My wife’s birthday is the 7th. One of our daughters came a week or so early, and was born on the 7th. The other daughter came a week or so late, and was born on the 7th. (Three different months.)
The difference in my parents’ ages is nearly identical to the difference in my age and my only sibling - off by one day (944 days vs 943 days). For years we thought that my mother was born one day earlier (until she had to get a copy of her birth certificate for some reason), which would have made the differences identical.
Like Panache45, I have ancestors (further back than his) where the two widowed parents of a married couple married each other, thereby making their children step-siblings as well as spouses. I discovered this doing genealogical research while my mother was still alive, but I couldn’t understand how these two sets of people were married until she explained the situation to me.
I’m sure there are more, but one I think of often is that my oldest child was born on 7-16. My maternal grandmother (and her twin) were both on that day as well, so they shared a birthday. Unfortunately, we lost my grandmother when he was still very, very young (I believe before he was a year old).

This one is kind of lame but…
My mom was born in June, my dad was due to be born in June but was early and was born in late May.
My sister was also slightly early and born in late May, June due date. My brother bucked the trend by being a December birth.
I was born in June, my wife was born in June two days before my birthday.
Our son’s original due date was my birthday!, but he came really early and has a early May birthday.
None of this was intentional as far as I know, certainly wasn’t for our son.
EDIT:Oh yea my mom’s birthday is two days after mine.
Three of my grandparents died on April 5th, although not the same year. One was a stepgrandparent, but he was my real grandpa.
I’m born on my mothers birthday and my sister’s born on my mothers fathers birthday.
I know this is a zombie thread, but I’ll add to it anyway.
Both of my grandfathers shared a birthday (November 16th.) My grandmother (my dad’s mom) and my aunt (my mom’s sister) also shared a birthday (March 1st.)
For 4 years, my sister in law and I alternated having children (this was not planned). The last three years, each child was born in August, two with the same due date.
My niece, just born on 12/22 (:)) shared a due date with my oldest son- 12/27
The first name Jim is very common in my family on both sides, both by blood and marriage so it’s not just a family name.
My great great grandmother had twins, who died at birth. She then had another set, who lived. Among the whole of them, none had twins.
My grandmother then had twins, who died at birth. She then had another set, who lived (one is my mother). Among the whole of them, none had twins.
It’s now fallen to my generation to have twins (it skips a generation). Unfortunately, although the odds are better these days for the children to live, none of my cousins had twins, and I choose to be childfree. I still wonder, though.
Dec. 22 a grandfather died. 5 years later other grandfather dies. 5 years later grandma has a heart attack. Happily she lived but was getting weird.
A fun thing, us 5 cousins and 2 spouses were lined up for a photo and realized by age, oldest to youngest we are shortest to tallest.
Weird stat. dept. I know a family with 9 kids, all girls.
My brother and I each had a fiance’ (or fiancee’) die. These days, that’s pretty statistically unlikely.
My children were both born on a Thursday:
My son was born on 11/7
My daughter was born on 1/17
Both are 117. They were both 3 days overdue.
My sisters and I were all born on the 12th of the month. My brother’s birthday is July 4.
Four of my children (all odd numbered in the family) were born the day before the birthday of someone in the immediate family - my 3rd child was born the day before my 1st’s birthday, my 5th the day before my 3rd’s, my 7th the day before mine, and my 9th the day before my 8th’s.
Must run in the family - I was born the day before my grandmother’s birthday.
My wife and I are both the youngest in families of three with two girls and a boy (different birth order, obviously), raised in small river towns (Vermont for her, Ohio for me). Our dads are both lawyers born in the Midwest who married women from the greater NYC area.
My son was born on (what would have been) my grandmother’s 100th birthday.
Both my mother and my father each had a brother named Harold. And each of the Harolds married women named Betty.
And my father’s other brother, Richard, also married a woman named Betty.
I was born ten years and one day after my oldest sister. It would have been ten years exactly, but the doctor had to go out of town that day, and he told my mother to sit down and don’t move.
Within my family, including my parents, their kids, their kids’ spouses and their kids’ kids, there are 10 people, none of whom share the same birth month. That is statistically improbable, to say the least.
