Guess what he just asked me? What? Why i didn’t tell him something was happening at my place last Saturday, that he just heard from your babe. What did you say? I lied and said you guys gave me a surprise. Are you serious? Yep, later asked him how come he didn’t even remember ’twas my birthday? He said, he saved it in his organiser.
My principle is, if you have to specially remind anyone ’tis your birthday, then, such people need not be invited if you have a little get-together.
i concur
i hate it when friends or family forget the day you were born
busy?
oh but i gues they will celebrate a person’s memorial…….

I understand where you’re coming from. Regardless, because I am someone who finds it hard to remember birthdays (of close friends and confidants), I find it beneficial to have a reminder always…these people don’t remind me, I have automatic reminders sent to my email (lol). So suffice it to say that I have been in the shoes of this person, maybe a few times.

This is interesting…you know. My thoughts are that people lead quite busy stressful lives these days, more than ever before. So I wouldn’t be too peeved if someone forgot my birthday, seriously. I would delight in reminding them to attend. But that’s just me sha.

While i’m good with dates and always remember peoples birthdays/anniversaries sef…i realize not everyone is that way so i have let it stop bothering me…for the most part anyways. Altho i must admit that you are subconciously placed in a different category once you ‘commit that offense’

A lot of friends forget my birthday, worse is even my family. I have learnt not to bother myself with it, but I sure would not invite such people to my party.

I am with you here. There are just few exceptions –
Friends I have diagnosed with date amnesia.
Family I’ve diagnosed with date amnesia (alas, my Mom)
New friends who I’ve never shared a birthday with.
But that Organiser, PDA thing get as e be. If you tend to trust them with impt dates, you might just find yourself at loose ends if they get stolen, get brain damaged or suffer some acute depression.

I am very guilty of this, I dont remember people’s birthday and I honestly dont expect them to remember mine too. My birthday is not long after the new year and most people dont remember but I am fine with it.
The one person i expect to remember my birthday is my husband, if he doesnt which i know wont happen. The will be drama drama all week!!! His mantra is “Happy wife, Happy life”. So he remember always
No excuses for the man in your life.
