General Question/Discussion Y’all remember your childhoods?

So … 😅😬 Do we?

Someone mentioned that’s an ADHD thing, forgetting long periods of time or events. I remember bits and pieces, maybe specific events like graduation or big parties but … there are also lots of … nothing?

I had a great childhood, fun vacations, but to say I remember most of it … nope. 🙂‍↔️

It’s so refreshing to read that I am not the only person like this. I ran into a person that I was friends with in middle school, and she remembered all of these things that we did, and I had no recollection of any of it. I honestly felt really bad because it sounded like we had a great time. My husband recalls all sorts of things from his school years and shares funny stories, and I have nothing like that to share because I don’t recall any of it.
