Do you guys not remember how old you are year to year? Are you frequently calculating your age from your birth year instead of just adding 1 to it on your birthday?
I always thought it was nuts that people don't remember, then I turned 30 and got married to someone who has a birthday less than a year before mine. Now I have two ages to remember (that are sometimes the same) and it takes a second for me to remember which is me when asked.
It's not about your age difference. It's just hitting 30. My wife is 5 years younger than me and I couldn't tell you how old either of us are
Yes! Preach! This is me too. And in addition to being poor at maths I'm also not articulate so I just end up looking goofy when trying to figure out which age is me.
This took me far too long to understand
That's exactly when I started having trouble remembering. 30 was a milestone, but now I have to think for a few seconds before answering.
I’m guessing you are younger than 40.
No, I'm mid-40's, but I usually don't forget my age. LOL. Although a couple of months ago someone asked how old I am and I said I was 10 years younger than I actually am. I didn't realize what I had done until the next day.
I find that the older I get, the less I discuss or think about my age throughout the year so it gets more difficult to remember. Also, my birthday is in January so it's over pretty quickly and I don't tend to think about it again while I'm busy thinking about my 4 kids birthdays that are coming up, instead!
I frequently forget, because I rarely need my age in my daily life.
Bra I don't know where I am let let alone how old I am
Explains why your app is garbage.
