Show me the DH who remembers his own parents' anniversary or gets a birthday present for his sister and you can laugh. It is a shit ton to keep track of, and essential for a happy family.[/quote]

My husband does.   I have no idea when his mom's birthday is, other than October.  He's always done that.   And I keep track of my side of the family.  I'd be concerned if a man DIDN'T know (or care enough) to honor the birthdays of his immediate family.  [/quote]

I've let my DH fail or succeed at doing gifts / cards for his parents birthdays/christmas/anniversary. If they don't get anything, I don't worry.  But the reason he does it is because I initially said, what are you getting  your parents for Christmas, putting it in his hands. So birthdays, he calls. But may not get the anything. Which is fine. But neices and nephews on his  side I do, because otherwise, they wouldn't get anything for birthdays/Christmas from us, because my DH has never ever initiated that sort of gift giving. He doesn't even buy our own kids birthday gifts. And Mothers Day/ Father's day I take care of as well, because he's not going to, and like the neices/nephews, it is a fairness thing. Might as well.

But if he doesn't? I don't care. It is a reflection on him, not me. DH couldn't remember my birthday for years. Who cares. I just remind him and he eventually learned it.
