Not remembering childhood.

Hello Guys.
I don't know if this thread is gonna make any sense.
Somebody has added me on Facebook who lived near me when I was growing up, he was telling me a bit about what I used to be like when I was younger. It felt nice, in a way cos I don't really remember anything from my childhood. The few things I do remember are like having operations.
He seemed to be able to remember loads, he remembered that I had a hole in my heart, he also remembered that I used to climb trees and go on bike rides. (These are things that I don't remember) Obv I remember I had a hole in my heart, cos my mum told me.
I dunno if it's normal to not remember things from your childhood. I have spoken to my family about this and they have told me things but even with them telling me I can't actually remember for myself. It's quite frustrating.
I have thought about this for a while, but the conversation I have just had has made me think about it some more. Sorry if it's a pointless thread.
Just wondering if anybody else has been in this situation where they don't remember their childhood. Do you think it means you had a bad or good childhood? I don't know.
Thanks guys

And obv having operations. It's not normal I don't think.
i remember quite a lot of the shows i watched, but not what they were about
i remember enjoying mcdonalds a lot back then (well i still kind of enjoy it)
and i remember my first mental illness encounter... i was actually 9 when my mental illness journey started, so from their- my childhood, you could say, was taken from me
so yeah... i think i'd say i remember the important parts- but not details

don't worry too much about that, my memory is terrible- and i mean, like the worst
from really extreme things.. did i eat a meal tonight (sometimes i have 2) for the simple reason i can't remember it, to little things.. such as watching emmerdale, then during the break- forget if it's over or i'm about to watch it or what.
i'm going to start a thread about memory and mental health because i think it is an interesting topic
