I’m a father trying to get some advice and there’s probably something in here that could probably really help me but to be honest it’s all so confusing, mainly because you all choose to say things life DD, DH, DS & EBF and expect everyone else to understand, it’s really frustrating, please stop this lazy trend because your actually writing things down that can really help a lot of people but those people don’t understand what your saying, they don’t want to go through the process of registering then asking and feeling stupid for asking and they end up exiting the site to look elsewhere when quite possibly the exact info and advice they needed was right infront of them and they missed it.

If you really want to help people then please don’t use abbreviations

OP. It's 'you're' if you mean 'you are'. You have persistently used the wrong one whilst you were busy telling us what to do.

I'm picturing a room full of women working out abbreviations using the context and their common sense.

Vs op who's just sat in the corner scratching his head because no one's spoon feeding him.

Everyone else: comes to the forum and gets confused by abbreviations; looks them up; realises they're very simple; uses them.

OP: comes to the forum and gets confused by abbreviations; tells the rest of the forum not to use them; throws a strop when it's pointed out that he's being rude.

YABU and FTFO.

I think he has gone.

He PM'ed me, with message title 'Response' but it was deleted at user's request before I saw there was new mail, so I have no idea what he wanted to say, nor why he didn't just say it on the thread

looks like a new gender

You get to be the HAAQOMN.

But no one will ever know what that is because it is my new acronym.

cranstonmanor · 05/04/2019 15:11

Gosh, even as a foreigner I got the hang of the abbreviations in about 5 minutes (which basically meant just reading the list once). I like it now, it makes the posts so much shorter and I get it instantly anyway.

TheQueef · 05/04/2019 14:44

I think he might have trotted off.
One of you must have upset him talking in the secret lady code.

Never mind learning the acronyms, man needs to learn to use you're Shock

Ok, which mainly male forum is holidaying on MN this time?

Because compared to the visiting forum that brought us the legend of Balonz from Frensham Ponds, you’re not being very entertaining. Try harder.

TheQueef · 04/04/2019 20:11

If only we knew for sure the acronyms were putting men off.

myrtleWilson · 04/04/2019 19:57

Fatherofthree when you say you "almost didn't bother with this site..." whatever could you mean given that this is your first post? So "almost not bothering" actually means posting once to sock puppet defend a male's inability to use fairly simple abbreviations..
