    I mean he JUST turned 18… I’ll give Trump that one… plus, I can’t remember how old my kid is either… Coming up on 28 here in a few months.

      Yeah, weird how the press jumps on petty shit like this and not stuff like what he’s actually planning to do if elected.

      The problem with Trump is not that he can’t remember one of his kids’ age.

      Is it harder or easier to remember their age when the birthday was less than two months ago. I feel like the 18th is also one of those birthdays where they emphasize the specific age a lot too.

      Unless you have Alzheimer’s, that only means you are not involved with your kid. I know exactly how old mine are and when their birthdays are and I’m normally not good with dates. The thing with birthdays is that the dates stay the same so there’s no excuse not to remember it.

        Personally, I don’t remember how the fuck old I am most of the time and I’m quickly approaching 40.

          Yep, whenever I need to know my own age I have to quickly calculate in my head to make sure I still have the correct age in my mind.

        My kid was tricky because of the date… I couldn’t remember if he was turning 18 on the 19th or 19 on the 18th. It was one of those…

        But that was 10 years ago now.

        My siblings and I are the closest we’ve ever been. I forget their ages constantly. I forget my age constantly. I love my parents. I never remember their ages and nearly every year I need to be reminded when their birthdays are. I barely remember my own birthday, usually I don’t even care unless my birthday is on a Friday or a weekend. Not everyone is you.

        Wow lol, did more reddit people migrate because assuming someone isn’t involved with their kid because they aren’t exactly like you is wild
