Inspired by an MN thread, where the poster had gone her whole life thinking she was a Sunday child, because that's what her mother had told her, only to discover she was in actual fact a Monday child.
I just googled my dob and day and I'm Wednesday's child. Full of woe.
That's me stuffed then grin

I was born on a saturday......and have had to 'work hard for a living' all my life.
I have 'done' all my family and grandchildren.....

.The wednesday and full of woe is very apt for two daughters in law and one grandchild! ha ha

Monday and 'fair of face' - of course - but not so much these days!

Born on Friday 13th enough said about that.

Friday's child here and yes I am loving and giving. I'm a Cancerian who are also supposed to be loving and giving!

I'm a Friday child and I worked hard for a living for many years.

My mother always told me that I was born at 4 o’clock on a sunny Sunday afternoon, and as she put it, “just in time for a cup of tea and a scone.”

I’m full of woe. I arrived through the ‘sun roof’ a month early (but I still weighed in at 7.3lbs!)

Me and my twin were Easter Sunday babies . ??.

I'm a Tuesday child, but I don't think 'full of grace' means you're a ballet dancer. Grace also means 'blessed' and that seems to be true when I think of all the scrapes I've somehow survived.

Sabbath Day child here, and all true of course. wink

Tuesday.

Have never known what I weighed though. Mum was always vague about it. 6lb’ish I think.

Monday's Child by Colin McNaughton:
(Makes me smile)
Monday’s child is red and spotty,
Tuesday’s child wont use the potty.
Wednesday’s child wont go to bed,
Thursday’s child will not be fed.
Friday’s child breaks all his toys.
Saturday’s child makes an awful noise.
And the child that was born on the seventh day,
Is a pain in the neck like all the rest, OK.

I was born on a Saturday

I was born on a Tuesday! which is not what I am at all!

Franbern Mon 07-Mar-22 08:53:15

Friday 13th for me. Gemini.

One of my daughter's used castor oil to ensure ALL FOUR of her children were born on the last Sunday of the month!!!

My father and his twin sister were born in 1906. His parents forgot about registering the births, and being afraid of getting into trouble for this, when they registered them put their birth date exactly one month later than it was.

Thursday. I have far to go smile. I love travelling so I don't know if that is what it means.

Redhead56 Mon 07-Mar-22 08:57:29

Tuesday child

paddyann54 Mon 07-Mar-22 09:10:26

Mondays child here ,all my sisters were born on Sunday ,and that started a long list of things that I did differently from the rest starting with a different priest who baptised me on the Sunday after I was born...the others all had the same wee Italian/Irish priest

JackyB Mon 07-Mar-22 09:15:13

Sunday.

I am sure all my boys are Sunday children. One was actually born on a Sunday, one was born on 1 November which is always a Bank holiday here, and one was born on a Friday but he was induced and still took all day to come. I am convinced he was holding out for Sunday whereas the hospital staff were in a hurry to get away for the weekend.

M0nica Mon 07-Mar-22 09:26:00

I do not know about people fiddling dates for tax reasons, but i do remember that DS was a fortnight overdue and I was taken into hospital on a Saturday morning to be induced and by Monday evening he was still quite happy where he was, although I was getting a bit fed up, when I suddenly realised that if he wasn't born until Tuesday I would get another weeks maternity benefit and decided that after all the trouble he was causing, he could at least hold on where he was until midnight had passed so that I would get the extra cash.

He did and so did I.

Wednesday
Full of woe. Yes that's definitely me. Pessimistic and miserable.

timetogo2016 Mon 07-Mar-22 10:09:31

I was born on a Thurday at 4,20pm,and i`m going nowhere soon and not far either.

henetha Mon 07-Mar-22 10:12:49

Amazing! I reached the age of 84 without ever knowing or wondering what day of the week I was born! And along comes this thread, so I googled my birth date and now know I was born on a Monday. Thank you snowberryZ

eazybee Mon 07-Mar-22 10:26:40

Friday's child, as is my son, and obviously we both are.
My daughter is a Sunday child, and obviously she is perfect in every way.

Callistemon21 Mon 07-Mar-22 10:36:45

I'm a Sunday child and it was not just any old Sunday, it was a Whit Sunday and pouring with rain, apparently.

ninathenana Mon 07-Mar-22 10:52:40

I just Googled it. It was a Tuesday, I had no idea
