He knows their birthdays, but not time of birth.
We have just one nephew who was born on our wedding anniversary, just after ds was born, so he remembers that.
He's VERY good at TV. He works shifts so is around a lot in the day, so watches/knows more about their TV than me.
He struggled with what day of the week they were born on.

How's that then?

notagrannyyet · 07/12/2006 21:27

Can I remember all 6 ?

04.17, 08.25, 15.12, 16.12, 05.05, 09.03. Might have 3 &4 in the wrong order. DH wouldn't know them all.

Nieces & nephews. I would have to look them up to be sure. DH not a clue!

Sport, doctor who, no probs there even for DH.

Tues, sun, tues, sun, tues,fri.....yes we both know that!

iota · 07/12/2006 21:28

dh won't forget ds2's birthday - it's the day before his own

cece · 07/12/2006 21:29
  1. Got the hour but not the minutes
  2. We don't have any so asked him my sister's bd. He got the month but not the day.
  3. Knew her house was blue but didn't know what Smarteenies was about.
  4. Knew the first one but was one day out with the second!

So he is vaguely paying attention!

iota · 07/12/2006 21:29

I can't remember waht time ds2 was born - but I was in surgery

Lio · 07/12/2006 21:33

Full marks here [proud emoticon]

hatwoman · 07/12/2006 21:33

dh beat me.
we both knew 1.
we both knew roughly the same re months and ages of the two on each side, iyswim,
3 we kind of skipped, but we'd both know as much cos the girls are going through a stage of watching awful shite neither of us can bare to watch.
4 dh knew I didn't

hatwoman · 07/12/2006 21:34

I think you should add a q

5 what part are they playing in the christmas play and what have they got to wear?

Nemoinapeartree · 07/12/2006 21:36
  1. he had no idea
2.not applicable
  1. knew fave programme and character names.
4.he says he hasnt got a clue and what difference does it make.

just asked him the dates of birth for both ds and dd...took him 5mins of thinking but he got it right..

iota · 07/12/2006 21:36

oh I know that one hatwoman

iota · 07/12/2006 21:36

DH had to take ds2 to A&E a few years ago. After he'd left it dawned on me that he wouldn't have a clue about his date of birth, doctor's name etc so I phoned ahead, described dh and ds2 and gave the receptionist the details.
He claims he remembered but he lies!

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 08/12/2006 20:22

I'm crap though, two cards arrived today, was about to open them thinking they were Christmas cards but noticed they said 11/12/06 on, took a full two minutes to remeber it was our (2nd) wedding anniversary on Mon .

Miaou · 08/12/2006 20:24

hahaha, I just had my booking in appt with midwife and dh was there - I not only had to rely on him for time kids were born, but also their weight and whether I had epidural, ventouse, episiotomy, etc etc! Plus he (and not I) was able to answer the question "when was your last smear test"

And I haven't a clue when nephew/nieces birthdays are, I'm rubbish at birthdays. Progs they like to watch - he definitely knows as much as I do. Day of the week kids were born - he can't remember but then neither can I!

HEIFERmerryxmasandhappyMOOyear · 08/12/2006 20:44
  1. 20 mins out so not bad
  2. knew his nephwews bday and age
  3. new eddie house is blue
  4. new day of the week, got wrong year

got her full name wrong..

much better than I expected...

TwinklingTinselAndTenaLady · 08/12/2006 20:50

only one he got was what time ds was born!

Sugarfree · 08/12/2006 21:07

Dh asked me the date this morning despite it being ds1's 13th birthday tomorrow!
1.He would know that they were all early afternoon(probably)but then I wouldn't know exactly without going and checking.
2.He wouldn't have a clue.
3.Hmmmm.I doubt it.
4.Ds1 was a Thursday and I think the other 2 were either Tuesday or Wednesday.If I don't know,I can't really expect him to can I?

Sugarfree · 08/12/2006 21:13

I hadn't read the rest of the thread before posting but I now see that Im not the only one in the Notquitegoodenoughmother's Corner
Ds2 and 3 were both born on Wednesdays,I just checked.

UnquietDad · 08/12/2006 21:42

I have no problem with 1. I was there, i saw it all, I know how we just sneaked in before midnight.

2 is fine for my own niece - I have trouble with DW's nieces/nephews but that's because she has too many of the little bu99ers.

I don't think 3 causes me any problems. I probably know more about CBeebies than DW would care to.

4 is easy too.

Is there an equivalent quiz for women? What brand is our lawnmower, what platform do we run our word-processing program on, what's the code for the burglar alarm, where do we keep the spirit-level ? Etc?

newgirl · 08/12/2006 22:00

deaconblue · 08/12/2006 22:15
