do you know your parents' ages/birthdates?

Hot Sauce on a Stick · October 2010

I have to ask people all the time for their parents' dates of birth and it always shocks me how many people don't know. Do you know? Including the year? Sorry, no clicky poll from my phone...

Princessn678 · October 2010

I know there birthdays. I can get close to the year

amykins1283 · October 2010

Yup. I know both of their birthdates.

MomOfClaire · October 2010

Yes. My husband couldn't even guess his parents' birth dates, though.

jessknell · October 2010

I was raised by only my dad and I know his entire birthdate no problem. I couldn't even tell you what month my mom's birthday is in though.

myonetruelove · October 2010

My mom is 01.29.1955

My gma is 11.10-11.1922

Dad is 08.31.1958 and I don't even like him!

hfloistoocute · October 2010

I know both of their ages and birthdates. I even know my IL's ages and birthdates, and I'm pretty sure DH doesn't, haha!

DaisyGrl13 · October 2010

Yes Embarrassed That's my thing...I'm the date knower. Grandparents, parents, IL's cousins, second cousins, anniversaries...whatever for whom ever.

i.e today is some guy I graduated with's birthday I can't stand his whiney butt and haven't talked to him in over 7 years. But I still remember his birthday

12bailey18 · October 2010

Yes, I know but DH never can remember his parents. I always find it odd too.

FemmeNat01 · October 2010

I know my adoptive parents birthdate, year, and all of that jazz. I know how old my bio parents are but I can never remember their birth date...

Melly Mel · October 2010

Yes, I know. My parents were born in the same year...5 days apart.

MamatoJackson · October 2010

I know my Mom's because I like her. Dad's? Not so much.

ZTAsunshine · October 2010

Birthdays yes, years noper. To be honest, if I needed to know I would call my big brother. He knows those things.

cajungirl0717 · October 2010

Yep. And my siblings. And H's mom and siblings.

IrishBrideND · October 2010

some people reallty don't know how old their parents are? Really?

Or do they know, but they just can't do the math to figure out the year?

Not being snarky just surprised.

bobbyme · October 2010

I know them by heart.

grapeape73 · October 2010

It is hard to forget when your mom was born on Halloween, and my dad has a birthday the same month. They were born the same year, so it is also easy to remember.

Chelle0112 · October 2010

Yep. I've known them by heart for years. DH doesn't even remember what month his dad's birthday is in.

LoriZoo · October 2010

Yes for my parents, my in-laws and all my siblings and their SO's...along with my own and DH's!

KRISTA555 · October 2010

Yep. My dad was born in 1943 and my mom was born in 1944 (I won't say the exact dates)... I always think of them when I see documentaries about WW2 because it was going on @ the same time.

StrawberryAlarmClock · October 2010

These are adults you work with? Have they never gotten their parents a card or taken them out to dinner? Wow.

Jennicap · October 2010

I know the month and day but I have to do math for the year, I know how old they were when I was born so I just subtract to get the year.

Oh yeah and speaking for DH, his mothers birthday was the 1st, he asked me how old she was! I'm like WTF dude its YOUR mother I don't know how old she is I just know the date!

eitaknna9 · October 2010

Yes and yes. I don't know how people would not at least know the date.
