No.. i don't remember the vast majority of my life, neither does anyone else.
What do we count as "don't remember"?
I get that we can't remember every detail of everything that's ever happened, but generally, I can remember what a typical day was like for pretty much every year I was alive (not counting the first few). A lot of those memories are repetitive or dull, so we kind of bunch them all together, but even things I've forgotten, if some one says remember when... I'll typically be able to recall some bits of the story.
My wife on the other hand literally couldn't tell you who most of her grade school teachers were because she's trauma blocked most of her childhood.
What do you count it as..
2000 through 2010 Was a great decade for my wife and I, I got out of the military in 2000. We got great jobs. We bought our first house. We moved into a wonderful neighborhood and we used to spend every Friday evenings at the neighborhood pool. It was 2 to 3 families we get together every Friday and hang out. I know we did it for about three years and minus a couple significant events.. When an umbrella fell in the pool when one of the kids cut his chin this Friday nights are just blurred to me, but I know they happened and I know they were great.
