totally agree! The child is only a few days old. Early days yet.


I agree. Poor Aoife. It cannot be easy carrying a baby and handing it over to 2 nut jobs.

It's their baby!!!
All sorts of REAL crazy people have babies all over the world. Horrible despicable people have kids, drug addicts, rapists, murderers have kids.
I don't feel in anyway sorry for Aoife, I feel in awe her. She did a beautiful thing for people she loves. She handed a baby over to her parents!!! She'll always have a beautiful bond but she isn't the child's mother.

Honestly I have a brother who is gay and reading some things here are a real eye-opener.
If my brother decided he wanted a baby I would be so supportive (not to the extent of carrying it though) because I know he's a good person that would love and look after it.
I thought we had moved out of the stone age.

YES to these people

I am soooooo disgusted that they are being gifted Elf town and all those personalised goodies!! Elf Town doesn't need these grifters, it really boils my blood. Earlier this year I took some unpaid leave from work and opted to pay for Elf town with their payment plan over a few months so we could go this December. I was also there at their very first one when it opened in a little space off a side street in Galway and we've gone a few times over the years as it grew. This doesn't entitle me to anything nor do I want anything but when you see then how these nobodies are GIFTED these experiences it is beyond infuriating. Would Orthur or Brian pay for this? NEVER! Did personalised Christmas stockings arrive with my order? NO! Can they afford these experiences themselves? YES!
I will be also interested to see how many of their entourage they will rock up with today.
Its like the "influencers" who rock up to free hotel stays to find goodies and food in their rooms where you and I pay an arm and a leg without so much as a bottle of water left in the room!!
Rant over! Its left such a sour taste though.
This is nothing new either but it hits hard when all of us mere mortals have grafted and they've gifted!! We are the ones keeping these businesses going!!!
Same for bord gais tickets, cinema outings, meals out, hotel stays and so on. How many santa experiences will they grab this year while many families will go without!

If anything I think tattle should be suing him for his lies.

She isn’t wrong at all, Arthur has no talent. They’re both stealing a living.

She's not her daughter, wasn't her egg, she "housed" the fertilized egg for 9 months so therefore not the child's biological mother whatsoever. Most surrogates are not involved in the child's upbringing and the ones that are do it from a distance, mainly not to confuse the child, but not this lot, they don't give a toss about the kids future nor Aoifes future, just as long as they can keep exploiting them online they're happy.

She didn't "house an egg", she gestated a fertilised embryo until it was a viable baby. During that time, cells of the baby's travelled through the placenta and mingled with hers. She will have felt the baby moving, felt every ache and pain and twinge as her pregnancy progressed. She will have seen her body change permanently. She will have felt the pain of her c section scar and the cramping and bleeding afterwards. She will have felt her milk coming in. She will have felt a huge connection to the tiny creature she grew in her body for nine months and an overwhelming urge to care for her.

Sorry for going into such gory detail about a woman I don't know, but I'm really sick of the dehumanised shit people talk about surrogacy. She's not an incubator and these two dickheads have no right to take credit for what she's doing. How dare they shove her aside like that and belittle her? They make me sick.

they can spew all they want on their one pages but TV shows and radio shows have to be more careful

What a bunch of drivel Orthur. Instead of spending time coming up with absolute nonsense why don’t you stick a few washes on and sterilise a few bottles. Oh wait that was all done for you when you got home.
I’ll fix your statement for you…
‘You only have one lovely Mum who travelled to spend time with you and your children. You have a beautiful six week old baby who is helpless and depends on you…life is short but Ibiza could have waited…Pipsy will probably be 40 again next year.’

Sorry what do you mean. Blu has nothing to do with him? She's his daughter. Not biological but he is still her dad. Or do you not think gay couples should be able to adopt?
He is a dose but they are still a family.
I think what Aoife did for them was amazing. Not sure how that makes her a dope.

But he has never bothered to adopt Blake… after all his crying in the media. He could have adopted her from age 2 & the same with Blu when she turns 2.
I’ve nothing against gay couples adopting , how dare you suggest that.
I do have an issue with people using kids to make money & to use them for their own agenda of staying in the limelight.
They are using Aoife, everyone can see that. If they need childcare, hire a nanny, don’t use the kids surrogate to mind them & confuse the children. That’s not ethical, gay, straight or otherwise.

Aw lads can we not get all mumsnet please

Oh wow I think his diet has worked! He lost about a stone and half between 10 am and 8 pm today!

The absolute notions of them. As predictable as a shit summer in Ireland…baby’s face reveal photo shoot. With one of the Tighe’s sitting in as babysitter as Aoife is still relaxing drinking fizzy pop somewhere. Doesn’t look like she’s included in the pics…oh yeah, sure they’re a ‘family of 4’.
Cue the dramatic birth story…which is actually her story, not theirs, cue Brian holding Buhloo in all fotos, cue open mouthed poses, cue right leg out to the side from Brian, cue Orthur’s hand up to his hair pose…I could go on but I have to put a wash on (which is probably also what Aoife is doing right now).

WTF?

Conor Pope was on 'Six' the other evening and the topic was baby monitors being hacked or something, I was only half listening it was on in the background. Bryon was saying they they have a few of those video monitors and Conor Pope (possibly being facetious) said 'can you imagine your most precious thing, your child, as you're lifting them out of their crib' and Bryon interrupted him saying 'being streamed and watched by strangers, it's frighening'.
My jaw nearly fell on the floor, the irony completely lost on him that this is exactly what they do every day of those kids lives and nobody needs to hack anything!! He's recording and sharing their precious moments with strangers already, he's so fucking stupid! I like to think Conor Pope walked him into it....

Never been on this thread as generally not interested in this man but HA BLOODY HA AND WELL DONE TATTLE

The way they keep Aoife a secret is so unbelievably creepy. They are all there together but she’s not allowed to be in the photos, or she’s at home all day with the kids doing longer days than the majority of stay at home parents and they are passing her photos off as their own, never, ever acknowledging her presence. Her living with them and minding the kids post surrogacy is a very strange set up but pretending she doesn’t exist is disturbing.

I saved this the other day when I saw it. Now is the perfect time to share!

Thanks to @ahtisyourself for thread title suggestion

Quick recap from last thread
BDG and Arthur welcomed baby Blake Maria Rose Dowling Gourounlian into the world at the begining of September. Brian's sister Aoife was the surrogate. A donor egg was used however we don't know whether Brian or Arthur is the father and in fairness we don't need to know. Aoife will be down as mother on birth cert with one of the lads due to legalities here in Ireland however in two years time they can change that.
Aoife lived with Brian and Arfur for the duration of her pregnancy. They spent most of it begging for freebies, had a baby shower which was probably all a freebie too. If they weren't begging for freebies they were off pampering themselves or Brian and Arfur were preening and pouting in mirror. Brian is on paternity leave now but from what noone knows coz he doesn't seem to work much.
Much as BDG and Arfur drive us nuts with their carryon think we can safely say we all delighted for them and that baby was delivered safely and Aoife is well.

Im not sure what he expected - they want her christened into the Catholic Church which generally doesn’t condone homosexuality I have no personal issue with it myself before anyone comes for me but I’m genuinely curious to know what way he expected that meeting to go. They don’t go to mass and don’t practice Catholicism (which is totally their right etc) but why have that kind of christening so.
