Smug Tindalls

^Use of the word ‘bint’ is not amusing - it’s derogatory and unacceptable^ is it really bad?
I know someone with that as a surname.

Yes imo and that of many online sources it is derogatory. You don’t really hear it much these days but I would say it sort of means ‘slag’. If anyone used it to me in RL I would be horrified.

He's a new dad with a baby son which is lovely. Too many miserable people on GN just now.

I'm delighted for their whole family. Lovely! I found his spontaneous enthusiasm decidedly pleasant.

I haven't seen him talking about it. I'm not really interested.
Of course there are those who are not as fortunate, but I don't think this is the time for comments about that.

EllanVannin, Blinko - I agree!

Gawd, there's some bitter old bints on here !

I think it safe to say the majority of GNs disagree with the OP!

that went well then ngaio1

Wow! What a nasty post, I obviously don’t see what you saw, I see a very happy father and husband, proud of his offspring , congratulations that’s what I say to them, nothing smug about it! Why shouldn’t he be proud!

Exactly.

What a distasteful comment Ngaio1. It must have been such a relief to Mike Tindall to know that mother and child were both safe and well, as it would be to any father irrespective of their circumstances.

And all boys

Nasty thread ngaiol what is wrong with some people well thankfully 99.9% on here just see them as new parents and a proud dad
Good luck to them
I m not a royalist just see a young couple who are happy just like the other two royal couples who have had babies recently All beautiful

Nasty comment. He is probably so happy and relieved to have a healthy child, after all the sadness of 2 miscarriages. If you can't say anything nice .....

What a mean post. Quite the antithesis of the other Tindall one. I don't see anything smug.

Smug ?Good grief.I saw the clip and he looks proud,elated and probably relieved.They have had two miscarriages.One late one.And as for quick deliveries and babies arriving unexpectedly at home as I know from experience -probably not in Sara's case as a third time mum - they can be traumatic in a different way to prolonged labours with a slower build up.

Smileless
I agree, I think it’s most unpleasant.

What an unpleasant OP.

It's good news as the safe delivery of a healthy baby always is.

But I can see people who aren’t as privileged, and perhaps didn’t have such happy and easy births, feeling resentful

Privilege didn't stop them going through 2 miscarriages. Which Zara didn't talk about for quite a while

She said for a time "you don't talk about it because it's too raw".

Also I had an horrendous birth with my first and third children. I almost died after a severe PPH with my first. Didn't see her for almost a fortnight.

Why that would make me resentful towards this family who've had a great experience?

Very peculiar attitude.

Don't hold back Chewbacca say how you feel

I'm just a happy soul----still got the dimples to prove, but don't have a fixed grin all the time.

Oh for heavens sake, can we not just be happy for them.

Glad to hear it Pantglas, crumpets an' all
