What is DH????

Okay, didn't really know where to put this question but it is driving me crazy and everytime I ask, the people never answer. What does DH mean as in "I will ask my DH...." or " me and my DH are working on this project next" Somebody please tell me. Watch it be something really simple too so I can feel really stupid when I find out!

It's 'dear husband' -- you'll also see dd (dear daughter) and ds (dear son) dw (dear wife)

Suzy

Well, there it is. Thanks Suzy. Now I feel stupid. But that one was really bothering me. I just didn't know.

I remember I had to ask, too. Nothing made any sense when I read it in context. LOL! (Laugh out Loud)

Suzy

I knew that one. Funny thing is, I can even understand the kids with their bff, pir,omg.... I just didn't get that one.
Olivia

Then you are waaaay ahead of me! :))

S.

I have a 13 yr. old so I kinda have to keep up if I want to know what he is up to. Some parents just don't care but that is a whole other issue.
Olivia

When I am mad at mine (DH that is) it can stand for many other things, too ;) What's pir?

Edit due to lack of interest .

PIR is code for parent in room. I put my computer in the family room only cause it's safer. No internet in the bedrooms here. Anyway, if they are chatting to a friend about something and there is some chance it is inappropriate or private and they think the parent may be looking or nosing around then they type in pir in the middle of the conversation. It means don't say anything bad right now cause mom or dad is watching.
Olivia

THAT will be a good one for me to know. My kids are still young but they do get on the computer more and more. None in the bedrooms here, either.

I allow my son some space in that I watch what he does but pretend not to. I also know that they may have a bit of a filthy mouth when adults aren't around. I was actually quite surprised though to see that no matter how filthy and lewd his friends are, he keeps it clean. As well, he is actually a gentleman and has manners especially towards the girls. That was a big one for me and I was proud, the message actually stuck rather going out the othe ear.
Oh, and don't worry, you won't have to remember it. They are so fast that by the time your kid gets there, the language will be a whole different one. Just try to smile and not pull out your hair.
Olivia

My kids are grown so I don't know these things any more. = + ) What is ROFL and bff?

Rolling On the Floor Laughing, and I believe BFF is Best Friends Forever.

Suyrumani -- thank you so much!! I have been puzzling over those, especially ROFL.

I had to look that one up a few months ago. Actually, I was looking up: ROFLMAO, which boils down to Rolling On the Floor Laughing My A$$ Off. (My oldest is almost 4, so it wasn't because of him.) I was wondering what someone was saying in a mommy support group! I still look online for some abbreviations because of some co-workers!

Well imagine how I feel now. My son knows that I know some of these so him and his friends make up new ones so they can talk in code. So I have to decifer new ones that aren't even commonly used.

don't know about y'all but we barely just got mtv as a teen(3 whole vids over & over) the only reason my kids get on the comp is for the dictionary- much less online,and if they do i am over their shoulder- have a contract w/ the school- they can't paddle so my kids can't get online unles it's the nasa site, history channel, or discovery school site..

p.s. and if ya got yer kid a cell phone - there's a great cheap program for it - it calls 911, triple a(ya know the auto breakdown) ,& the parent's #.and there is a gps code on it so anything they call - ya know right where they are

cell phone, forget it. I always tell him that he can have one when he has a job to pay the bill. and no job until he shows me he is responsible enough to handle all the other things in his life like choirs, attitude, grades. he always tells me I am hard on him but I don't really think I am. I think I am easy compared to what I went through and it is the other parents who aren't doing their jobs that make me look tough.
I never had half of the stuff he does and I was a latch key kid probably at 9. to get a new bike was a major deal and even then they bought it for you really big cause you had to keep it for forever so it better fit you years from now. I remember once breaking a strap on my sandle so I missed the bus. it was just hanging from my ankle and my grandma said I should have gone to school anyway and taped it when I got there.
wow! Gypsy, do they still paddle there? I thought that was long gone.

Yeaa for you!! You are on the right track. You are NOT too hard on him. Spoiled brats do not spontaneously turn into responsible adults at the age of 18.

I cringe at the privileges and "stuff" my kids give theirs without inforcing standards for grades, chores, responsibilities, and attitude/behaviour . Unfortunately, so far out of five grandchildren the three oldest ones are selfish, self-centered, inconsiderate, and unambitious, two of whom are already "adults".

My children were NOT raised the way these were raised, and they did not turn out like this either. Because I was a single mom they had to be latchkey kids from the age of 11. Since we were poor and money was always tight, my kids appreciated everything they got.

My grandchilden appreciate NOTHING. This is not a good thing at all.

Karen

no. the schools aren't allowed to paddle,i meant that i don't allow the kids to use computers @ school (too much unobserved net surfing). they only use it here for emailing family & using the dictionary on it.

well thanks glendale. I needed that. sometimes I wonder if I really am being too hard. your example is exactly what I am trying to avoid.

LOML = love of my life
SWMBO = she who must be obeyed

Yup....those are the only two things I allow my DH to call me. How did you know?

I'm a DH.

:-)

ga_peach~ thank you for askingthe DH thing. I have always thought it was initials for someone. LOL

Karen~ Roll Tide. (i guess) I am from Montgomery, AL.

specklepig~ where is Satsuma,AL?

Elizabeth

ejennings - Roll Tide Roll !!

ejennings - We're just north of Mobile.

I miss Alabama sometimes. I lived in Montgomery for 28 of my 32 years!!
I may go back one day and visit.
War Eagle!!! just kidding :)

Cell phones, ipods, blackberries (I think), lol, bff, pir! Boy I really must be over the hill. Does anyone remember, or even know, what a slide rule is and what you can do with it? What's going to happen when the batteries dwam?

wow, I just got a new education......I am 65 with adult children who have children....i didn't know some of this ROFL, etc.

I read the post of one grandmother talking about her grandchildren and started laughing.

There is more than one way to raise a child. I was a single mom who had few rules......too busy to make up the rules.....
My children are now 35,36 and 37. They turned out well with few rules.

Now, just the opposite is happening....they are much stricter on their children than I was on them......(it is a different world today)

I think some children benefit from a lot of structure and routine....some don't need it....I never asked my kids if they had homework as I was tired and needed to get dinner on the table. They made great grades because it was important to them.

"Pick your battles wisely".....as my pediatrician daughter says, "No nagging with the children unless it is a matter of safety"....love can cover a multitude of sins!!!

I think I got a little carried away.....just glad i don't have to rear children again.....only play with the grandchildren, spoil them rotten and send them home to their parents.

Good night.
