Silly Question

we don't need to know all that. Profanity has no place on this blog or website. Profanity is used by ignorant people with poor vocabularies and social skills. Not cool.

To single someone out on a posting is also very ignorant and lacking social skills, if you don't agree with what Cindy H says then move on. The greatest part of this website is the varying opinions and life experiences that we get from these very diverse women. There is no reason to try to control what some women want to say as long as it is not degrading or demeaning. We are all adults here, so lets please act like adults and not pretend that these words aren't used frequently in the real world, whether they are appropriate or not.

If you haven't already heard by now, it stands for Stay at Home Mom. Don't feel bad, I had the same question when I first started on this web site.

how about Stay At Home Mom:-)

It's not a silly question!! it means Stay At Home Mom!!! You'll get use to the lingo!!!

sahm - Stay At Home Mom

Hi C.,
I think it stands for "Stay At Home Mom". Don't feel bad...I don't always know what other people's abbreviations are either! :-) Have a great day.

C.

I know sometimes I spend more time trying to figure out the acronyms than actually reading or answering the message....it's like reading realty info about houses.

sahm is stay at home mom I do believe. And mil is mother-in-law.

i think it means ..stay at home mom

SAHM= Stay at home mom

Also,

DS/DD/DH - dear son/dear daughter/dear hubby
MIL/FIL/SIL/DIL - Mother/Father/Sister or Son/Daughter -in-Law

stay at home mom. There is no such thing as a silly question.

God Bless,
S.

SAHM = stay at home mom

Its not a silly question. It means Single At Home Mom.

I know it took me a while to figure it out too!
Stay at home Mom

Stay at Home Mom. I'm still trying to learn all this jargon as well :)

The common ones used here are SAHM (stay at home mom), FTWM (full time working mom), PTWM (part time working mom), DS (darling son), DD (darling daughter), DH (darling or devoted husband)....took me a while too!

SAHM is Stay At Home Mom :)

I think that means Stay At Home Mom... but I'm still clueless about many of the abbreviations I read on this site. LOL

Thanks for the question...I didn't even know!

Not a silly question. I'm a stay at home Mom and did not know either. However now looking at the others apparently I'm a work at home Mom.

Ask whatever questions you need to that's what we are all here for.

stay-at-home-mom :-)

SAHM = stay at home mom
WAHM = work at home mom
:)

C.,

There is never a silly question. I actually know the answer to this: Stay at home mom!

good luck with the computer; as I seem to be somewhat technology behind.

I would like to say I appreciated the list someone posted of all the abbreviations. It helps to know what your kids are texting when you see the abbreviations. so thanks for the list.

Stay At Home Mom - don't feel silly. Computer talk acronyms drive me crazy too sometimes (trying to figure them out).

Some others:

DH - dear husband
DD - dear daughter
DS - dear son
SO - significant other

Stay at home mom. That's an honest question, I get it a lot actually.

NOT a silly question......I too find the current "short" form words confusing. I remember when one of our friends sent my husband LOL....my husband thought it meant Lots of Love, not Laugh out Loud....he was very upset by the idea his friend was sending him a "Love" note.....

I see you have gotten many responses with the answer you seek....so I thought some words of encouragement were needed more. Good Luck! or should I say GL2U

If you are saying what I think you are saying a sham is a situation that is not real, a cover up of something to mislead (example) his business is a sham. it is not a real business it is a cover up for somethnig else

Not really silly some of the intials confused me too. I am pretty sure SAHM stands for stay at home mom.
