Have you ever heard of this poem/nursery rhyme?
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace;
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go;
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living;
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.
I am a Friday child and DD was born on a Tuesday, DH doesn't know. Fits me and DD pretty well!
Does the poem fit you/your child?

I'm a Monday child, and I'm not pretty! So nope, not right for me.
DS is a Friday's child and he's definitely loving and giving!

LO was a Monday and I definitely think he's fair of face... 
but the rhyme doesn't work so well for DH and I. DH was a Wednesday and is definitely not full of woe and I really hope that I as Thursday's child do not have far to go.

I was a Thursday child, according to Siri! I'm not quite sure how to take "far to go", honestly... My daughter is s Friday child and it SO fits her!

I'm a Sunday's child and I would say I'm a pretty happy person. LO is a Monday's child and I sure think she's beautiful.

DS, DH, and myself are all Wednesday - I don't think any of us are particularly full of woe...
Also, did any one else see the title and get Lady Madonna stuck in their head immediately?

I'm a Thursday child, as is DD1, and I don't ever take 'far to go' as a negative. I've travelled around the world and lived abroad for many, many years, so I take 'far to go' to mean lots of big things to accomplish in this lifetime Places to go, experiences to have, sights to see....
DD2 is a Wednesday child and she is most definitely NOT full of woe! She's the happiest little girl and such a joy to be around...she should have been born on a Tuesday though so maybe that's why. She's meant to be full of grace!

@Autumnmama79: I was born on Saturday and yes. And fitting that my husband was born on a Saturday, too.
My lo was born on Monday and YES. Haha.

Oh, I literally finished a book that had this poem as the premise on Sunday! The poem was accurate for DH and I (and our LO was born on a Monday, and I'm sure I'm biased, but I would say he's definitely fair of face 
)
ETA: The book is Enchanted by Alethea Kontis - it was pretty cute!: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12180248-enchanted

I've never understood the Thursday one! That's when DS was born, but I don't know of the line is positive (long life, lots of turns in the road) or negative (needs to work on something, far from good).
