    So exciting for you all. Congratulations :)

    I hope you have many long happy and healthy years as a family.

    I'm sure your son is the most incredible person in the world to you right now, so feel free to brag about him :P What's he weigh? Can you tell yet who he looks like?

    It's about a 9:1 ratio of positive to negative comments. Don't concentrate on the negative ones

    Congrats to you and your good lady but maybe it is time to lay of boards for a while, you won't get these moments back, boards will still be here when you get a moment to yourself.

    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?

    Ugh, yawn. Give me the young lad telling Boards about his new baby before the above po-faced shyte (and all the other posts like it).
    And eh... people here really not to stop telling others what they're thinking - mind-reading isn't possible. I thanked the OP because I'm genuinely happy for him, it's not due to feeling obliged to express fake emotion. If I was indifferent to it, I wouldn't thank it and I'd disregard the thread.

    Yeh, so such a thread isn't necessary, but it's here, so get over it and just ignore it. Dickish comments about it aren't necessary either. And they're also attention-seeking - to showcase how cynical and hard one is.

    I don't know the OP but I'm genuinely happy for him. His baby arriving safe and sound is a great thing, you don't need to know someone to be happy for them. But it is kinda miserable to rain on someone's parade. If there are too many threads with people telling things that only affect them, well go ahead and raise the issue at the helpdesk or wherever you're supposed to and ask for a policy of only starting topics about things that affect large numbers of people.

    OP hasn't posted in 7 hours!

    He's clearly been told to take his face out of the phone...

    Rightly so.

    Oh and congrats!

    So can everyone start threads on their kids now?

    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.

    It's no worse than the shyte that's posted here day in day out. If you don't think it should be a thread report it.

    I was delighted for the OP a bit of a 'Good News' story.

    And people getting worked up about "thanks whoring" need to get a grip. "Fishing for likes" my teenage nephew calls it on FB- but that's a juvenile opinion to have.

    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.

    No skin off my nose if you do (poor analogy mind). Anyone who doesn't want to read it can ignore it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
