User:Mombotomy

mombotomy, n. (mumbotomy, British) A psychosocial disorder increasingly prevalent in Generation Y mothers immediately following childbirth. The symptoms are similar to those experienced post lobotomy,  as the mother's personality is generally unrecognizable post-delivery and friends and family members rapidly feel alienated by the new mother.

In addition to the gradual estrangement of friends and family, mothers who have undergone a mombotomy, generally exhibit several of the following symptoms:

* Difficulty concentrating or thinking about anything but the baby. * Hypomania, including delusions of grandeur post breast-feeding sessions. * Protracted breast-feeding practices (past the 12 month mark). * Nutritional deficiencies present in baby, due to diet consisting solely of breast-milk. * Self-neglect of hair/and or lack of concern for dress. * Incessant Facebook status updating about the baby's bowel movements, sleeping patterns, projectile vomiting, or anything else related to the baby's daily activities. * Lack of pleasure in all or most activities except those related to the baby. * Refusal to engage in any social activities, unless the baby is present. * Negative feelings towards one's career and eventual abandonment in order to become a full-time caregiver, whilst attempting to supplement former salary by flogging felted, beaded, crocheted, knitted, painted, sewn, or other poorly constructed wares on virtual crafting marketplaces.
