I am very bad. Last month I missed 3 friends birthday. I did not wish them on that day and had to say belated happy Birthday. I hate to say this but everytime I forget to wish on time. I have made a list of birthdates and every month see that list as to whom I need to wish on which date but still forget that day to wish. Do you find it hard to remember birthdates of friends and family. Would love to hear the ways to remember birthday......

Wow! It is so funny that I have come to this discussion. Today is my bestfriend's birthday and I had it written down on the calendar. I was reading something on the internet this morning about what someone was saying about their bestfriend. Then I remembered today was my bestfriend's birthday, so I ran to call them. I do not have a lot of friends so it is a little easiser for me even though I almost forgot today.

I also find it hard remembering birthdays. I guess I just have a hard time remembering dates in general. Like when I was in school, I hated history for those so many dates you need to remember. I am really bad at it.

I don't intend to remember my friend's birthday, and I don't want them to remember mine. But it usually end up with my friend remind me of their birthdays, and no one else remember mine besides my parents.

Sometimes. Although I know their birthdays, it's hard to recall and greet them the exact date of their birthday. Due to busy schedule of work, I sometimes forget to greet them on time. But I say sorry and I tell them why I am late to greet. It's good that they understand...

HI! I also forget dates of special events like birth dates of my friends and families. I am a very forgetful person and sometimes, i really hate myself for being like this. Just last month, my childhood friend invited me for her wedding and i missed to attend the event because i forgot the date of her special occasion. What i do was to ask for forgiveness or greet them even if its late. Like what they said, its better late than never so i am like that often times. Now, i have a much better way of remembering my loved one's special day by storing the dates in my cellphone, i got a reminder's tune on the date i stored in it on my cellphone, so i get to remind myself everytime there's a special dates that coming each and every day. Good luck!

Thats not good, try to remember dates, I feel good when someone wishes me on some occasions and think that others will feel same so its important to wish others as well. Thanks for the response.

i'm proud to say that i remember my friends' birthday 95% of the time! sometimes though i get a day late, but i am fully aware when their exact birthdays are. there was one when i confused my anniv date and her birthday, i thought hers was the day before (coz she always celebrates the day after)! after that it was never repeated. cheers and happy mylotting!

dont feel bad. almost everybody misses their friends' birthdays and its no one's fault. you cant actually remember all the dates they were born coz not everyone is gifted with a memory that can easily recall everything. so dont feel sad. i, for one, forget to greet my loved one's birthday but it doesnt mean you care less.

Friends and loved ones will totally understand. A great belated gift is just as good. In my family, we see it as your birthday month, not just the day.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think I seldom forget the birthday of my friends, I just usually remember the birthday of my friends in a note book. When some birthdays of my friends are coming, I think I will first take the note book out to check out whose's birthday is just around the corner. Then I will be ready for his birthday. Have a nice day.

Sometimes I do, but I will greet her/him the following day and apologize for late greetings. My friends are understanding if I forgot their birthdays because all of us are very busy with our lives, and I don't really mind either if they were the one who forgot my birthday.
