Hi everyone,

I am really finding this for helpful, but despite having worked in finance and in the public sector, i just can't decipher all the accronyms people are using. I get PG and MC, but I am lost on most of the rest: DD, DH, DD1. I can guess what they are refering to, but can't work out what they mean!

Please put my already baby brained brain to rest and share what you know.

Don't worry!

DD or DS - dear daughter/son
DH or DP - dear husband/ partner

Anymore?!

I can't link to it on my phone but there is a mn guide to acronyms. You could try searching for it.

Hth (hope that helps)

Odfod, you won't find on the list but is used my some for oh do fuck off dear, because sometimes there really is nothing else you can say!

DD1 is dear daughter 1, someones first daughter. It can be confusing.
BF-breastfed, EBF -exclusively breast fed
FF-formula fed
Mil/FIL - mother in law and father in law.
I still get a bit lost and end up thinking every ones daughters are called Deedee lol

Thank you so much. I feel less like I am deciphering hyroglyphics now. Have a lovely weekend.
