Hello mylotters
What will you do if you face with this situation?
A head of the family remembers and knows everything
happening in the world and surroundings.
But doesnot remember the dates connected with
the family members.Not even knows about the education history
of them. What would you do?
Happy mylotting

It is very irritation. Usually men does it compard to women. Women are good at remembering thinks and getting creative and interesting gifts on special days. One of my friends gives a reminder to her husband one week before her birthday every year. She doesn't want to be disappointed on the birthday and she is happy that her husband remembers the day at least due to the reminder.

Mostly men consider these "small" things less important. That is why they feel it is very stupid to remember such details. But on the other hand, women are very emotional and want their spouses also to remember each small detail. But alas, mene being men treat all these small details with contempt. For them bigger things require their attention and intelligence. :)

Shantha! What to do ? That is life for some people.THese heads worry only about things that they can change, be it the primeminister/chiefminister or infrastructure flaws etc.., One would get used to it I am sure.[if this is an old person she would have already been used to it. ;if she is young she will steel herself to get used to this.

Hi, thanks that you share my views in this regard.
It is really very irritating to see that important
days in our life go unoticed.But as you say it is
life. They will remember the date of birth of a certain president,
or how many centimeters of rainfall or the health of the President
of some caountry who happened to slip in the bathroom and
sprained his legs.Yes you are correct in saying that one gets used to
it as time goes by. Thanks for sharing your views

Hi!
I know what you mean. For example, a father in a family (a typical patriarchial setup) remembers when Lincoln was born but scratches his head when he tries to recollect when his only son/daughter was born! Right. I have met such people. They are not rare. Actually they feel it is not worth their time to remember such details. Anyway, the person whose birthday it is will surely remember. Right?
:) Interesting topic.

Yes most men are like this. They are much interested in worldly affairs. They think world is under their control and they are very much responsible for the world. Moreover they think that if they remember these things people will respect them as so intelligent and knowledgeable. But they forget that if they remember their childs or family members birthdays and give a little present or just a wish, family will be happy and they will love that person too. When asked about childs birthday and if dad says that he forgot it would be highly humiliating to the child.
