Mom brain
含义: The forgetfulness, mental fog, and scattered thinking that many mothers experience, especially with young children.
Mom brain describes the cognitive changes many mothers report — forgetting appointments, losing keys, walking into rooms and forgetting why. It's attributed to sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, and the sheer mental load of managing a household and children. Some find the term validating; others dislike it for suggesting mothers can't think clearly.
