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
