Your Personal Name for "Mommy Brain"

My personal fav is Momnesia... but I never get to use it... because I'm ADHD. That's just normal livin' & breathin' round these parts!

Middle of a sentence and keep GOING
= fluffed it (gone) OR
= Now it's time for something completely different (divert into tangent) OR
= Back in the enchanted forest (remembered what I had been talking about)

Middle of a sentence and grinds to a halt (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-DAMMIT) = flatline

Frantic spin through last 5 minutes of cnversation where a single unrelated word fixes it = Jumpstart

The early morning routine = rubbing two braincells together to get a spark

I call it,...umm....I forget.

.

Preggo brain. Or momniesia ...like amneisia (where you forget things. I never could spell so i cant even blame that)! Here is a site i know you will enjoy. it has a topic just for preggers brains! BTW my usual is trying to open the front door of the house with my car keyless entry. the button just wont work...after hitting it about four times i realize what i am doing :P - in no way is our 1970's house any kind of techo that it would ever EVER work with some fancy auto door opener :D

In our house it is usually referred to as a "brain fart". I don't really think it has anything to do with being a man or a woman, more of just being busy and not thinking things through.

No clue...I just know I can go to the store for Multigrain Cheerios and skim milk and come back with BooBerry and 2%! Or shoe polish and cat food. Or onions and dish soap. Stick a fork in me! I'm done! LOL

I used to call it just that "Mommy brain". Now I just call it getting old.

Brain Fart. I have a 3 1/2 yr old and a 6 week old. I am having lots of brain farts lately cause I am so exhausted. Its hard to remember everything these days.

Brain Farts and Momnesia for our family lol

The only thing on your list I have ever done is calling one kid by another one's name. Then again that is actually a rational behavior. Your brain connects behavior with the typical producer of that behavior. An example would be my daughter Christine is the one always breaking things. So when Tommy would break something the first reaction would be Christine!!!!

There are actually a fair few studies as to why our brains take shortcuts like that none of which have to do with being a mom.

So to answer your question I do not have a name for it. Yours is a cute name mind you. :)

Mommy Dementia... or Mommy ADD

I was never like this... until I had my 1st child. It then got worse once I had my 2nd child.
I used to have an amazing sense of memory and recall and organization.
Now I have, Mommy Dementia.
It is not always, funny.

Mommies... have so much to keep track of and do. Every single second.

Jello brain, mush, pudding, quicksand etc.

Having a "Swiss cheese" moment.
