Is it really true that some people just ‘ can’t remember dates’? Very upset right now

My DD’s 6th birthday is coming up. I was gobsmacked today to be asked the date of her birthday by my exH (her dad!!). He know the month but not the day… Is this at all normal?! He always used to say he was bad with dates, and that’s the excuse he gave today, but SURELY you remember your own child’s birthday? I’m so upset with him.

My exH was and is a nightmare!…
I used to say ‘do you need to go in the card shop?’ … he’d say ‘is it someone’s birthday?’….
He never remembered the date of his parents birthdays, his brothers - no bodies… amazingly he ALWAYS managed to remember his one though and personally I find the ‘forgetfulness’ very convenient and selfish!
