Sounds like a pretty awesome compliment to me. Congrats
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 a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

I think it all depends on the use of that device, often a totally closed book to the younger members of society, called 'punctuation'.
You ask for the meaning of 'FRIDAYS CHILD'. Now, to make sense, it would have to be punctuated and there are two possibilities.
In the form, 'FRIDAYS: CHILD', it could perhaps refer to some sort of menu and, on Fridays, it was 'child', but that would be a bit sick, wouldn't it?
If you wrote it 'FRIDAY'S CHILD', then that would mean a child of Friday, or a child born on Friday. This, I feel, is the most likely option.
As you've written it in your original question, it makes no sense at all.

John G. has really nailed down the possibilities. If Friday's child is caring and giving, it must be a girl and future mother.
