My first granddaughter was born on my 65th birthday.
My third granddaughter was born on my 69th birthday.
So far, that has proven to be unique among the people I know.

I had heard in the past that the odds are more like 1 in 28, but it could depend on radical variables right down to the region one lives. Plus, you have people that try to give a child a specific birthday (specifically New Year’s Day and Christmas) and that complicates the math even further. To add an interesting bit of reality… my birthday is Feb. 24th. Anyone else?

My Great Grandmother was born Feb 24th 1886 in Germany
My uncle Norbert was born Feb 24th 1941 in Germany
My mother was born Feb 24th 1950 in Germany
I was born Feb 24th 1972 in Oshawa Ont Canada :)

I have a question, hopefully someone here can answer. My wife and I have known each other for 14 years. Her birthday is on March 24th and mine is on August 4th. It didn’t take long for me to notice that our birthdays are on the same day of the week every year. Nearly a decade later I realized that the date we met (July 7th) and the date we got married (July 21st) also fall on the same day of the week as our birthdays. It get’s weirder. Our first child was born in 2016. He was scheduled to be born on my birthday (which is strange enough all by itself) and would also include him in our “day of the week” connection. He was born a little early. His birthday is July 28, so still his birthday lands on the same day of the week as ours. So it’s my wife’s birthday, my birthday, the day we met, the day we got married, and our son’s birthday. All of these events are on the exact same day of the week, every year. Could someone tell me the odds of something like this happening?

I wish to make a comment on birthday paradoxs
What are the chances of 2 people having the same date month and year of birth and those 2 people being born 1 female in the northern hemisphere and the other Male in the southern hemisphere
And those 2 people meeting quite by accident and starting a relationship ?

My daughter and I share the same birthday down to the minute.
My wife’s birthday is the 2 days before ours.
My daughter was late compared to her due date (due date would have put her in the day BETWEEN my wife and me)
I was premature by two months (yay crack baby) lol.
