Does your husband remember important dates? - like anniversaries, bdays etc...

~~*Missi*~~ wrote: Ok yesterday was the day 4 years ago that Chris proposed to me.... well i was waiting for him to say something and etc... never did. So I said gee hubby what is today. What did you do like four years ago today... He didn't know. He said that if he remembers that date he is going to forget the birthday or anniversary.
I really only expect him to remember our wedding day our birthdays and the day he proposed how hard is that
ahhhhh ARGH MEN!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Lol... I never remember it. I know what day it was - November 9th 2002 - but probably the only reason I remember the exact date was because it was the night of one of my good friends wedding. Neither one of us ever thinks of it when it comes around... that's ok with me as long as he remembers our wedding anniversary!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: SARA!!!!

That is exactly how I remember ours! July 19, 1997. The day his cousin got married. He proposed to me when I caught her bouquet.

And no, he rarely remembers the date. Ha. I just asked him and he can't think of it. He said July 20th.

But, he'd never forget our anniversary or my b-day. He looks forward to those.

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Lol too funny!! What a sweet way to propose, too.

I just asked Scott if he remembered and he said it was either the 9th or the 19th of Nov. Lol good enough!

~~*Missi*~~ replied: i just don't get it I think i am going thru a WEEPY period because it never bothered me til this year LOL
I think what PO'd me was the comment of "its not that important of a day"
I WAS LIKE WHAT... I think that is what set me off cause its like hello with out that day we wouldn't have gotten married! its kinda important

Plus we started dating January 8th 2002
engaged march 15 2002
and married aug 17 2002

so i can't see how its that hard they are so CLOSE

redchief replied: Sorry... But I don't remember what day I proposed to Lisa. If it were a holiday or another day like Valentine's Day, I might remember it. To me, the day I proposed isn't nearly as important as the day we wed.

Oh, and we both forgot our second anniversary. I remembered it on the way home from a fishing trip with my dad. I called on the cell phone as soon as I realized what day it was. I said, "I'm so sorry I forgot our anniversary!"

Lisa said, "That's today?"

Historical dates are somewhat important, but how you're treated every day is, to me, so much more important.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I do not expect Chris to remember the proposal date, either. I really could care less, although he does the remembering of the wedding dates, and birthdays- again I could care less about them. I only know our proposal date since it was 1yr to the day we had our vow ceremony.

Crystalina replied: Yeah, we don't acknowledge the proposal either. My DH can't forget any other important dates because my MIL reminds him days in advance. She will call and just bring up the fact that , " Oh, what are you guys doing for your anniversary in 2 days", or " Is Crystal getting anything special for her birthday that is next Friday?". I think she's afraid he'll forget and get bad DH points or something.

I also think she calls his cell and reminds him so I don't know.

redchief replied:
Hahah!!! I wish my mom had a steel trap mind like that!!!

~~*Missi*~~ replied: his mom wouldn't remind him she wants to forget!!! LOl we don't get along.

Shoot she is so mean to me him etc... she has to be reminded of HIS BIRTHDAY and its her only son oh wait ONLY CHILD

Brias3 replied: Ummmm, yeah...Bruce isn't so great on remembering always. He's usually really good about our anniversary and my birthday but I want to say that is from some "reminders" from other family members or hints around that time Secondly, he's not too awesome at remembering the kids birthdays. Usually mixes them up a bit and is like, Wait, no- that's Ryan's birthday....right??

OMG, the funniest thing, speaking of "forgetfulness"....the other day, I kid you not, I actually got a voicemail from him while I was in the shower and he was filling out some paperwork to turn in regarding our recent insurance switch. He actually asked me, "Hon, do we spell Aliyah with two l's or one?" I'm hoping that was a memory lapse??????

luvmykids replied:
Mine does that too! He asks me every single time how we spell Kylie!! You'd think since he's the one who named her he would know! And then, every single time, he scratches his head and says "Why did we spell it like that?"

Anyway, neither of us remembers the exact date he proposed, I just remember him waking me up and babbling and acting weird and telling me to brush my teeth. I was like, What? It was so he could kiss me after I said yes, I guess!

But we do remember when we met, but only because it was on Valentines Day. And we remember a lot of weird little things, like what one of us was wearing on a certain date or what we ate on a certain date.

And he would never remember our anniversary or my bday if I didn't remind him. It used to bother me but doesn't anymore, it's nothing personal, his brain can only hold so much!

NEWMOM05 replied: Curtis couldn't forget, because I am constsntly reminding him when things are coming up. I think he would remember anyways. He teases that he doesn't know the date we got married, which bugs me. He knows though. He actually remembers his parent's ann. and has always reminded his dad to get his mom flowers and a card. My mil wouldn't have ever gotten anything except for Curtis telling him. His dad is super scatterbrained.

MamaJAM replied: DH is much better at remembering dates than I am. Don't get me wrong -- never ONCE have I had a hard time remembering one of the kids' b-days. But....DH and I were together 4 years before I started remembering when his b-day was (thankfully - MIL always called me around that time to ask what he wanted...so I never actually missed it). It wasn't until our 5th or 6th anniversary that I started remembering the actual date (we had originally planned to get married on Jan 30 - but the way things happened we got married on Jan 31.....took me years to get that straight). And - to this day - I ask DH every March when the anniversary of the day we met is (I just asked 2 days ago....it was April 9 - not too far away).

DH has never once forgotten an important date.....good thing one of us remembers.

My2Beauties replied: Well we don't celebrate that day per se, but it's easy to remember because Brian proposed to me on my birthday. Sometimes he'll say wasn't it on Valentine's Day and I'll say no it was my b'day, but I don't get mad about it, because he remembers every other special day! He's really good about b'days, anniversaries, mother's day, he even gave me something the first mother's day I was pregnant.

3xsthefun replied: I don't expect him remember the day he proposed. To be honest I don't really remember either. I know it was sometime in June after we found out I was pregnant with Kaitlynn.

He is pretty good about remembering birthdays & our anniversary.

Cece00 replied: My husband always forgets dates. He sucks with them. Actually, he has never forgotten a special occasion but, he'll ask me stuff like "Your birthday is April 9th, right?" Um, no, its the 8th. He's not too great with the kids birthday's either. I'm pretty good with dates & I usually remind him as stuff comes up, so I am fine with him not remembering everything.

I actually had my MIL (she is a total tool, btw ) HANG UP ON ME in January b/c neither I nor DH knew his other daughter's birthday (we dont get to spend a lot of time with her). We knew it was in the first wk of Jan & I called & said something to his mom about it being on the weekend and she was all "Her BIRTHDAY is tommorrow on the FIFTH!" like REALLY REALLY rudely to me. And then she hung up. Like I said, she is a tool & we have a lot of other problems with her anyway, maybe I shouldnt have been so shocked she was rude, but....whatever.

I mean I wanted to tell her "give me an effin break, my HUSBAND can barely remember MY birthday", he always has to ask to make sure he has the kids dates correct for their birthday (he always knows the month but gets the dates confused)! I dont get my panties in a bunch about it, there are bigger things in life to freak out over, IMO.

Although, he got a PDA & I think he entered all the dates into it b/c the other day he asked if out anniversary was on the 26th or 27th
