In our life, there have a lot of dates that we are forced to remember, no matter you like it or not. When you are young, you need to remember
1. Your own birthday
2. Parents birthday x 2
3. Sibling birthday x 2 (if you have 2 siblings)
When you grow up and in relationship, you need to add in
4. your lover’s birthday x 1
5. Valentine day x 1
When you got married, you ought to extend your list to include
6. Wedding anniversary x 1
7. Your parents in law birthday x 2
8. Your children birthday x 2 (if you have 2 kids)
The list has not come to end yet, some forgetful person that can’t remember their own parents’ birthday created Mother’s day and Father’s day for the world to celebrate, these two dates have been commercialized by the public, places like hotel, restaurant, souvenir shop, bakery shop, radio & TV broadcast have big time promotion, no way for you to pretend forgetful.
9. Mother’s day x 2
10. Father’s day x 2
Haha… based on the above, assume that you have 2 siblings, 2 children, parents & parents in law, the total celebration per year is 16 days, meaning that you need to prepare 16 gifts / treats for your beloved. Hmmmm…. That excludes Christmas gift or festive gift, well, well, beside wallet bleeds, your head will crack searching for gift and remembering it.

I programmed it into my phone. Should I lose my phone then..... :(
Ha ha, so many dates to remember, most of the time I also forgot my own birthday until the day passed by....LOL!
i won't forget my kids' and my husband's birthday..
I never remember these all ;p
Perhaps I'm too lazy... :D
Just mentally take those dates as festivals to celebrate, will feel more into it..hahah
It's all programed onto the computer and an online calendar, otherwise I would probably forget Christmas.
Dear all, i wonder how you all cope, as for me, i feel tire, espcially Mother's day & father's day, where i have to run 4 dinners for celebration for my parents & PILaw. Tire is the word. There will be no own celebration for myself & hubby as parents :(
I dont remember my mum's birthday because she only wants to celebrate on her chinese date so I depend on my sister to remind me. :):) As for my children I cannot forget also because they will remind me well in advance.
Molly, good that you hv your sister & kids to remind you. kakaka... remind is one thing, but got to buy present is another thing...
