AHASRADA Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Ever since I joined a gazillion homeschool-related Yahoo groups way back when, and certainly since becoming active on the Hive, my ds13 has called my homeschool social network the "Mom Mafia". When explaining this to hsing friends IRL, he demonstrates by acting shifty, looking quickly around and leaning in with a low whisper, saying "Hey, you got a copy of that 5th grade math?" Then opens his imaginary overcoat, glances around and once again whispers, "Yeah, got a good deal on one right here." :lol: If I'm on the computer for an extended period of time, he'll ask, "Are you writing to so-and-so, checking your mail, or are you on the Mom Mafia?" Only recently did he discover that this board is called WTM. He then asked, "What does that stand for, 'What-The-Mom'"? :glare: So, do your families have any cute names for (or comments about) the Hive?

k2bdeutmeyer Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 LOL, I love it!! Around here it's my "homeschool board". I have 2 other message boards I frequent - a mommy one, and a photography one. They are PYF (Photographing Your Family) and KTT (Kill This Thread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know EVERYthing. :D Yes, The Board has become the mother of all references and the arbitrator of many disputes in our house. Any question that can not be answered or settled here is referred to the board by not only the occupants of this house but by many other members of the family as well.

If it is a slow news day at our house, my dh or the kids will ask me what the latest board controversy is about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katia Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Here, it is "your ladies". As in, "Are you online talking to your ladies?" or "Why don't you ask your ladies?" or "What did your ladies say to that?" Yes, they know there are men on here, too. A lot of times I'll read the guys' posts aloud to them, but they still say "your ladies". :001_smile: I just usually call you my friends. Sometimes I say my online friends, but really....a lot of people don't 'get' that, ("How can you be friends with people you've never met?" :glare:) so I don't elaborate, kwim?
