    Unless you have Alzheimer’s, that only means you are not involved with your kid. I know exactly how old mine are and when their birthdays are and I’m normally not good with dates. The thing with birthdays is that the dates stay the same so there’s no excuse not to remember it.

      My kid was tricky because of the date… I couldn’t remember if he was turning 18 on the 19th or 19 on the 18th. It was one of those…

      But that was 10 years ago now.

      My siblings and I are the closest we’ve ever been. I forget their ages constantly. I forget my age constantly. I love my parents. I never remember their ages and nearly every year I need to be reminded when their birthdays are. I barely remember my own birthday, usually I don’t even care unless my birthday is on a Friday or a weekend. Not everyone is you.
