MNHQ - the legal, relationships and other boards have a little 'note' at the top, giving advice about MNers not necessarily being qualified etc etc.
Can we have one of those on the Stepparenting boards please, advising posters not to use terms that offend - such as BM (birth mum)?
These terms are commonly used elsewhere on the Internet but every time they are used on MN, the thread is hijacked and taken off track by those who are offended by its use - which means that support and useful advice gets lost in the clamour!
There seems to be some unwritten 'taboo' phrases that MNers don't like; so that new posters don't get lynched and others can give support asked for, can we somehow have a list of the terms to avoid, please?
Thank you
