Answers:
Of course you have selectivememory, we all do. I would suspect by the way that it is more of an attention thing then a memory thing. We pay attention to what matters to us, we can't possibly pay attention to everything, and if we did we'd have ADHD. Anyway, if there are things you want to rember but can't, write them down. And if things are important to your family, try to pay attention, and get them to make sure you are paying attention (for real) before they tell you important things that you need to remember.
