[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 279925, member: 2459"] Wow. Sounds like such a lovely family. Maybe they thought all of the chaos would distract her from the chemo? Poor woman. :hammer: I think you are related to some of OUR families! LOL As for the difficult child, it means Gift From God aka the child that brought you here. Being a military man, you'll understand that we have our own language and acronyms here. You can go to (I think) the FAQ page and find the post about this. For now, here's a quick rundown: difficult child = gift from God easy child = perfect child(dren) (or the ones that don't drive you unusally bonkers) psychiatrist = psychiatrist or doctor that does medications for the child therapist = Therapist or counselor husband/wife = Dear husband or Dear wife SO = Significant other We have also developed our own dialect here because of the censoring feature on the site. I mentioned in my previous response that something hoovers because the site will censor the "real" word. Carp is also used alot as the word (when you switch the a and r) will be sensored also. Curiously though, hell is allowed. You may also want to make your own signature like the one that shows at the bottom of my post. I believe there is a post on that also at the FAQ page and you can go to USER CP and edit/create signature.
