Do you know someone who shares a birthday with their sibling? (Not twins!)

Just wondering.
A friend of mine was born on her brother's birthday.
Another friend has her DC X number of years and one week apart (not quite the same!)

I wonder how common the exact same birthday is

My aunt and her sister have. My aunt is still bitter about her fifth birthday party being cancelled. She is almost 80.

Me, I share my birthday with my brother, he's 3yrs older than me. 18th & 21st was fun.

I've only ever got half a cake 😂

I share my non twin siblings birthday

LittleBumblebee3 · 19/06/2023 23:32

Me + 2 siblings born 2 years and 1 week apart. Oldest to youngest born 14th/21st/28th of the same month but in 1988/1990/1992.

I now have a DS born on DHs birthday. And DH was born on his dads birthday 😅

Not siblings but two of my cousins have the same birthday as our grandmother, who also died on that date.

Dugs2010 · 19/06/2023 23:34

Friend and her sister same day, 8 yrs apart. Other Friend is youngest of 3, all 3 born same date in July and each 3 yrs apart!

KnitMePurlMe · 19/06/2023 23:35

Friend with two boys born exactly 4 years apart - they have a cousin who shares a birthday with them too.

Worked with someone years ago who had two sets of twins - born 2 years and 1 day apart 😳 and one week before Christmas! December was an expensive month 😄

UndercoverCop · 19/06/2023 23:35

DB and I not quite but almost, if he was born 8 minutes earlier we'd share a birthday. 2 year age gap, I was six weeks early he was nearly a week late so our birthdays shouldn't have been that close at all

Beaniebeemer · 19/06/2023 23:36

Yes, my Dad and his eldest sister are born on the same day 13 years apart

QuinnofHearts · 19/06/2023 23:37

Yes! My husband and his elder brother, 4 years apart.

PuttingDownRoots · 19/06/2023 23:40

My friends eldest and youngest share a birthday.

My DD shares a birthday with her grandmother and I share one with a cousin

In our extended family there are three siblings that are a year, a month and a day apart (eg, 1/1/1990, 2/2/1991, 3/3/1992). Also a married couple with the same birthday but not year. My friend's first was born on her birthday and her second on her wedding anniversary.

Chasingsquirrels · 19/06/2023 23:44

My aunt & uncle (siblings) have the same summer birthday, born 13y apart.

Said uncle's 2 sons are 2y apart, 3 days between their birthdays.

My brother & I are 4y apart, 10 days between our birthdays.

I was born on my Grandma's birthday, and above aunt married on my 6th birthday.

blor · 19/06/2023 23:50

I have the same birthday as my brother and my cousin

PoppyLicious13 · 19/06/2023 23:57

My aunt, uncle and cousin (all the same family) all have the same birthday

babycham79 · 19/06/2023 23:57

Two of my brothers were born on the same day but three years apart!

XelaM · 19/06/2023 23:58

Yes. My colleague had two girls on the exact same date but two years apart.

My mum was born on her dad's birthday.

Parkandpicnic · 19/06/2023 23:59

Know quite a few examples of this among friends and relatives

Tequilamakesmehappy · 20/06/2023 00:06

Not siblings but my daughter was born on my neices birthday, same date as my brother-in-law and a nephew on my husbands side..and they are all left handed. Totally fascinating to me as they are all so similar in personality as well.

Enko · 20/06/2023 00:12

Stepdad and his youngest sister are born same day 17 years apart. As a child I recall them saying "Happy birthday" "tnx same to you" with much hilarity.

I have a friend whose son shares her birthday and their daughter their dad's birthday (and middle child shared with grandma mat side( that has to be pretty rare.

Enko · 20/06/2023 00:13

7 years apart not 17*

ShowsLikeThese · 20/06/2023 00:16

I know a family with grandparent, parent and child sharing a birthday!
