If you are a – mom who spins like a squirrel in a wheel during the day and hangs in her phone or reads a book in dim light at night instead of going to bed, congratulations: you are – Mombi.
Who's Mombi?
Mombi – is zombie mom, which very tired, but stubbornly does not go to bed. She drags on her life, work, children, sometimes even a husband or a cat, but when silence finally comes, she can't just take it and go to bed. This is her time, her moment of freedom.
Mombi usually stays awake until one or two in the morning, although in the morning you will have to get up early again and drag out your mother's quest again. But this short period of time exclusively for her <TAG1> no mommy duties, no baby – mommy mommy m«, no chaos.
Where did this term come from?
Word Momby <TAG1> is a combination "mom" (mom) and "zombie" (zombie). It appeared on the English-language internet, probably as early as the 2010s, when moms began discussing their strange sleep patterns on social media in droves.
Idea "revenge bedtime procrastination" (revenge for a lost day)" also explains the Mombi phenomenon. It's when people they delay the time before going to bed, because they feel that they did not have time for themselves in a day.
In our case, it's typical for moms who are busy with children and family during the day, and in the evening they can finally do what they want: read, stick on TikTok, watch the series, drink a cup of tea without someone biting off half of the cookies.
Smombie – relative of Mombie?
If Mombi – is zombie momiknay donat sleep for her own time, then Smombie – it "smartphone" + "zombie", that is, a person who walks down the street, stuck in the phone.
Smombies often do not notice either cars or passers-by, because their gaze is fixed on the screen. The term became popular in Germany and even made it into Duden's dictionary in 2015.
Some joke that Mombie turns into Smombie – on the phone in the evening, flipping through social media, although they know it's been a long time to sleep.
How to recognize Mombi?
- She says: «Today I will lie down before», but it goes back to bed at 2 am.
- She's in the morning: «That's it, I won't be like that anymore!», and in the evening: «Well, one more series...»
- In her search queries: «How to sleep in 4 hours?»
- She loves night rest is more than your own sleep.
Can Mombi be cured?
Theoretically – yes. Practically – is unlikely. It all depends on the age of the children, the level of support from the environment and the opportunity to carve out some time for yourself during the day. But for now Mombi rule the world (albeit very tired).
And you – Mombi? 💀😴
