a mother who manages her child's career, often in entertainment or sports
What is the origin and meaning of the word "momager"?
The slang term momager is a blend of the words "mom" and "manager" and refers to a mother who also acts as the business manager for her child, often in the entertainment, fashion, or sports industries. It originated in the United States in the early 2000s and became widely recognized through Kris Jenner, who manages the careers of her children in the Kardashian–Jenner family and even trademarked the term in 2017. While it can be used neutrally to describe a hands-on, business-savvy parent, it is sometimes used critically to suggest over-involvement or exploitation. The word has since entered mainstream pop culture as a shorthand for mothers who take an active, and often public, role in shaping their children's careers.
