Um... that was yesterday

Nope, but I did once call my dad too early for his birthday. It's not that I forgot what his birthday was, it's that I got the actual date mixed up. In other words, I knew his birthday was the 24th, called on the 23rd thinking it was already the 24th.

Hi. 3SnuggleBunnies. My mother-in-law forgets my Birthday too. She keeps on forgetting what day it is in the month. Well, that was nice of her to call her son and wish him a Happy Birthday. My mil once forgot her oldest daughter's birthday. She did not know that it was her birthday until her daughter told her mom that I gave her a birthday card. I guess that kind of made my mil feel as if it was a shame that she could not even remember her own daughter's birthday. But that is alright, hopefully your mil won't forget her son's Birthday next year.

My ex husband rarely remembered my birthday, I think there was only 1 time when he did but it was a doozy--he flew my mom and sister in and surprised me! It was my 40th and that made it really special. He never remembered anyone's birthday, though, so it wasn't really an insult. At least your MIL remembered even if she was late!

That's pretty sad. You'd think the woman would know her own son's birthday. What's up with that.. is she losing it or something? Nothing like that has ever happened to me before. Though a few mmonths ago someone posted on my Facebook wall asking if it was my wedding anniversary. Now first off this person has known me my whole life and should remember when I got married.. second, my anniversary is posted on my Facebook information.. so that was kinda weird!

I don't know how old this lady is but this might be a sign that she is in need of medical evaluation. It is very unusual for a Mother to forget the birthdate of her son.

Is she getting old? Maybe you can just add that up to old age and forgetting. If she does this all the time, something is wrong... you aren't supposed to forget your son's birthday!

Personally I think this is only natural sometimes that people tend to forget, and even if she was a day late, it should be the thought that counts. I know myself sometimes life gets so busy with everything going on, it is hard to make sure and find the time to call everyone, or do everything on the days I really need to get something done. So unless it would have been like maybe a week later I would tend to not let one day worry you too much.

Thank goodness.....for the clock on my computer, it keeps me in touch with TIME...but to keep my life in check, I need a CALENDAR there, too! I get right OFF track sometimes...as there are times I have worked up to 63 days straight, without a day OFF (like now..23)and it seems to discombobulate one..and days/dates lose their importance. I hate to admit, to keep me on track...for special occasions, personal & otherwise, I belong to a site that has great reminders---else I would be in the same boat as your MIL! Tacky, eh...but it keeps me in good steed, with family and friends!

I hate to admit it but when I was younger {teenager} I always forgot my moms Birthday. When I told my mom I was getting married and told her the date she said "That's my Birthday". Now for the last 28 years I have never forgotten my moms Birthday

That's a little sad. She is forgetting things now. I have never forgotten a Birthday of my children but do have trouble remembering their wedding anniversaries

Sorry, I could not help it. It is good to know there are other people other than my in-laws who forget their children's birthday. Though the grandmother always remembers, my husband's mom never remembered. I don't really blame them, as my husband don't remember anyone's birthday (he sometimes forget his own birthday)

Hi there, I could understand if she thought it was the 26th when in fact it is the 27th but to not remember the exact date, hmm this is odd for a mother to do. Okay although not an excuse I can somewhat understand the dad not remembering as I know some like that but the mother is a new thing for me. Hopefully she is not getting Alzheimer or something like that, and hopefully it was just a one time event. It was only a day off, so I believe that is a good sign. Happy belated birthday to you hubby.

I guess your mother-in-law was already confused of the right dates. Maybe your hubby is not his only child, so i guess she gets the dates muddled up. In addition, maybe she's already older so she's like that already. What is important is that she remembered that it's your hubby's birthday.

I have noticed lately my dad thinks my birthday is on the 19th, but its the 18th. The past cpl years I have thought he has forgotten, but than he calls on the 19th. Took me two years to figure out. Hes not that old, but i guess old enough to get a cpl dates mixed up. I dont think of it to much. he still calls to wish me a Happy birthday, just a day late. The only thing is it saddens me to know somewhere in his brain of only 57 years he has mixed my birthday up. I love my Dad though and know he means no harm so i always say ty and now I know the 19th he will call. At least he has the month right.

I had a hard time for many years getting my dad's birthday right, because Mom got it mixed up once and I confused it with a friend's birthday as well. So, his birthday is the 24th, mom made a very elaborate cake once on the 19th, and then we had a friend who had a birthday on the 21st. Now I remember, because hubby's birthday is the 4th, so his is obviously the 24th.

lol. one year my then fiance (now hubby) forgot my birthday. needless to say that was the last one he forgot!

I suppose he is used to it though, right? Yes that has happened to me but I got used to it. I have great aunts that always send me a belated birthday card, though last year they were right on mark when it came to sending it I do believe.
