always in the excrement, it’s just the depth that varies’ 3 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harmsworth Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 My mum always used to send us a card, so that helped a lot as a reminder, but since she stopped (that 'not being alive' problem) we both have difficulty. Me: Isn't it our wedding anniversary today? She: Don't think so - I think it's tomorrow. (Pause). Or maybe yesterday? We're coming up to 44 years soon and thankfully we are both as bad at this as each other. Otherwise I'd be in permanent annual trouble. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Many years ago, I forgot her birthday, and she forgot mine. What makes it worse is that we were both born on the same day with ten hours between us (I'm the youngest and she hates it when I tell people that I'm her toyboy!!).

Admiral Puff Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Did that quite regularly (even though our wedding was eight years to the day after Dad died ...). As Karearea reminds us, only the depth varies ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Bunker Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Our wedding day was one week before my late wife's birthday. It made March a very expensive month, always with two presents to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig of the Week Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 My technique is, very casually remark near the time ... "oh, how many weeks left till your birthday?"... followed by "ah, what day of the week does it fall on this yeat then?".. If done skillfully this provides enough Intel to "remember" said birthday without arousing suspicion, for some reason I just can't seem to hold said date in my noggin 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, same with my autism... I can recall the minutiae of information on things, we have a little sign that we bought whilst on holiday in the US a few years ago "I don't need Google - my husband knows everything!" I can remember or recall even the smallest of facts if I have read it or heard about it! Can't always remember where I read it, but I do remember the information! Comes in handy for quizzes 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harmsworth Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I still (after six decades and some) have trouble remembering my little brother's birthday (he doesn't visit here so I'm safe). I know it's either 5th or 6th June and my dad's birthday was the other one of those. Each year, when I can't remember, I dig out dad's service record (teenage air gunner in Coastal Command) which I got from the RAF. I'm pretty confident that the RAF got dad's birthday right - so then I know my brother's birthday is the other one and send him a card. Then I forget it again. You'd think that with one of them being on D Day I'd remember. But no. I also knew my mother's birthday was near-ish to Easter - knowing that was completely useless of course.

Anniversary, property taxes, income taxes, birthday. Poor planning... Anniversary this year is easy as it's the same day as the eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cosby once said "I used to love it when my parents would get so angry they couldn't remember our names! 'Come here... you... you... What is your name? And you'd better tell me right because you live here and I'll find out!'" 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
