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

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

Grannybags Mon 07-Mar-22 08:30:10

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

Born on Friday 13th enough said about that.

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

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

Just checked on the rest of the family and the poem seems spot on!

Yes Wednesday

I was born on a Thursday, but I haven’t been very far, unless you count Australia.
I sent off for my Mums birth certificate to find that her Birthday was actually on the 15th May and not the 13th as she had been brought up to believe, I guess being the youngest of 12 someone got the dates wrong……..

I don’t know what time I was born and as it was in Pakistan, five hours ahead, it could be Tuesday or Wednesday, I’ll go for Tuesday!

tanith Mon 07-Mar-22 08:18:55

Tuesday for me I wish I was full of ‘grace’ but sadly not. 2 of my children also born on Tuesday.

Pittcity Mon 07-Mar-22 08:17:49

I'm a graceful Tuesday girl!

Witzend Mon 07-Mar-22 08:12:57

Tuesday, but I’m afraid the ‘grace’ bit passed me by.

My Dbro was a ‘Sabbath Day’ and was certainly bonny and blithe - and a little devil when he was small!

Didn’t look it, though - next door’s French au pair said that when she first saw him ‘I thought it was ‘un ange’!
Oh how elder sister and I laughed!

Kim19 Mon 07-Mar-22 08:03:49

Thursday for me. Far to go? Can't wait! Anywhere with a bit of warm sunshine would be fine.

NannyJan53 Mon 07-Mar-22 08:03:07

I too was born on a Sunday. I am bonny and good, but not gay!

I’m a Mondays child. Born in the depths of the terrible winter 1963. Mum can remember the day perfectly.

Casdon Mon 07-Mar-22 08:00:28

I’m a Friday’s child - not feeling very loving and giving this morning though as the dog was howling at 4am to go out so I had to get up.

EkwaNimitee Mon 07-Mar-22 07:58:54

Sunday for me too. I could agree with bonny but probably not blithe or gay, and my mother would have firmly disagreed with good!

Georgesgran Mon 07-Mar-22 07:58:42

DD1 and I are both woeful Pisceans (apparently). DD2 is a Sunday child - very bonny too.

GrandmaSeaDragon Mon 07-Mar-22 07:57:16

I was born on Easter Day, so always known. Always thought I was an Easter chick or bunny! My 21st fell on Good Friday.

Patsy70 Mon 07-Mar-22 07:56:49

I’m a Sunday’s child, born at 6am in my Mum & Dad’s bed nearly 75 years ago!

MawtheMerrier Mon 07-Mar-22 07:55:01

I’m a Saturday’s child too and always had to work hard for a living - or indeed anything!

harrigran Mon 07-Mar-22 07:51:29

Yes, I was born on a Sunday as was my elder sister, younger sister was born on a Monday.
My mother used to quote the little verse to us so I always knew that as a child born on the sabbath I was ' bonny and blithe and good and gay ' grin

Marydoll Mon 07-Mar-22 07:50:55

I was a Saturday child and it is very accurate! ?
