DOB fail

[Nayeli_Sabia]

I am forever forgetting the DAY of my wedding... I remember the year(divisible by 5!), the month, but the day... I keep thinking it's 23 not 24... I know it's one of those two! I am always forgetting the year of my youngest... she was born mid-December, so the year changed quickly and I didn't have time to internalize it. (And that almost caused issues with air travel, when the airline lady almost put in the wrong year, and she would have no longer appeared eligible for the free 'child on lap' flying)

I met my wife about 2 weeks after my birthday so it took a long time to come around....but the funny part was that it took about 3 years before the rest of her family realized that I had never had one since we met....

When my husband and I got engaged, he picked out the 20th of May. Called his Mom and she says, "Do you remember that that's our anniversary?" He had completely forgotten that it was. Luckily, he always remembered both anniversary's after that.

First time Hubs proposed to me, it was the 5th of May. He later dumped me, over email (a fact I shall hang over his head for the rest of his life). He came crawling back a couple months after dumping me, and a few years later popped the question again....on the 5th of May.

I asked him later if he did that on purpose.
Hubs: "Uhhhh.......ummm...."
Me: "I just threw you a stick, and you could have run with it. Right now, that just landed in your lap."
Hubs: "Ooops. I mean, yes, of course I did that on purpose."
Me: "Too late."

So either way, our engagement anniversary was meant to be Cinco de Mayo.

And when you're angry, It's Ch***ada de Mayo...

And when you're angry, It's Ch***ada de Mayo...

That is one of my favorite words.

Same exact thing happened with me and my parents. I knew the month, and that the date was in the teens, but I didn't realize the date I had picked was the exact same one. Our choosing the date was purely about logistics and the time of year, though.

Just curious, but is the blanked out section something that belongs "in the pen" (automatic censoring software didn't want to insult people from Peking), or is it the name of an online bank - where the uncensored word would (in Spanish) be an offensive term for an activity that results in something that looks like "mayo" (i.e. white and creamy)?

How long have you been reading my posts?

The mayo jar is never empty...

By that, I gather that the missing three characters are "ing", not "ink".

My dad hasn't been able to remember my birthday for 38 years.

My Mom is notorious for getting the year wrong for me. I was born in 1969, not 1968 as it states in her divorce papers from Dad.

My husband doesn't know his parents and brothers birthdays nor does he know his parent's wedding anniversary and nieces and nephews birthdays. Which is very unhelpful when I was trying to do his family's genealogy.

Last year my dad called me up freaking out cause he thought he missed his wedding annversary and that's why my mom was mad at him. Looked it up and he still had four days to go and mom was mad cause he'd made himself lunch. She's wierd that way.

Oh, my parents definitely know what day my birthday is... except for the ~2 weeks leading up to it...

Bless her heart, but my more out-going and social-butterfly of a sister has her birthday 11 days before mine. Her birthday is always such a huge celebration...

...on the flip-side, I have a long, looooong history of my birthdays being completely overlooked/forgotten within my family... some really lonely memories. I don't celebrate my birthday anymore, I don't even bother. I was out of town for it last year, and that worked out just fine. I'm planning on being out of town during it this year, as well.

Would like to note, however, that my sister always calls me on my birthday, which is sweet. She's really the only one who makes the effort every year

There's nothing more fun than it being your 14th birthday and having your mom come up to you saying "Here I forgot it was your birthday" and hand you a paperbag of socks - not new socks. IIRC I dumped the socks out on the couch, dropped the paperbag on the floor and left the house for a few hours. Yeah that didn't sting at all.

My birthday is in the middle of summer so it got forgotten a lot. My brothers birthdays are at the end and the beginning of the school year and my sister's is at Halloween so they were "easy" to remember.

My mom never remembers my bday. She always try to say my bday is Nov 22 or 23 every year. Has even gone as far to try and tell me I was wrong about my bday being on the 21st
