Seeing that my children's birthday (yes plural, twins) is the most important day in my life there's no way I could ever forget & I'm getting older with a failing memory. And to forget important people's birthday is disrespectful (it would be especially mean if I didn't remember my wife's birthday). I only celebrate birthdays & Halloween lol so there's really no reason to forget those dates... even with a failing memory...
Yea definitely, I was talking about less important birthdays, I also remember my nieces birthdays, and my most close family and friend, but not that cousin that you only see once every 2 years...
I agree there; there's no obligation to remember anything else about anyone, but I don't forget things on purpose nor try to control it. As much control as a person wants to have over their mind & body it probably takes more energy/effort to try & fully control what you do & don't remember. I let it happen naturally & for things I need to remember I don't mind needing a reference of some sort; notes, calendars, quick reference docs when it comes to programming etc...
Totally agree, I don't do this thoughtfully, It's subconscious, I thought It might have something to do with that!

I image so, it's not easy task, forgetting stuff!
