Why does he always have to come up with such nicknames – Gogo, Moo-Moo, Tarn-Tarn. Does he have the same for Sarah?

Also, what a good idea to wake up the sleeping mother of an infant after she had a difficult pregnancy and as difficult labor just because something has dawned on you! You could've just written that down on your chalkboard along with other genius ideas if you can't rely on your memory. Well done, mate! #partnergoals
 
I feel like Gogo is such a standard nickname for a Margot. It was even in the To All the Boys movies, the sister is called Margo and her nickname is Gogo. How does that warrant waking up a sleeping person, let alone the mother of your newborn?

Poo for brains, this one.

He was so smug when he was saying the baby looks like me, everyone thinks she looks like me blah blah blah…

On another thread someone said this is evolutionary, so the fathers believe it IS actually their child. Says a lot about men that nature had to evolve to do this, if it's true :p

That was me! I was going to mention it here as well when I saw that post of his, but was honestly just too exasperated by him to bother. But yes, newborns tend to look a lot like their fathers when they're born because way back in the caveman days, men would kill or neglect infants if they got the notion that they were not theirs. So humans evolved to reflect the features of their fathers at birth, whether that changes over time or not entirely depends. I'm a prime example of this, not that anyone here knows me so, kind of irrelevant but anyway! It's very interesting!!

Ah, thanks @quipawiticism !! I remembered the gist of your post but couldn't come up with the details. Glad you could expand. It is fascinating stuff!

I don't have kids or been around newborns much so to me all newborns resemble each other and look like flan is their heritage, but I'm sure people with more experience can totally tell!
 
Wtf 3.2 million likes and this is all the likes she can muster up?

I imagine when she was woken up Sarah thought of a few new nicknames for Jim. 'You bleeping bastard' being top of the list.

Anyway don't nicknames just evolve naturally? You don't sit and invent them. Why is he just so incredibly odd?

Yes! It’s so try hard. I think a lot of parents, having actually chosen a name, want to call their child that! Then nicknames come about organically within the family or from school friends etc. Sometimes there is a story behind it isn’t there, like so-and-so couldn’t say the name so said this which was cute and then it stuck…and a cute story is not my 33 year old dad made it up and woke up my sleeping mother to ask permission to call me this (probably in the same simpering way an eight year old would ask mum if their friend can stay over for a sleepover, in my imagination 😂)
 
I don’t know whether this is a fair comment to make but both Jim and Alfie (I know this isn’t his thread) seem to be taking over with the baby. All the photos/videos they post is always of them holding the baby and never their partners. Especially with Jim it’s always ‘I do this, I do that’ never ‘we do this’ etc. It’s very odd behaviour.

Just a little fact check, since misinformation is never productive: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/babies-paternal-resemblance/
Not with malicious intent, i was just interested so I googled some more :)
