A North American informal word for the state or experience of being a mother, particularly the all-encompassing identity that comes with raising young children. It captures the lifestyle, culture, and social world that surrounds motherhood — mummy blogs, parenting groups, school runs, and the complete absorption of personal identity into parental identity. Used affectionately or with gentle irony, it acknowledges that motherhood is not just a role but an entire lifestyle ecosystem.
She'd fully embraced mommyhood: the diaper bag was designer, the stroller was a luxury model, and her Instagram was ninety percent baby photos.
