Boris and Carrie baby number 4!

MayBee70

We could all continue to fall in love with other people when we’re married. Especially when we find someone young and attractive compared to our spouses of many years. It’s just that most people choose not to do so and loyalty prevails.

What do you suggest?

How about building some stocks, siting them in prominent positions and anybody who wants to divorce and remarry out in them for some good old public humiliation?

MayBee70 It is nothing to do with me or anyone else who people fall in love with.

If Carrie is Boris Johnson’s love of his life, I hope they and their families are happy.

What about the other child or is it children that he doesn’t even recognise !
I m neither jealous or nasty Jaberwok just find him a hard man to revere

Well I am a child who’s father went off with another women to another country.

I never resented him, my mother forgave him and married again.

MayBee70 holding on to resentment only damages the person holding onto it.

So do you condone that sort of behaviour. For what it’s worth there is no resentment in our extended family and we aren’t hanging onto grudges. Having said that I can’t help but feel for Johnson’s ex wife and the children from that marriage when they have salt rubbed into the wound by front page pictures like this.I don’t celebrate infidelity I’m afraid.

Well I think they're a lovely family and I certainly wish them well. Marina Wheeler was Boris' second wife, the first being Allegra Mostyn-Owen, (No children) who has since married again. His other children are grown up and were when Boris actually left Marina, so they were hardly affected in the way younger children can be. Who knows what goes wrong in other peoples marriages? Staying in an unhappy marriage for the sake of the children can be far more damaging than making a clean break. Some can be jealous and spiteful about another's happiness. Good luck to them and I hope they remain happy.

Every day is a school day on GN, so many of you know all about the relationship between Boris Johnson and his elder children, are you personal friends?

More likely you believe everything you read in the papers…

That’s the practicalities of it Monica he seems to want a football team perhaps he’s trying to prove something
Probably be much better if his first children had all had a decent time with him as a father

Oh for goodness sake,
A new child, and all some of you can do is carp, because her father is Boris Johnson. Reveals a very nasty side of your character.

No it doesn't. It merely puts this birth in the context of the father's life.+.

This baby is growing up in a family, where on one side they have 6 known half siblings, several well over 20 years older than them,

What will probably happen is that as Johnson crosses the bar between middle and old age - He is 60 now - with children young enough to be his grandchildren prattling at his knee. His four children of this marrriage will barely be aware that they have all these half siblings, just as those half siblings are barely aware they once had a father.

And as said in the opening post, at least it’s a proper picture of the new baby, not a hand, foot or back view, unlike some we could mention.

Yes indeed., That pretentiousness used to make me eye roll. If you’re only going to show a foot or hand, why bother?
I don’t care whether Boris is or isn’t liked, he has a beautiful baby by the look of it, and I say good luck to him and his family.

Spare a thought for the children of the family he abandoned in favour of the adulterous relationship with wife number 3.

Bet when he started the affair the last thing on his mind was planning another large family. I’m afraid that, having had a husband who left me after having an affair I have no forgiveness for someone that does the same. And that includes the woman who knowingly had an affair with a married man ( whose wife was ill at the time, too).

I don't think it it does to be honest. People saying I am sure he will be a good dad is not kindness. If in society we don't comment about men who hurt women and children then i think we encourage that behaviour. I don't care about his politics to be honest but I suppose I do care about pretence.

Lovely news.

Hear, hear!

I’m afraid I agree.

Although I am never likely to meet them, let alone know them, I wish the Johnson family well and I hope the are allowed to enjoy having a lovely new baby without media interference.

If they don’t want “media interference” they should stop constantly posting on social media, though her entire pregnancy was kept a complete secret.

Adapt or die. That has been true throughout the history of the world. (Sorry I am going off piste again)

Anyway here's to the new baby.

If they aren’t relying on anyone for their upkeep, more the merrier, I say.

*kjmpde
my comments are not about sour grapes due to politics, but in an overpopulated world , are we right to celebrate large families ?*

My thoughts exactly.

Not what I’ve heard, my friend who’s a teacher, said they might make redundancies at her school, due to low birth rate since Covid, they haven’t taken on a lot of infants.

or decreasing 🤣🤣🤣 ( although many older citizens including myself will be deceasing in the not that distant future )
