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

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

YABU and FTFO.

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.

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.

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.
