Do You Hammer Dates Into Your Child's Head?

My jaw drops every time a peer tells me that their parent called to remind them that they missed their birthday or anniversary.

As a parent, I had my kids without anticipating any kind of payback ever. Do you care if your children keep tabs on your occasions?Source
