The concept of 'Momism' is male nonsense. It is the refuge of a man seeking excuses for his own lack of virility.

She wants to mother the children while they are young, but never their fathers. True, she may be forced into the role of mother by a man's weaknesses and childishness, and then she accepts the role with dignity and patience, or with anger and impatience, but always with a secret, profound sadness unexpressed and inexpressible.
