I have a six month old baby boy and people ask me his birthday and I either tell them the 6th or the 7th bc I honestly can't remember which day half the time!!! I literally was on the phone with the AG and had to search for his birth certificate so I didn't tell her the wrong day and then I'm completely embarrassed!

Ummm, I don't think it makes you a horrible person, just learn the date?

Rough birth?

maybe some vitamins or something to help memory...?

kinda funny, but a little odd. Not a bad person.

No doesn't make you a horrible person. I pause and have to think of my sons birthday so I get it right ( my dds has always been easy. 04-05-06.) but I know Ds birthdate by heart. Just stumble when asked. Just work on learning the date

hmmm not a bad person as such, but my kids birthdays are branded into my brain for the rest of my life! However, DH sometimes gets it wrong and I tease him lol. maybe write it down and go over it during the day to help memorise it :) good luck :) just keep saying the date over and over again and it will eventually get into your long term memory :)
