never?

if I start having to record that I'll start having to worry, any kind of
auto accident should be a significant enough and rare enough event that the
date stands out.

If you're like me, just because the event stands out in
your mind doesn't mean that you also remember the date it
happened ;-)

Right - when the doctor asks me the dates when I was in the hospital
etc., I can remember operations and childbirths and dh's heart attack
but not the dates of all my ER visits..

Although when I was coaching I used to have a problem with the
birthdates of the children on the swim team. Sometimes the moms with
multiple kids (over 2) didn't know. (The kids always knew of course.)
When I had the fourth one, I started to have that trouble too - I was
unsure of his actual birthdate for quite a long time. I could
remember the year and the month, but had a problem with the day. He's
36, and I think I have it down now.

But I never had a problem with figuring out who was doing what when.
By the time I was working, at least one child was driving, and mostly
they took care of it themselves. And before that we all mostly did
the same thing at the same time, with the little ones tagging along
with the bigger ones. Of course it helped that we did absolutely NO
team sports. NONE.

My dd#2 who has two children in two different levels of multiple team
sports and lessons and is an airline pilot so she doesn't work a
standard 9-5 schedule does use a kitchen calendar.
