At one point, I noticed that she has recorded his birth date incorrectly. She had written a day earlier than the actual date. When I pointed it out to her, she actually argued with me a bit. "Oh, no. I saw it written on his records as __/__/__." She even started shifting through papers to show it to me. Ummm, hello. I may not have given birth to him, but I do know when he was born. I am acutely aware that I missed his first birthday and I am very sure of when that date was because I was thinking about him all day (we hadn't started the transition yet).
It turns out she found her paper and it listed the date I had told her. How about that.

You show 'em Mommy!
"I am acutely aware that I missed his first birthday." Wow, that's powerful. I had tears. ((((((hugs))))))
Your mama bear instinct is in full force...love it!!
Good for you, Karen!
That she thinks YOU would get that wrong is borderline offensive.
Good for showing her!
(my mom could not remember my brother's birthday for a couple years, something we tease her mercilessly for.)
Just proves that mother's instinct is not a biological phenomena.
