Hi, I'm new to this site. I was needing somewhere to be able to vent about all the crazy stuff with a blended family. I'm a bit out of touch though and still don't know some of the common abbreviations that I come across on here. Anyone have a moment to help me decipher them?

Thanks

hi welcome! If you go to the "FAQ" section it'll let you know what the abbreviations are, also it helps if you put SD8 (stepdaughter, 8yrs old) or whatever age your step child is, as otherwise people constantly ask how old they are! Wink

ps, something I was glad to find out before I posted anything too personal in the forums, you can't delete posts on forums, but you *can* manage and delete your own blogs. I've personally found that with my paranoia of being "found out" that I'm on STalk by BM, it's just better to be aware of that!! (I've deleted most of my blogs once I've received advice and help from the amazing step parents on here! .like I said, I'm paranoid lol!) obviously if you're ok with leaving stuff up online then that's all good, just thought I'd let you know Wink

oh also ..I have found STalk is a little quiet at the weekends, so if you post a blog asking for advice during the week you're more likely to get more responses Smile

wth was I thinking's picture

The only abbreviation I haven't figured out yet I think is the OH, or ODH, or something like that, and I saw a GBU I think too that I couldn't decipher.
