Question

I try my best to be perfect, but lately I forget things and it's starting to stress me out I'm 40 and have a set of twin boys (5yrs old) and twice I was out and forgot where I put my keys and could not get into my car..forgot the food was in the oven..forgot the tub was running with water but never forgot my boys..lol..do u know anyone who forgets things and what are the reasons ..can I be going through the change of life or is this normal..serious cause it's really freaking me out!!!

Answer 1

Yes, when I have too much to do all at the same time. So, it sounds like you're a typical mother of 5 year-old twin boys. I'm sure when they get older, it will pass - or not. Ha Ha.

Answer 2

old age maby?

u need a vacation

Answer 3

Hey, that's normal!  Stress can make it worse.  Having too much on your mind can, too.  And, yeh, there's something about that 40ish time where little things seem to slip a little easier.  Whether it's because of juggling more or age, who knows.

Answer 4

well 5 year old boys are distracting enough to make anyone forget simple things such as food cooking and where you put your keys. youre getting older and youre very preoccupied, its nothing to worry about  

Answer 5

It's probably just sleep deprivation or stress.... But just think, in 13 short years your boys will be old enough to move out. Maybe you can catch up then.  

Answer 6

I forget things when I am under a lot of stress or overburdened with too many things to remember. Still, see your doctor for a checkup and make sure you are ok.  

Answer 7

sounds like you're a bit stressed out. You have a busy life. Try to be organized. Always put your keys in the same place every time you come in the house. I have a key rack. Set the timer for the oven. Set a timer for the tub too.

Another suggestion is to take ginkgo biloba. It's a natural herb and you can get it in health food stores. It has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain.

Also, try not to be perfect--Just BE HERE NOW
