Yes indeed, I say keep competing and give us all good laughs! I have adored the anecdotes you’ve provoked in your comments box here Petite.
Dr Analyst, I challenge you to give us a funny child anecdote yourself without competition of any kind.
If children can’t make us laugh we’ve no chance.

To have a sense of humour failure, one has to have had one in the first place, n’est-ce pas?

What kind of people “compete” over ‘anecdotes’ about their child ??? For god sake put the child before individual egos.

I regularly listen to the Women’s Hour on Radio 4. Never to they refer to people as ‘having fun together”. They talk about “one having sexual intertocourse with one’s partner”. They’re very open and ad-lib. It’s a very good show and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in matters related to wimmmin.

THAT’S more like it, Paris Lights. Not only was he stupid enough to leave you but then he went and married a psycho – MY KIND OF EX :) Trop fort!

I’m not allowed to get in touch with my (married) ex, his new wife, even when she was his girlfriend, disallowed any kind of contact with other women! “She’d go ballistic if she knew I was even writing you an email” was the one thing I remember most clearly. Strange choice of woman.
Petite, you’re very lucky to have an ex and a good friend in one, who sounds like a great father too. Keep him like that, it doesn’t happen often. I hope you find it easy to be as reasonable as he was, when he has a new lady in his life.

Rhino, that’s just you. Some people can be friends (children or no children) and some can’t (children or no children). I have a very cordial relationship with one of my most significant exes and his new wife that extends to my visiting for a couple of days now and then. We DID finish things in one area and began afresh in another. There are no rules — save the ones about behaving like civilized adults, which is what Petite and Frog are doing.

Hmmm. And I note that that expression “having fun together” has popped up again on this site.
