AIBU to not remember my parents wedding anniversary?

[nuttyfruitcake]

Every year my mum makes a big thing about telling me it's their wedding anniversary. Which I obviously don't have on my radar. They usually go out somewhere, which is nice. I get the impression she wants a card from us and a big fanfare, but I just don't think it's something that needs my input. She tends say you seem to have forgotten, but it's our wedding anniversary tomorrow.

My parents were married a long time ( 10 years ) before having me and brother. They argue constantly and moan about each other, and I would say they are both quite miserable.

For context I'm not married, but have been married in the past. They never sent me a wedding anniversary card or even mentioned it. And I wouldn't have expected it at all. (And yes they did like my husband and didn't want us to spilt.)

I never do anything for my parents anniversary. They were married about 10 years before I was born too. I don't expect anyone else to do anything for my own wedding anniversary except for DH, I think it's between the couple.

Why ‘obviously’? I remember it just like I would a birthday

Someone you're related to's wedding day date? Really?

I think it's a bit weird that someone would give you an anniversary card. Who cares about it apart from the couple.

My DF died 4 years ago and they had got married on my DM's birthday. We try and take her out to help her take her mind off it and focus on the birthday bit.

We never marked it when he was alive, but if had been important to them we would have. Doing something which isn't important to me because it is important to someone I love is what family is about IMHO

@RainbowWaffles exactly

Someone you're related to's wedding day date? Really?

Yes I really don’t get the confusion here. I remember one date; I didn’t memorise the vows and the readings.

Wouldn’t have a clue when my parents anniversary is. My husband and I sometimes forget the date we got married too!
