The "New momism" is a term used to describe the expectation that women should be perfect mothers, with all of the associated responsibilities and expectations. This expectation can lead to feelings of guilt and anxiety for women who cannot or do not want to meet these expectations. It can also lead to a lack of support for working mothers and can lead to women feeling like they have to choose between motherhood and a career. This expectation can also lead to a lack of recognition and respect for women's work outside of the home.
