I know I'm not up with all the abbreviations that come with texting and other forms of communication. Some have popped up on here, and I just would like to know what they stand for, (ie; DD-when referring to one's daughter, or DH-about a husband). What other ones are there? Thanks for setting me straight!! :)

What can I do next?

I'm guessing by the way some women on here talk about their husbands, that DH means "dumb husband" instead of "dear husband"!

Couple more I can think of is TMI (too much information) and SAHM (stay at home mom). I know that one because I am a stay at home mom : )

you can also google 'text meanings' and find out, for future reference. I had to do that with my kids, and it is enlightening!!!!
