AIBU to feel sorry for Hugh Grant's daughter who he reportedly 'likes very much'?

[CheesyWellingtons]

What a complete tit. Who honestly says that about a new baby child. I hope to God she never hears these words uttered by her emotionally incompetent father

I've offered my pair away to people who've said how good/ nice they are, 2 for price of one and all that. Gallows humour ;)

"Um, lots of people warned me about that; they said never let anyone know, but the baby period is not that exciting. But I am excited, actually. I thought, well, I'll bluff through ? but very little bluffing has been required. I like my daughter very much. Fantastic. Has she changed my life? I'm not sure. Not yet. Not massively, no. But I'm absolutely thrilled to have had her, I really am. And I feel a better person."

Aw, he sounds thrilled but saying it in an understated Hugh Grant 'someone who has been done over by the tabloids' stylie.

it's like he's a caricature of himself. the sentiment is right out of, 'About a Boy...'

I fancy Hugh Grant

Me too usualsuspect

It all sounds very sweet to me, in a terribly Brrrrritish understated way.

Oooh I love Hugh, I can just imagine him saying it, in his ever so English manner.

And I would be very happy if he were to say it about me

whatever he says some areas of the press he can do not right

the ex makes remarks like this

he is always cuddling ds, tells him he loves him and he is wonderful, still carries him around all the time (he is 4) and adores him everyone knows most importantly ds knows, it is just his way. his way of telling me he loved me was to tell me i was his best friend

God what is UP with everyone picking on every little word anyone in public life says? Get a bloody life OP and mind your own - you know nothing of HG or his relationship with his daughter - and that is doubtless exactly as he would wish it to be.

i say to dh ' i tolerate you' he replies ' i tolerate you too'

whilst we both mean it at some level - we also both adore each other

i dont like hugh grant particularly, i think he's a fop haired knobber who plays the same fucking character in everything.

however it seems clear to me that this comment was his sort of humour - i am sure he was asked a blindingly obvious question before he answered in this manner

I 'oh they'll do' sometimes when some says something about on of my family

what kind of complete tit would try and judge someone parent-child relationship on a throwaway remark?

I thought it was funny and charming.

I often tell my children that I have decided to 'keep them'.

Really? really? Although I'm more by the few posters who are buying into it.

He is wry and understated. And slightly mocking perhaps of all the interest in what he thinks of his daughter, when at the heart of it is simply a father-daughter relationship that is no one's business, and a sweet little newborn baby girl.

Oh, and DS (2) said 'I like you mummy' to me today. I said 'I like you too.'

Obviously we don't love each other

I'm off to report myself to SS. Someone asked me how I felt about my dd and I said 'Well, we're going to have to keep her as I didn't look into the returns policy and it seems we can't take her back.' I didn't even admit to liking her.
I have also been known to say to a colleague 'Can we put an advert up on the noticeboard? Child free to a home. Doesn't need to be good.'
I was clearly unfit for this whole parenting lark.

(Disclaimer on previous post: DD is going to marry me, and not her Dad, so I must be doing something right somewhere when even the God that is Daddy has not quite cut it!)
