    But it is kinda miserable to rain on someone's parade.

    I agree with the spirit of your post but this ain't the place for his parade.

    He should be concentrating 100% on his partner and child while only looking away to inform his closest relatives and friends. Not trading comments with randomers on here.

    It's informational and emotional incontinence at it's worst.

    If that's the best thing likely to happen in your life, go ahead.

    Not the best thing obviously, top ten maybe but not the best.

    So can everyone start threads on their kids now?
    Don't ask me. I'm not a mod/admin.
    Or maybe even things they have done today that they are proud of?

    I pushed a hefty sh1te out this afternoon, a good two pounder I reckon, might start a thread on it.
    No skin off my nose if you do (poor analogy mind). Anyone who doesn't want to read it can ignore it.

    What's it's name? Do you now carry the pic around in your wallet and annoy strangers by telling them about your ballspawn? LOOK AT THEM!

    It is quite sad that people seem to be jealous of the OP.

    Where's the discussion in announcing you've had a child can I ask?, are some of us supposed to say "no you haven't!" just to create an argument?

    Haha hold on what have I got to be jealous of?

    That's a mental thing to say in fairness.

    Here's the thing you make a thread saying so and so is in labour...... Then u make another saying son is born.....

    To me that's saying I feel what's going on in my life is more important than most it needs the attention on here.

    I'm so jealous of the OP, I wish I had a child to look after and be responsible for for 18 years. Can't deal with the jealousy, it consumes me.

    Over a period of 11 hours he posted to this thread five times - short posts that could easily be written while off for a cup of tea or something.
    I do understand it not making sense to people and I wouldn't do it myself, but people really enjoy being nasty about it, which is uncalled for IMO. The lad is over-the-moon and also only a young fella - most of us have done silly things when young/on a high.

    It's certainly not jealousy. I think it's ridiculous, at minimum, to run to a public forum and announce your son is born.

    If the occasion was as momentous as he suggests, then why on Earth would boards.ie become a top priority? There are a whole range of things to do and say on such an occasion, but yet he chooses boards?

    Personally, I find the whole thing hard to believe. Sounds like a filthy prank to me.

    The people giving out or saying theres no need for the thread etc are 100 percent right.

    Get enough of this waffle everywhere else why the **** here as well?

    Theres no other reason at all posting something like that in here other then looking for attention. Your happy i get it i understand but why not enjoy it in the real world with your family and friends the internet doesn't need to know.

    The people with there congratulations bla bla crap being totally honest none of yous give a balls behind it all we just live in a world now unfortunately where a huge amount of people feel they need to feel false emotion towards the lifes of total bloody strangers.

    I had my first child 8 months ago should i make a thread about him or is it to late? Can i still claim my 100 thanks and 15 minutes of AH fame?

    You know what? Im staring your fate in the face right now and I think I'm going to move, fast.

    So what is it? Why does it annoy you so much that someone for so many of these "thanks" that you seem to despise so much? Jealousy/begrudgery, whatever you want to call it.

    I believe it, the OP has mentioned stuff like this in the past on here.

    Who said Boards was a top priority? With smartphones etc. you can get on boards, make a post, and be off it again in a matter of seconds. Even by reading the OP it looks rushed.

    I think the issue is that this is perhaps not the place for a running commentary of the OP and his personal life. There are more suitable places such as Facebook or Twitter. He has started 3 threads recently, solely focusing on his life's milestones.

    If I remember correctly, a while ago a thread in AH was locked (much to the dismay of many) for similar updates of their personal lives. Just seems a tad odd that these threads are permitted, but not that one.

    I agree in fairness. But then when you say "People don't really mean it when they're saying congrats" it's a claim you can read people's minds, which is arrogant. People are happy for anyone who has a new baby. Maybe not over the moon, but still happy for them.

    Posts like this and others come across as real petty, almost spiteful.

    I'd rather read about a happy moment in a regulars life than the near childish begrudgerment of others.

    OK fair enough maybe some are happy with it that's fine alot of it I just don't believe because alot of it is people being false.

    For me, it's not what I want boards to turn into. This is a discussion forum, I wish the OP best an all but this isn't the place for this type of thing. He should go on Facebook or Twitter.

    For f*ck's sake people. A guy had a kid and is excited. The begrudgery on this thread is everything that's wrong with the country. Try to be happy for someone else, just once. You never know, you might like it.
