Our parents are the most important people to us ,they give birth to us and bring up us.When I was very young,my father and mother bought many toys and snacks to me when it was my birthday,of course,they bought a cake,too.However,because of my ignorance,I wouldn't ask which day was my parents' birthday,I am so sorry for that .Now,I will buy a big cake when it is my parent' birthday.I should compensate for my ignorance when I was a child. It is never too late to know your parents' birthday. Do you know your parents' birthday?If not,please make sure you can remember next time.

I know very well even my father is gone. We always celebrated his birthday every 16th of the month of nov. And my mother's too Every 18th of may. My mother is still alive and she is now 86 years old. Until now we celebrate my fathers birthday not in home but in the cemetery. Unlike my mother we celebrated in our ancestors house. I love them both.

I do know both my parent's birthdays and either telephone them to wish them the best on that day or send them a gift. I don't think it is ever too late to ask them when is their birthday. Everyone loves to be recognized on that day even if with only a birthday card.

Yes, I know my parents birthday. How could I not? My dads birthdate is is July 9,1951. Mine is July 11th 1971. Oh and my grandfathers is July 1st 1931...how's that for knowing? And how cool is that 20 years apart and all in july? My mother s is April 16th 1952. My sisters bday is April 5th..easy to remember.

Yep I know both my parents birthdays and age. While some adult children do recall the date of their parents birth, they can't recall their exact age. The only confusion sometimes for me is with my brother and father birthdays, my father October 20th and my brother is October 21st, so sometimes I get the dates mixed up

I do know my parents birthday. When I was younger I could never remember their birthdays. I would have to be reminded. I won't ever forget it now.

Of course i know their birthdays...though i had known some friends who forgot their parents b-day..i mean had a hard time remembering the date and the year...maybe their parent dont celebrate their b-days anymore that in effect their children forget it as the time passes by...

Do you know your parents' birthday? Actually I do, both my parents share the same day for their birthday. They are both born on Groundhog's day, just four years apart. Each year, we ask them if they have seen their shadows, . I never had a over the top birthday party, and as I gotten older, my mom gets mine and my sister's birthday mixed up. She was born the day after mine, three years apart. My dad never saw birthdays as any importance, just getting a year older. Which could explain why he always forgot his and my moms birthday. Mom couldn't get upset, I mean if he forgot his, of course he forgot my mom's.

I actually like hearing my kids say Happy Mother's Day to me on Mother's day more than anything. It makes me feel really good about being their mom. They do wish me a Happy Birthday, I guess I'm like my dad, I see it as another day, mainly because I don't get any special treatment for it. My mom doesn't like a lot of people making a fuss over her birthday. She likes it when I call and before I say Happy Birthday, I will ask her if she saw her shadow.

[i]Hello simon611, Yes, I know my parents birthday. I remember it because I need the information when I am filling up some forms and it usually asked information about your parents and their birthday. When I was a kid I don't remember celebrating my birthday. I guess my parents are not into celebrating such occassions and so I don't remember anything about birthday celebration. Now we do celebrate it. My parents also has time to celebrate it with the family. It's good you are giving back to your parents the things they have done to you. Regards. [/i]

yes, i do remember my parents' birthday. and it was me who always initiate what to buy or where to bring them to eat with my siblings. my siblings will only think abt it after i suggested to them abt our parents' bday. perhaps they are not a parent yet..therefore do not understand that parents' also hope that children can remember their bday n celebrate with them. as i am a parent now too.. i too hope that my kids will remember my bday too :)

Yes, I do know my parents' birthdays. These are just two of the most important dates to remember. I agree with you. We, as children should know our parents' birthdays especially if we are already grown ups and have our jobs, it is our time to give them birthday parties and gifts like what they do for us.

when it comes to special occasions I always remember the dates of it. Now, nov. 2th, it's the 53rd birthday of my mom and tomorrow will be the birthday of my mom in-law, my plans? it depends upon receiving my budget this payday of my hubby, maybe I will give my mom extra cash because she's leaving now bound to bicol, her hometown and will be back by monday. for my mom in-law maybe i will buy a cake for her to greet her on her big day.

Yes I know their birthdays and I always make sure to get them a gift even if I'm broke I will at least give them a card to show I love them, if you ask me I would rather get a happy birthday than not getting anything at all

I grew up always going to a nearby barrio who is celebrating their fiesta on my father's birthday.No much celebration but we hear mass there in their chapel once a year on my father's day.On my mother's birthday we hear mass in Antipolo.I never asked them why because I always look forward for that day when I was young.Now that they are both gone,I miss those days.We still offer them mass on their birthday.

Aww, that's really nice. ^_^ It's not difficult for any child to remember their parents' birthdays, but it's a beautiful gesture and something that the parents will remember for the rest of their lives. =D I know my parents' birthdays - my mum is on February 9th and my dad is on May 11th. =D
