The maternal equivalent of “girl math.” When mentally stressed, resourceful, or street-smart mothers share tips on digital platforms like TikTok and Instagram how they plan their hectic schedules around their children’s sleeping or waking hours, or how they stretch their money to meet their little ones’ needs and wants, without experiencing a mental meltdown.
Mom math is applying home calculus to the family life, by maximizing love, joy, and peace (or minimizing fear, pain, and stress) for family members from limited time or resources.

Get the Meme mommug. Literally means "Do it yourself, Mother."
Used both ironically and unironically by teenagers to denote disapproval to an assigned task given to them by a maternal figure, while also redirecting this mission to the asker as they cannot be arsed at that moment in time to do such a deed.
As is common with slang popular among younger generations, some teachers will try to appeal to the "youngsters" by picking up on this versatile phrase and use it in class as well, often to their dismay.
The interjection 'Mom!' may also be changed to any title (often shortened to one syllable) showing a relationship to the speaker such as Dad, Sis, Bro, Cuz, Dude, Girl, Boss, Boi, etc.
