Mumsplaining

Where a parent steps in a bit too quickly to speak on behalf of children purely (in their mind) to make a social setting run a bit more smoothly.

See Sydney Morning Herald, July 3, 2022: Opinion: Can we please cut down on the mumsplaining? Stephen Brook
Adult to Child: “Which school are you going to go to?”
Before the child can answer the child’s chief communications agent and PR manager (i.e. mother) mumsplains (mumsplaining): “She is going to the local school like her older sister and brother,”

Me- SHUT UP I DIDN'T ASK YOU. Rude...stop Momsplaining

EX. 2:
Me- "Hey Mom, the light bulb is out in my lamp upstairs."
Mom- "Did you try changing it ?"

Me- *sarcastically* "No I didn't, I'm just a blithering fucking ninny and I didn't think of that at all! YES, MOM, I TRIED CHANGING IT FIRST. IT'S STILL NOT WORKING." smh

Mensplain

When a male finds the need to explain the meaning of mansplaining to a female
My wife told me to stop mansplaining, when I was really just disagreeing with her interpretation of the situation. I decided that was not the time to mensplain.
