I'm new to Mumsnet and I feel a bit left out as I don't know what most of you are saying. It's like a new language.

What's a DD, DS, DW, DH????????

DD1, DS2?????

Please can you write me out an idiots guide to talking on Mumsnet.

ahhh my computer is sooo slow today

DS is darling son

DD is darling daughter

DS1 or DD1 mean their first son or daughter

DS2 or DD2 mean their second son or daughter etc etc

You'll soon get the hang of it

dd - dear daughter, ds - dear son, dh - dear husband dp - dear partner. The numbers refer to more than 1 child. dd2 (second daughter etc)

HTH

DD.....darling daughter
DS.....darling son
DW ....darling wife

When you see DD1 etc it's just darling daughter number 1

don't confuse her DA!

Hi Tas - CHeck the Acronyms list...

but, DD is dear daughter, DS dear son... dear wife, dear husband - DP is dear partner...

the numbers are when there is more than one child.

For those with complicated lives... there are also DSD and DSS (step daughters and sons)

I don't get out much either!!

DA - do you not mean DMSF?...

and DS1 (6) means the elsdest son is 6yo (years old)

Welcome BTW (by the way) and HTH (hope this helps)

Thanks guy's.
I feel like one of the gang now.

that's just the tip of the iceberg Tas1. There's a whole vocabulary of words used on MN that you'll soon be using.

who are/where you DA?

But surely you're a namechanger? or have we just not crossed paths before?
