Because people use shorthand on message boards. It's extremely common, and so it becomes habit.

well When I started gettn' into message forums I was a step-mom (Newbie)
The short hand helps me personally understand what the other person was chatting about
Step-Son SS
Step-Daughter SD
Biological Mom BM
Ex-wife = Well you figure it out! BB
So om.
See, I am a BM and a SM to one BS and One SS
It also protects the name of the individual....but giving enough information for one to understand (Like me with two boys same age) which one I am chatting about

I always thought it was Yes Dear uttered with a snarling tone which really translates to Yes Da**it!

Is that right?

I see it written as a person in the following type context:
"I had to take YD to practice last night."

I've wondered if it was "young daughter"?

On Second Wives club forums I have seen YD as Basically
"the Young Daughter" When a lady had to biological daughters and a step-daughter and was trying to tell us about the Youngest daughter......
YD = Young Daughter
