Today is my mom's birthday. Completely and totally forgot, my sister had to call and remind me. Now I have to call my mom at work and try to apologize.

This ever happen to any of you?

Funny today is my moms birthday too and i did not forget.

Not really, but I have trouble remembering when stuff like Mother's Day and Father's Day occur. When reminded, I know, but like right now I couldn't tell you on what days they are.

For a long time I had trouble remembering how old my parents are though.

Outlook is your friend. I set it to pop up a few days before any birthday or aniversery and i'm cushty.

Birthdays were never a big deal for my family, got a couple of gifts when I was a kid, but other then that they weren't celebrated. I don't even know when my mother's and my father's birthdays are. Hell, I even forgot my last birthday, only remembered it a week later filling out a taxt form.

The only birthday I know by heart is mine.
I can't remember birthdays. And if someone asks me a) when my mother is born and b) how old she is, I can only shrug (though I can pinpoint the month actually)...

On some things yes...but my rents would have rather large birthdays so I never forget their's.

Other relatives...all the time.

My mom's birthday is hard to forget, it's Halloween.

however I do tend to forget "Mother's Day"

Mothering Sunday is two weeks before Easter Sunday. Easy if you can just remember when the latter is...

In the US it's like the third week of may...

Any reason why, or is it just a Hallmark holiday? Coz over here it's tradition.

You know, it's hard to have traditions when your country is only like 200 years old.

Here in Australia, we have Mothers day, the Hall mark one, and the Anglican church still celebrates mothering Sunday, but only churches celebrate it.

That's just silly how many times do your mother's need to be told you love them?

And Hartman, you have Thanksgiving and Independance Day don't you?

Because one of our influential suffragettes petetioned and lobbied for it to be on her own mother's birthday.

Not only was the Lady In Question a West Virginian, but they still hold a large celebration in Grafton WV every year in rememberance.

Never really remembered it in the first place...so blah

It is not like my family celebrate birthdays or anything.

No because I am not, unlike you, a bastard.

You know AV everytime I see that quote I picture a guy with a chainsaw for a hand and a sawed off shotgun kicking alien ass, and groping ripley while spouting one liners....

Easy, the first Sunday after the first Full Moon after the Vernal Equinox.

Right.

So now I just need to keep track of the sun and the moon...
Oh bollocks to it. I'll tell my mother I love when Clintons tells me too.
