Expanding the Parenting Lexicon: Absurd Words

Parenting is a funny business, or can be, with sufficient amounts of irony and several servings of alcohol daily (or a general peace and centeredness, but wine is considerably less time-consuming).  So we had some fun at StrollerDerby today throwing around some new vocabulary words that describe certain aspects of parenting:

  • Laquandry = When you have no idea how such small people generate so much laundry.
  • Mominator = When Mommy has had it with the whining crying and demanding and takes BACK the power.
  • Angrousal = When your anger at your spouse turns into arousal, after the kids go to bed.
  • Communibody = The way many mamas feel when they have are nursing, toting tots, feeding and clothing small people, and still are asked to respond to midnight requests for special attention.
  • Smellstery = When you have no idea where that smell is coming from.
  • Whatthefuh = What you say when you step on a sharp toy in the dark.

 Have any to add?

"Monstometry" is a popular one at my house. Used to define the act of our little one going ballistic, it is part of the family of words that include:

Monstometer: The baby monitor

Monster fuel: Food, or that which fuels the monster

Monstometric pressure: The level of insanity faced by one or both parents in the household.

Ha ha! We have a few:

Matred: what you feel towards your significant other when he/she asks to sleep in.

Parkolepsy: taking your child to a playground for a couple hours in the hope of inducing a nap.

Blandibles: the only food group your toddler will eat, made up of plain noodles, toast, apple juice, bagels, and rice.

Crime-out: when you lock yourself in the bathroom and take deep breaths to avoid child endangerment.
