Momsplaining

Momsplaining is when a mother explains her spouse (in most cases but also to others as grandparents) how to take care of their baby in trivial things as how to hold it/feed it/change a diaper etc.
It resembels mansplaining in the intonation momsplaining is done.
Could you stop momsplaining me? I know how to feed a baby

Enough with this momsplaining! I know my child as good as you do
