momitis

Momitis:
Noun \'mam-i-tes\
1. A very common disease among mothers or those who are like minded. Symptoms include forgetfulness, insomnia; fear of teen drama, stretch marks, diaper explosions, and projectile vomiting.
2. Mom-like obsessions over unobtainable things, e.g., a clean house, alone time, obedient children, pre-baby body. Instead having to settle for PTA meetings, carpooling, school sports, and mini vans.

Example:
Mom (in a panicked voice): “Doctor, I’ve been so forgetful lately. I can’t sleep and I have so much to do that I can’t relax. What is wrong with me?”
Doctor: “It’ll be ok. It’s a very common disease. You have momitis.”
Mom: “Momitis? Can you cure it?”
Doctor: “No but studies show laughter helps.”
