Ruth Davidson

[maggiebee]

Just heard that Ruth Davidson had given birth to a boy. The Scottish Conservative leader tweeted on Friday afternoon that she and her partner Jen Wilson named the child Finn Paul Davidson. He weighed 10lb 1.5oz. Not quite sure how I feel about this but wish wee Finn a long and happy life.

Quite right AOG. I left when this was posted.

Then they are not your step children, they are your wife's children from her first marriage, which is not the same thing at all.

A woman has given birth to a baby, why all the publicity, and isn't it quite normal these days for same sex couples to bring up children?

AOG -
1. She's the leader of the Conservatives in Scotland.
2. Yes, it is.

Stepchild - Wikipedia


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepchild






A stepchild or stepkid is the offspring of one's spouse, but not one's own offspring, neither biological nor through adoption.

Oh dear, SparklyKid.....those with thin-skins probably shouldn't loudly complain about being insulted on threads where they deliberately set out to cause insult to others.....

The use of the term 'step-children/step-parents' is usually given in a household where the children still live with one biological parent. It is seldom used where two older people marry after their respective off-spring have flown the nest.

The use of the term 'step-children/step-parents' is usually given.




But not exclusively.

[SparklyKid]

Very confusing. When we married, one of my wifes children was still at home and one was not. Does that mean I have only one stepchild ?

[Rockrose]

O it just means the other child had a lucky escape

[anneasquith]

Ooft 10lbs +. Big boy l!!!. I don't like RD but it's nothing to do with her sexuality or having a baby . My only concern is when the child attends school, some children adapt their parents views .

RR, you were complaining recently about insults made against you, you are out of order, again.

[Rockrose]

It an insult given your own public views on matters it is my Opinion that the child had a lucky escape.
And I think you will find I never conplained about the insults

[Rockrose]

Not an insult sorry on my phone

SparklyKid - This thread is about Ruth Davidson and her new baby and *not* about whether, or not, you are a step-parent or are feeling miffed.

Tell that to AH, he started this step parent definition going.

[Rockrose]

I believe it was your comment that started the debate on parents sparkly
//One is a parent and one is not.//

[jackthehat]

SparklyKid - And yet, by belting-up, you could put a stop to it all especially as A-H is yet to clock-in this morning....

[jim360]

The "he started it" guff is what I'd expect from a primary school kid and nobody else.

[BANANASPLITS]

So Ruth has had a child and her partner is also female ..so what...what has it to do with anyone else ...good luck to them both and the new child

[rowanwitch]

Good luck to them, the child has a chance of growing up to live a decent productive life. He will have two people who will love and care for him. I am sure they have men in their families to do boy stuff as and when needed.
