Boris and Carrie’s baby.

Sorry ann but I am free to comment on this- Johnson put the photo in the public arena for totally self serving reasons and I’m not going to ignore it if it’s brought up. . and the results of his sexual incontinence is not a neutral subject. There are plenty of things we can and do have neutral threads about - Johnson’s baby is not one of them

I agree annsixty The only conversations on offer seem to be ones full of animosity which have frankly become very tedious! Avoiding the News and Politics thread should enable less cconfrontational and more chatty conversation, but no, the venom always seems to follow, sadly.

It’s certainly true that Wilfred has the Johnson hair. I’ve no idea if he’s cute or not because I can only see his hair and that he looks long for his age. Carrie is obviously besotted and that’s how it should be. I wish him, and all other babies, a long and happy life, particularly those born during this awful pandemic, as Wilfred was.

Wilfred certainly has a wonderful head of hair, let's hope it's more manageable than his Daddy has.

Of course we can all disagree, but ridicule and name calling? surely we don't have to resort to that on a chat thread?!

Wasn't Britain at war for half of the 1940s EllanVannin hardly idyllic!

And for the other half of the forties, and most of the fifties, serious food and housing shortages. And the cold war always in the background, as well as other hot wars, May have been idyllic to children then, not very much for many of the adults.

Oh, those rose coloured spects.,

One of my DD had long hair and my DGD had such a lot of thick hair she had to have a haircut at 8 months old.
DGS was always very long, like a 3 month old at birth, now very tall but he didn't have much hair until he was about 18 months.

EllanVannin

It's possibly the fact that he appears to have a good head of hair for the age of him that makes him seem older. We're used to seeing babies of just under 3 months old with very little or no hair. He's long because his mum is too.

I just had a peek at the photo - he is long but his hair isn't exceptionally long or thick.

Hi Gransnet friends
I’m thinking of changing from a coffee pod machine to a Barrister machine just wondered if anyone else had changed and witch they preferred can’t make my mind up thought you lovely people would be able to help me

Kittylester lovely grandchildren, the little one is certainly tall for his age, lucky boy.

I am the OP of this thread and it is posters like SW who make me hesitate about starting new threads.
Let’s keep it it on point please.

Yes, a pity for posters to be so vicious on a thread about a child because they dislike the father.
But par for the course.

annsixty I haven't seen my DGS for months but he was a very long baby and I expect is towering over me now he's 12.

It might be better to start a new thread, Florry, as this one is about a baby

No, don't take the point annsixty*!

This is a thread in chat and surely there should be some areas of GN free from viciousness and venom?

Wow, he does look long. DGS5 is 4 weeks older and nowhere near that size, even though his dad’s 6’ 3”. I have to say that our baby’s got thicker hair though.

There’s a huge variation in the size of all my DGS. I did once comment to DH that if they’re ever called upon in future to be our pallbearers, we’re going to be heading down that aisle at a rare old slope.

I’ll be looking out for your thread, Florry, as we’re considering the same move.

Maggiemaybe You made me laugh.

Where's Meghan Markle when you need her?

The 'outraged brigade' must be getting out of practice.

Carrie looks glowing and a happy new Mum of a big baby but Boris looks more like Grandad than Dad. It would be nice to a picture of Boris hugging his child.
In comparison I've seen a couple of lovely informal pictures of Prince Charles hugging his grandchild (I think it was Louis).

My son was a long, long baby though under 8lbs. Body and legs that went on forever as they hauled him out!

All the newborn babygros had to go back and be swapped for 9 to 12 month old. Then they hung like sacks because he was so skinny. ?

I thought it was a very pleasant photograph and I was amazed at the amount of very thick blonde hair; babies usually have dark hair which rubs off then reappears as blonde.
Also quite pleased that there haven't been lots of photos of Boris hugging his baby because then he would have been accused of using him for publicity.
And good for you, Annsixty for not being intimidated.

I wish the family well, lovely head of hair. We have had several long babies in our family, two of them are over six foot now.

I’m looking forward to seeing pictures of baby Wilfred’s face although I can fully understand their need to preserve some privacy for him.

A lovely family picture and Boris couldn’t take his eyes off his son.

Lovely.

Lots of dads look more like grandads nowadays GrandmaMoira.

My 15 year old grandson said recently that the father of one of his friends was 70. I suppose that will be Boris when Wilf is that age.
