In light of my short hiatus, I’m back to share some fresh insights into the world of parenting, which I’ve dubbed “Momfinitions.” Here’s a look at a few new terms that capture the essence of being a parent.
Parental Immunity
The phenomenon where, after spending extended time with your kids, you develop an immunity to their more irritating behaviors. This is often highlighted when one parent returns home from work or a trip, bewildered, and asks, “Are the kids always this annoying?” while the other parent responds with a blank stare—it’s a resounding yes.
Parental Amnesia
The curious condition of forgetting just how bothersome your children can be when you are apart from them. This might manifest as wistfully scrolling through old photos during work meetings or picking up quirky souvenirs like whistles and play-doh while traveling. The only remedy? Returning home to your beloved chaos.
Parental Stupidity
The inability to relish your time away from the kids because you are too busy missing them.
Parental Inevitability
The cycle of coming back home and once again feeling the urgent desire to escape the very children you missed.
This exploration of parenthood is a lighthearted reminder of the complexities we navigate daily.
