  Yeah, my rather useless dad has always gotten it wrong by a few days since I was a teen

  Yes, though dementia is a very good excuse. Partner forgetting is a different bucket of fish.

    Lol my partner’s ADHD makes him forget the specific date and year, but he knows I’m in April because he is too 😂 he tries, and I know he feels terrible. I don’t fault him for it though, he’s forgotten his parents and siblings birthdays as well which cuts him up something harsh.

    I imagine it will resolve after his assessments and treatment, but even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t bother me personally.

    If my DAD forgot my birthday, though (barring medical reasons), I’d be VERY upset!

      I’m sure he has some sort of attention condition despite his assertions otherwise. One year just took the (lack of) cake: he started a new job that day, brought home Superannuation paperwork and asked me my birthdate to fill it out. I told him. About 10 minutes later the cogs turned over and an epic Oh SHIT was heard 😹

        Surely the ability to be able to tell that story now was a birthday present all by itself 😂

    Hmm yeah I guess it could be a bit like that. Ah well what can you do.
