Mombardment

I made this one up.  Actually, I discovered it by accident because of a fortuitous typo.  It means an excessive amount of mothering, a lotta mom, a lotta maternal attention.  There’s no value judgment in the word; it can be both positive and negative.

Positive – All that mombardment when I was sick on Monday really helped me get back on my feet by Tuesday.

Negative – “Did you finish your homework, your piano practicing, your chores?”  So much mombardment is stifling.

I sling words for a living. Always have, always will. Some have been interesting and fun; most not. These days, I write the fun words early in the morning before the adults are up and make me eat my Cream of Wheat.
