Do you know what day of the week you were born on?

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 Thursday. I had to look it up and when I did I looked up my immediate family (including my GC) . I discovered that we all were either born on a Thursday or a Sunday . The spooky bit is that so far the only members of my immediate members of my family to die, which where my parents and my brother, all died on a Sunday. I know it is just a coincidence but spooky all the same.

Wednesday 13th. Had my 13th birthday on Friday 13th. It was an ok year believe it or not! Others not so great but that’s another story. ?

Thursday

Davida1968 Tue 08-Mar-22 11:47:49

I'm a Thursday. I had a decent career, but during my lifetime I decided that (for me) the "far to go" is because my family (& DH's family) all live a long way away...

I'm a Thursday child. In fact myself and my 3 siblings were all born on a Thursday all 2 weeks before our due date!
Just currently wondering how far is far ????

Tuesday and very lacking in grace! I was 13 on Friday the 13th though. I am 75 on Friday the 13th this year and I am quite disappointed as 76 digits added together would have been 13.

Wednesday, but woe is not me.

I’m a Tuesday but definitely not full of grace.
I wouldn’t have thought that it was possible to fiddle the date of the birth for tax reasons but when DD2 was born we definitely planned to have this baby well before April 5th so that we would get the best refund possible. I didn’t become pregnant as quickly as I’d expected but she was due towards the end of March and I just seemed to get bigger and bigger. I went into labour late on the 4th April but she waited and waited until early evening on the 5th before she was born. Ironically by this time DH had already been very ill for a couple of months, his salary had gone down to a very basic one and there wasn’t any tax to be refunded for us that year anyway.

Sunday, I checked.

I'm a Wednesday and full of woe is about right. I'm not a glum type of person, just had a bit of a tough life, so woe aplenty sadly. sad
Still, could be much worse of course!

I was born on a Monday. Can't say I'm "fair of face" though. I used to be many, many years ago. Husband on a Friday.

avitorl Mon 07-Mar-22 14:55:19

Wednesday for me.My mother always mentioned it if I was having a"melt down".

grandMattie Mon 07-Mar-22 12:55:45

snowberry, I thought Wednesday’s child feared no foe!

I’m a Thursday*s child as is DH and two AC. The third was Tuesday’s child - full of grace, but sadly died last year, probably still full of grace.

Thursday. My children were born on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday

Helen657 Mon 07-Mar-22 12:51:09

Tuesday for me, and a less graceful person you are unlikely to meet! ?? I trip over my own feet all the time!

HowVeryDareYou Mon 07-Mar-22 12:47:30

Friday, apparently

Grandma70s Mon 07-Mar-22 12:26:16

I was a Saturday child, but I can’t claim to have worked all that hard, except perhaps academically in the past.

One son was Thursday but hasn’t travelled far, the other was Sunday and has most of those virtues most of the time.

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 07-Mar-22 12:15:08

I was born on a Thursday so I have 'far to go' and I take this to mean that I must strive to achieve which was coincidently the school motto. It feels like I'm forever on the cusp of great things but never quite get there.

Dear late husband was born on a Saturday and he certainly 'worked hard for a living' - much good it did him, I'm rather cynical this morning.

I was born on a Wednesday, a home birth. My Dad always said my brother wouldn’t come and see me as he was busy watching Crackerjack. When he told the story people said it can’t be true as Crackerjack was always on a Friday. He ordered a newspaper with TV listings for January 1956 to prove it was on a Wednesday. I still have it somewhere.

Yammy Mon 07-Mar-22 12:05:39

If my birthday is right I was born on a Tuesday. Though I was born through the night at home and due to haemorrhaging my mother had to be rushed into hospital, my father was never sure which side of midnight it was but chose my birthday as the numbers made a pattern easy to remember!!!!
It probably was the next day, I am certainly not full of grace and have had quite a few woes in my life.grin

JaneJudge Mon 07-Mar-22 12:02:17

Poor Thursday's child, where is he off to?

crazyH Mon 07-Mar-22 12:00:08

Oh yes MiniMoon - forgot about my bff Alexa.

MiniMoon Mon 07-Mar-22 11:49:18

CrazyH just Google the date or as Alexa.

MiniMoon Mon 07-Mar-22 11:48:16

I'm a Tuesday's child, but full of grace I am not.
Awkward dancer, more athletic in my youth than graceful.
Grace from God is a different matter entirely, I try hard.
