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

All these years, I mixed up Friday and Saturday meanings! That makes me loving and giving which I suppose I am. I prefer it to working hard for a living!

I was born on a Friday - and how accurate and true the poem has turned out for me.

I've just looked up DH's dob. He's also a Friday's child. And it seems true for him too. He's full of love, and also very giving.

The giving has had it's down side for both of us though - people have taken us for a 'ride' so I'm really trying to toughen up now!

Darn it, used to know, and those of my children.
But seems to be yet another thing that has disappeared from my brain.

I'm a Wednesday's child, but my mother always said I was born on a Thursday. Can't decide whether she wanted to inspire me to have ambition, or whether she was mixing me up with one of my siblings - I am the fourth of five!

Sunday, 02:00. And I don't live up to the Sundays child thing! ??
And the small hospital I was born in is now a pub, in Corbridge, Northumberland.

I was born on an Easter Sunday :-)

I'm a Monday's child, but it should have been a Tuesday 2 months later. Wish I was still fair of face.

Another here who is bonny, blithe, good and gay (Sunday) as is my oldest son. My middle son is Saturday’s child - appropriate for him as he has always worked hard for a living. My daughter is Monday’s child and she is definitely fair of face in my unbiased opinion! My husband is Thursday’s child and it is definitely true for him as he grew up on the other side of the world. I have a lovely set of Royal Worcester figurines with a boy and girl for each day of the week based on this old rhyme.

I’m ‘Friday's child is loving and giving’, I hope that’s accurate like to think I am ?

Sunday. My sisters were at church and Sunday school, the midwife was tipsy , I was breach and Mum delivered me on her own . Those were the days !

From being a child i always believed i was born on a wednesday but i have just googled my birth date and it was actually a saturday

I am a Tuesday child and should be full of grace. There's probably no-one less graceful than me.

Mummer Tue 08-Mar-22 17:17:50

Thursday and it's not true!!

Polly4t42 Tue 08-Mar-22 17:01:23

My parents were engaged on Whit Sunday, married on Whit Saturday and I was born on Whit Monday. Obviously not in the same year or even the same month. I leave it up to others to say if I am and or was fair of face.

HillyN Tue 08-Mar-22 16:59:51

I'm a Wednesday's child but I've always felt quite happy and contented. Someone I know is a right moaner but was born on a Sunday. I've always thought that the 'far to go' description of a Thursday's child meant they would go far in the sense of high achievement.

Saturdays child works hard for a living.
www.thefreedictionary.com › Saturday's+Child
Saturday's child is restless and could get quite frustrated if things take too long to happen, so needs to be encouraged to make targets reachable, and not to make comparisons with what everyone else is achieving, because success, when it comes, will happen because of all he or she is, not despite it.
This is so true for me.

BBbevan Tue 08-Mar-22 16:23:08

Yes Monday.

Magrithea Tue 08-Mar-22 16:22:31

I didn't know until I could check online calendars as I was adopted so my Mum (the Mum who raised me) didn't know or didn't tell me. I am a Tuesday's child though not sure how graceful or holy I am!

Lilyflower Tue 08-Mar-22 15:58:15

Of the four members of my immediate family, three of us are Thursday's children. I have certainly come a long way from where I started in life. The youngest is a Monday's child and, as for being fair of face, there is no other face I'd rather see.

homefarm Tue 08-Mar-22 15:57:29

Yes, a Friday

Nannina Tue 08-Mar-22 15:41:49

Sunday- a lot to live up to ?

Sue450 Tue 08-Mar-22 14:30:48

I know what day my children were born on. My daughter was a Saturday at 6pm and as the poem she does work hard for her living.
My son was born on a Friday and as the poem said he is loving and giving. Well he was he died in 2007.
I don’t know my birthdate as I am 76 and can’t remember what I had for tea last night ?

libra10 Tue 08-Mar-22 14:20:00

Just googled it, and I was born on Monday 'fair of face'.

I'll take that!

WoodLane7 Tue 08-Mar-22 14:00:57

I’m a Sunday child

nipsmum Tue 08-Mar-22 13:58:36

I have just discovered I was born on a Friday.
