Ruth Davidson

[maggiebee]

Just heard that Ruth Davidson had given birth to a boy. The Scottish Conservative leader tweeted on Friday afternoon that she and her partner Jen Wilson named the child Finn Paul Davidson. He weighed 10lb 1.5oz. Not quite sure how I feel about this but wish wee Finn a long and happy life.

Okay.

I did... but I didn't imply that could only be a biological father.

Glad I had a Mum and a Dad.

[pixie374]

I had a mum and step dad. Probably the best combination imo.

[AuntLydia]

hereIam. You are very lucky. My paternal 'nana' was my female role model. I wished my mother dead from a very early age. Horrible to admit but true.

[hereIam]

I know I was lucky.

It is a shame that some people used a thread that really ought to have been about a piece of good news as a reason to grind personal axes.

And I notice that some skins have grown no thicker over the years....lol. xxx

[andy-hughes]

I am not, because I am never in a 'goading mood' as has been suggested, and jack is quite right, I have omitted to register my joy at the arrival of a baby into a loving family - I am absolutely sure how I feel about it!

[naomi24]

I'm lucky too, hereIam. Sad for children like AL.

[AuntLydia]

Seriously most people probably could not care a less about a couple they don't know and a new baby. The OP was surely just a platform to bring the gay bashers out.

[Rockrose]

My mother was an evil cow my father was is an absolute angel

[Spicerack]

Gay Bashers. That'd be anyone who doesn't celebrate all things gay, right?

[AuntLydia]

No it means those people who criticise others for being different. You do not have to 'celebrate' everything Gay, just 'Accept it'

[mushroom25]

//given birth to a boy.//

just to play devil's advocate - how do they know the child is male? has it self identified?

:-)

best wishes to the couple and their child.

[AuntLydia]

BA to Mushroom lol!

[Rockrose]

My step mother didn’t raise me she married my father when I was 34 but since then she has been a mother that I can go to to speak to and who nurtures me

[jackthehat]

///Gay Bashers. That'd be anyone who doesn't celebrate all things gay, right? ///

No. That would be people who insult and deinigrate gay people simply for being gay.

[Spicerack]

It's just I didn't notice any 'traditional' gay-bashing so I presumed there was a new definition.
I doubt maggie would consider me a bosom buddy but I don't think she'd start a thread just to 'bring the gay-bashers out'.

[AuntLydia]

Why add then // Not quite sure how I feel about this'?

[naomi24]

/I doubt maggie would consider me a bosom buddy but I don't think she'd start a thread just to 'bring the gay-bashers out'. //

Neither do I. More likely all things Scottish.
