Are you good at remembering birthdayss?

Question

I’m not unless you are one of my main fam members or an ex I was once crazy into. My dad always texts me on his but I don’t even try to remember that. My HS friend/crush that I’ve been missing just gave me his number and he said “Every year its your birthday, I look for you on social media to say it to you but I can’t find you anywhere.” This shit bout made me tear up 🥲 I def don’t remember his bday lmao but the fact he remembered mine despite the 8 years yo  #FeelFreeToList

Not really. I input it in their contact info so it goes straight to my Google Calendar and I get a notification about it.

I also have a list on my phone of the important people.

Also, I bought my mom a board off Amazon that is specifically designed for this-important dates. It’s wooden and comes with chips-you write the date/person on the chip and clip it under the month (it’s a calendar board) and that way you don’t have to rewrite ALL those bdays/anniversaries each year on a paper calendar.
You can buy it off Etsy too.

I'm terrible with dates - heck I barely know what day of the week it is, what month we're in most of the time and I still get surprised it is 2023. Ask me what week we're in tho - and I'll tell you.

I was fortunate enough that my late fiance's birthday was 15th of February - the world told me when his birthday was closing up. I know my mother's birthday since that is a part of her "social security number" & I type that down a lot.

I do, but I can remember only so much. After sometime I do forget. That's when Facebook and Google Calendar comes in to the rescue. There are some which I can never forget - like my ex/ex-bestfriend (because we share the same birth date), @dploegjeexx (she quit g@g but has been one of the only few g@gers who kept in touch; also she shares her birthday with my favourite player... so...). Then there are the special dates, like my mum - 25th of December, my nephew - 1st January. Apart from those, probably not.

Yes, pretty good at remembering birthdays. Today is my niece's birthday she turned 22 her name is Carissa, I just wish her and my sister was closer to me. I talked to my sister in Foodland, and it went well, but my niece was cold towards me. I just wish we can bury the bridge and my dad is age 82 and in nursing home and I miss him lot I still love him and I miss my mom she passed away age 58 due to cancer.

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

I’m not great at it. …but I hate birthdays. I think it’s an horrific tradition to expect people to be ready to relive their birthday without any form of consent. I do my best to forget about my own—and I am not good at responding graciously if someone is gauche enough to bring it up. So, that may be part of the reason I tend to forget when my Aunt Anne’s birthday is.

Sarahr123 · Answer

Yes! I am good with dates. If someone tells me their birthday or I am there for the birth of a child then I will never forget it. Whether I am in touch with someone or not, on that date I will remember that “oh it is so-and-so’s birthday today”. So yes, I am good with remembering birthdays, anniversaries and all sorts of significant dates.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

I can remember months and the approximate day, but the exact day very rarely. I have 3 sisters and only know the exact date of 1. My parents have the same birthday and I can narrow it down to 3 days in December. But I'll be God damned if I don't remember my 4th grade crush birthday, April 12th. 🤷‍♂️

mstbooblover · Answer

Honestly I'm rather bad at remembering birthdays, and anyway, if an obligation, birthdays become more of a burden than an attention. I still do an effort for some particular people appreciating to be remembered from time to time.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I don’t know any birthday other than my own and maybe the guy I used to date. I don’t even know my cousins birthday, even though she spent hundreds buying me birthday gifts a few years ago.

comekitty · Answer

I am good at remembering birthdays of family, friends, and close work friends - and I usually try to have a birthday card and sometimes a birthday treat for their special day. 🙂

I usually put birthdays in my phone calendar with a reminder and then if I have the person's phone number I text them happy birthday if I can't see them face to face

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No, not unless I write it down.

With the exception of this one girl that I grew up with and had a crush on for many years. (We were actually friends IRL but I never told her that I liked her.)
But she's married now, so it's irrelevant.
