[nannanoonoo]

OK, i'm not an old fuddy duddy, but what are all the abreviations people on here use ~?? I was looking for advice about a illness my grandaugher has at the moment and couldn't understand what the little initails MEAN? ie- WTF -GD DD OH MY ????? My granddaughter lives with us and she is 7 and a little angel come devil lol

OP isn't going to come back for more flaming

And while we're at it, WTF is "norn iron", seen elsewhere in these pages this very morning.

FMOB =Fuck My Old Boots
FUBAR = Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition

Norn Iron is Northern Ireland.

I thought FUBAR = Fucked up beyond any redemption.

I am 60 and a grandmother and have been here for about 8 years - so far I've managed not to mother anyone - I have learnt a great deal from much younger women.

does no one care that I'm 60 and a grandma?

does no one care that I'm 60 and a grandma?

you better tootle off to gransnet Gin

I mean we are rude yoofs here

Well while we're all talking about our ages and our relatives' ages, I may as well join in I suppose. If my father were still alive he would be 107 and my only child (daughter) is 25. That's quite a big age range isn't it?

Eh? WTF happened here? LMFAO
FWIW I thought STBXH was stupid bastard ex. Lots of people have made that mistake though.

I care deeply for your GM status Ginslinger.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

I am old enough to be a grandma
I'm not though
Because my dc don't care enough about me to make me one
They only care about themselves, their education and their careers
It's not fair

This is hilarious. I really hope the OP comes back and continues

I always wonder about the mentality of someone who marches onto a website that's been around for years and has millions of members and proceeds to patronise everyone and tell them they're doing it wrong, starts berating everyone to learn some manners and then flounces off. It just shows a stunning lack of self awareness.
Gin I thought you were about 25 but am deeply impressed that you're a grandmother.

Christ I feel sorry for the OP she has had her bitten off when she was trying to be kind

littlemissM92, judging by the way all the post were written, I wouldn't be too concerned for the op. Anyone who knows MN would be familiar with the style, it was an odd opening post. Following that, the very dramatic from introduction to flounce in 4 posts suggest it possibly wasn't completely true. Could be wrong, of course. If I am, the very patronising way the op spoke was just as rude as some of the replies.

Littlemiss, I wouldn't worry too much about the OP.

Someone coming on here offering to mother us within her first two or three posts is very likely not for real. At best they lack a certain amount of social awareness and have never taken the time to read and understand the forum.

Getting huffy and flouncing when grown adults say that they don't want to be mothered by her (or him?) is just twatty.

Sorry, as an oldun starting again with a grandchild, I wil try to use acronyms, but frankly I will also use plain old English, I hope you young mum's don't mind but I do have a few years experiance and will try to be a mum to all, is that ok ?

"Plain old English" would have been nice. Terms like "oldun", "mum's" and "experiance" don't really come into that category.

I have a feeling there was a post like this before on here offering to 'mother' us or suchlike.

What is "experiance"?

It is not possible to have "experiance". It IS possible to have "experience" though.

Off to Pedants' Corner.

Never mind whether the OP is genuine, or not. I am absolutely guffawing at WTF = With The Family!
