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 sis in law and bro in law share a birthday two years apart. My daughter shares her birthday with her Grandpa exactly 70 years apart. And I’m a twin 😆

DF and his DM had the same birthday (different years, obvs).

I used to teach a student whose brother was born on her birthday. She absolutely hated it.

In my family we have four birthdays in 3 days. My dc was born on my dad's birthday. My dad is a twin so my uncle is the 2nd. Then a couple of years later my nephew was born two days before my dc's birthday.

Interested in this thread?

I know someone who has two children and they were BOTH born on her birthday! Can you imagine? I'd be fuming Grin

Thats the same as me and my DSis, both born on Dad’s birthday, poor planning 😂

I know of two siblings who have 5 children between them all born in the same day-really weird.

My friend’s twins were born on her birthday

I also know someone who had twins in her birthday. A girl in my form at school was burn on her mum's birthday.

DM's family have a January birthday cluster.

Almost!

My 2nd and 3rd born are the 14th and 15th of March- 3 years apart. No3 was induced though, and I elected to do it the day after her bro's bday. She was born 7 mins to midnight so they were almost 2 days apart!

My husband and his sister are 2 days apart and 6 years.

Not the same day... but me, DH, our three children, sister in law, and my dad, are all less than two weeks apart, one after the other, spanning the three winter months. So 7 immediate family birthdays over 8 weeks with Christmas in the mix too. It's definitely an expensive, and busy, time of year...

I should have been induced the day before my eldest’s birthday and then my twins would likely have been born on his birthday - three kids with the same birthday!! I waited until the day after his birthday to be induced and three birthdays in three days is plenty!!

my nephew was born on my 7th birthday and my other nephew the day before our birthday. My other nephew born on MIL’s birthday and my niece on FIL’s.

that says more about the number of nieces and nephews I have than anything else though 🤣
