When you didn't ask for her opinion but she gives it anyway and it's rude af. Or just acting like I'm dumb in general.
EX1:
Me- *walks out of the house feeling fly af*
Mom- "You know, that dress is a little t---"
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

The use of words and tone that occurs by mothers. The audience is not limited to children, but can also be used with childless friends. Usually condescending in tone.
You don't understand how much your life changes once you have children.
