Maternal Drift

The gradual or ongoing detachment from the emotional or behavioral responsibilities of motherhood, often seen in young mothers who had children during their teenage years and never fully transitioned into a maternal role.
Can involve a lifestyle that mirrors someone in their twenties, with parenting taking a backseat.
“She had her son at 16, but it’s like she never grew into being a mom—still out every weekend. Classic case of maternal drift.”
“Maternal drift hit hard after she realized she missed out on her youth and tried to reclaim it.”
“Don’t confuse maternal drift with bad parenting—it’s deeper, like being emotionally stuck between two lives.”

He told the press that he only wanted the crowd to march to the Capital, not takeover the Capital, by revolting. Yeah right! That sounds like his usual "male bovine fecal material"! He's full of it!

Boyfriend material

A guy who has the right qualities in order for him to be your boyfriend. By saying a guy is "boyfriend material", you are saying that he is indeed datable by your standards.
Wow, I hung out with Mark last night and he was caring, funny, and handsome as hell. He's definitely boyfriend material.
