Are you the forgetful type? Do you forget important dates?

Sad to say, my memory has deteriorated when I had my second baby. I can remember faces really well but sometimes I forget names. Worse, I forget important dates like birthdays etc. So to help me remember, I always mark the calendars and also put a note in my cellphone. Good thing we have Facebook coz at least we are being reminded about birthdays. It's embarrassing sometimes but what can I do? How about you?

Yes. I am so forgetful. Every month I forgot our monthsarry and my boyfriend hated me for that. He is the one who keeps on reminding me that it is our monthsarry.. So good I don't forget our anniversary and his birthday. I also tend to forget places, movies and names..

No, I am not forgetful. I usually note events in my mobile's organiser, so that there is an alert set for me just in case. never know when I might forget!

Hi Juryse, I am also having memory lapses at some point. Days before any special dates I would know it's coming but at times, I miss them on the exact dates. :( I also have kids, 3 infact but only 2 lived and are with me. I've had 2 D&Cs making that 5 shots of anaesthesia. Or maybe age is taking it's toll on me though I am not even 50. When at times I miss greeting a family, a relative or a friend, I just greet them belatedly and you are right, it's quite embarassing but that is part of life and much as we want, we may be busy on a lot of things and these things may be reasons why we sometimes miss important dates. Have a nice day!

Yes, I am absolutely horrible when it comes to this, and I always have been. I forget people's birthdays, mix their birthdays up with other people's... all kinds of stuff! But most of my friends and family are used to it by now, thank god!
