So I haven't been on this site for too long and get confused sometimes by the abbreviations used. Can anyone help me with these? Some of the ones that I know are MIL, FIL, SO and others. I guess I just have a hard time understand some posts sometimes because I don't know all the abbreviations. I have looked around the site and don't see anything about them.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give!

Thank you everyone!! I really appreciate the info. Now I can understand some things a little more!! I will be using that website that was provided as well!!
I'm glad that my question could help some other moms too!!

SO - significant other
DH/S/D - darling husband, son, daughter
TTC - trying to conceive
TIA - thanks in advanc
IMHO - in my humble opinion
TMI - too much information
If you have some specifics, let me know, I MIGHT be able to help
SO is significant other
DH, DD, DS I think is darling husband, daughter, or son. That ones took me awhile, and I might still be wrong :-)
ETA: edited to add
BTW: by the way
FWIW: for what it's worth
MFE: made for eachother
YMMV: Your mileage may vary
Significant Other`~SO
SAHM~ Stay at home mom
DD ~ Dear Daughter
DS~ Dear Son
thanks workinmom, i wasn't too sure myself, i ASSUMED most of the abbreviations, and was right, but this confirmed it :)
MIL is Mother In Law, same for FIL (Father). Don't know SO. SAHM- stay at home M.. Any others? I think I just figured them out eventual with reading the context. Good question though!
Not a dumb question!
I had to ask when I first found this site too....and for the record, I like most all of them but I am not a fan of the "DD/DS"...I mean really? Who calls there kids "Dear Daughter/Dear Son"...still confused by these ones??
I know some of them but others I am still in the dark on, so here it goes:
MIL - Mother in Law
FIL - Father in Law
BIL - Brother in Law
SIL - Sister in Law
DS - Dear Son
DD - Dear Daughter
DH - Dear Husband
Those are the only ones I got stuck on at first. I can't think of any others. I have noticed a lot of medical abbreviations as well but on those I have been able to look up pretty easily. Enjoy!
I dont even know what SO is..... But I hope somebody answeres, so I can know to... Thanks for asking
It is common internet lingo.
If you go here you can look up pretty much anything you don't understand. http://www.netlingo.com/
significan other = SO(i had to think about this the longest)
stay at home M. = SAHM
sister-in-law = SIL
I think it is a great question. I see lots of abbreviations I don't know.

dgs - dear grandson
dgd - dear grandaughter
and sometime gpa/gma for the grandparents
DH= Dear Husband... or some refer to him as "Darn Husband."
MIL= Mother in law
SIL= sister in law
DS= dear son
DD= dear daughter
LOL= laugh out loud
ROFL= rolling on floor laughing
OMG= oh.my.gawd
IMO= in my opinion
IMHO= in my honest opinion
Not a stupid question, I'm glad you asked! I often find myself confused :)
WAHM - work at home mom
LO - loved one or little one depends on context
significant other :-) Mother In Law Sister In Law, Father In Law....
Ah, thanks for being the one to ask this question! I've been wondering all this time what DS, DD and DH were. Now I know!
