Community acronyms for newbies

Hi, my name is Terria and I have been a message board addict for 4 years now. I remember the first time I visited a parenting board there were so many acronyms that I had no idea what anyone was talking about. It didn’t take long before DH and ROFL were a natural part of my vocabulary. As a matter of fact (is there an acronym for that?) I was once filling out medical forms and put “DH” on the relationship line by my husband’s name. J Here is a list I compiled to make message board life a little easier for you newbies. Please feel free to add to my list!

· DH, DD, DS: Dear husband, daughter, son

· MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL: Mother, father, sister, and brother in law

· TTC: Trying to conceive

· POAS: Pee on a stick

· BFN/BFP: Big fat negative/positive

· SAHM: Stay at home mom

· WAHM: Work at home mom

· WOHM: Work out of home mom

· AF: Aunt Flo

· CIO: Cry it out

· PPD: Post partum depression

· FF: Formula fed

· BF: Breastfeed or breastfed

· TMI: Too much information

· OMG: Oh my goodness

· WTF: You will have to figure that one out on your own! J

· LOL: Laughing out loud

· IMO/IMHO: In my opinion/in my humble opinion

· ROFL: Rolling on floor laughing

· SO: Significant other
