Initials

Fairly new here and I have read several
posts and can so relate!
I did reply to a few, but am now not sure if I used
the right initials...

Please help me out here...
DH- would that be my now husband?
or my divorced husband as in ex..?

BD - bio daughter?
SD- step daughter
BM- bio mom

I think I just got the ex and current husband one confused.

thanks for your help!!

Someone posted awhile back about the initials.

DH = Dear Husband, Darling Husband (current)
BD = BIo Dad
BM = Bio Mom
SM = Step Mom
SS = Step Son
SD = Step Daughter
CS = Child Support
EW = ex-wife
EH = ex-husband
IL = In laws
SIL/BIL/FIL/MIL = Sister, brother, father, mother
EOW = every other week
GMa = grandma
Gpa = grandpa

I think this is the bulk of them. When in doubt consider the context of the blog. After reading a few you will have it down to a science.

Thanks,... funny thing though is I have seen
the EW on the posts and just thought it was a nickname
used for her... Im sure we all have our own that we use on occassion, and of course not in front of the kiddos.
thanks again..
this helps...

That's funny because initially I thought the same thing. I do however have a better one for BM (bowel movement). Okay let me come back to adulthood.

F, by the way, as in "FH" apparently stands for future. I for awhile thought it was short for a four letter word starting with F, and thought some people had a lot of animosity towards their husbands!!!

I thought the same thing with BM...

thanks Jess for the FH, I haven't run across that one yet, but more than likely would have been confused!!
