Do you remember your cousin's birthday

Oh... BIRTHDAYS...!!! I don't know why? But I just can NOT remember it!! Just can not. Cousin's birthday.. and that too unfamiliar ones!! I even can't remember the birthdays of my cousins who are familiar to me!! Not even my Best Friend's birthday, I don't know why but how much I try to remember her birthday I always forget it. This time she herself called and told me that her birthday is on 24th and she is taking me out and giving me a special treat. (I am really sorry dear) I don't like setting any reminders. I believe if you remember the date yourself ..then it gives the real feelings. Why set reminders. If you can't remember it then you can't that's it! But I even forget my Dad's Birthday!! I believe it is his fault only, he never told me the right date almost the half of my childhood and now he celebrates his birthday in two day two months.. One date is official and one is original.. But what different that can be to me .. I don't remember the both!! And at the end I only remember the birthdays of my mother and my only brother and that too because their birth dates fall in the same month as mine. My friends says that its really a blessing for me that I remember my own birthday at least.. phewww.. But there's one secret .. (once I got a tiny doubt on my own birth date!!!!)

remembering everyones b'day is just immpossible ....many a times it happens that i remember my cousins b'day till the day before their b'day and on the day of their b'day i forget it..hahhahah......i judt dont know why it happens but it happens....

If I forget a birthday I still send a belated birthday card so they know that I really didn't forget. Also, just a side note I use my Yahoo Calendar and you can put everyone's birthday's, appointments and so on and you can have it set an alert for 1 week in advance and every day I check my calendar and if I see the alert I stop right then and address a card and put it in the stuff to mail. That way I know that it got done. If its a close friend or family I will reset the reminder to alert me that day first thing in the morning so I remember to call the person or send them a text to say "Happy Birthday". Just my 2 cents.

Oh this post really resonated with me. My cousin's birthday was 11/12 and I got so caught up with things going on in my life that by the time that I remembered it, it was the 14th. I am very close to this particular cousin of mine and we are as close as sisters. She lives in a different state so I sent her a belated birthday card and flowers to make it up. As you get older, you will realize how important your family really is. Apologize and send a belated birthday card. At the beginning of 2009, record all birthdays on your 2009 calendar so that you do not forget.

hmm i remmeber some cousins b'days and i some i dont remember ..cause i have around 12 cousins and all of their b'day i cannot remember,,,so i use bday reminder in my mail..so that it will notify me 1 day before the b'day

its absolutely normal to forget a cousin's birthday. i never remember mine. thats why its good to be young and use myspace, facebook, etc... they keep up with those things for you.

A belated birthday card is good enough.These things happen and we can only sort it out as best we can.!!!!LOL!!!!

Hello Haoyijia, You're not the only one but at least, you know their birthday. Me, I don't know any of my cousins birthday. Even my other friends and relatives too. Maybe because, we are far from each other and not that close. Though some of them are listed in my calendar so I'll be reminded at once but not all. I guess, I better ask their birthdays when we have a reunion to start with. I guess you need to apologise if you're greeting them for the past years but if not, no need to do that.

I only know the birthdate for one of my cousins (out of three). And that's only because our birthdays are so close together--Feb 5 (his), and Feb 7 (mine). Made for some interesting family birthday's since my grandma and my aunt also had/have birthdays close the same time frame.

I usualy remember my cousins birthday . as its the party day so i never forget them

Hi buddies, I remember that my cousin birthday.My cousin invited me and my family members we were gone to that party we enjoyed a lot.All my relatives were came to my cousin party.I wished my cousin birthday.We enjoyed a dancing,singing and played some small games.After the party over we were return to my home.

hi haoyijia. i have 7 cousin. they are all very close to me. last year i almost forget one of my cousins birthday and my brother reminded me in the afternoon. i called and wished her .damn it was hard time explaning her why i wished her so late, while my brother called her 12am, that was such a pain. Since my cousins are close to me, If i forget one of my cousin's birthday i have to call them and say sorry and wish belated birthday. but as you say if im not fimilar with my cousins i would let it go with noticing it and wouldnt apoligise.

I don't remember all of my cousin's birthday too only those who are really close to me. I apologize with those who reacts when I forgot to greet them and to be sure to remind myself to greet them the following year. I have a short term memory about birthdays, so i have a birthday calendar and a reminder to help me remember all those occasions. :)

To be hones, I always forgot my cousins' birthday. I will remember them if my sister reminds me of those dates. I only know by heart my family member's birthday. Actually, this coming November 5 is my Father's birthday...I'll tell him to read this. Papa, Happy Birthday!I love You!

in such case its better late then never...so you can always say happy birthday a bit late. I however dont wish each of my cousins, only those close to me. I have 38 cousins and have no idea when their birtdays are. But for the people close to me I remember each birthday.

I have about 10 cousins.and friends i have is more than that.So it is reasonable for forgetting very frequently.I belive that your cousin also should have met with the same situation.Because he is also a human.Just apologise him/her.I know he will understand you.What I have done to avoid forgetting birtdays is use of a birthaday clander.Which automatically gernerate a email and send it to the relavant birthady boy or girl and also reminder to me.Even though usually I forget my cosin's birthday I never forget to wish him.

The only people whose birthdays I remember are my immediate family. I don't know any of my relatives birthdays. I wouldn't feel offended if they didn't send me a card or whatnot as I know they are all busy with their own lives. With the advent of facebook and myspace they will send reminders out to their friends so I can wish them a happy birthday online.
