Folks on the internet are constantly making up new terms some pointless, others more useful. But this one is ringing true for many parents of young children.
Gramnesia is a portmanteau combining the words grandparent and amnesia. Its unclear who first coined the term, but it has been appearing on online forums for years.
Maryland therapist and mom Allie McQuaid , who goes by @millennialmomtherapist on Instagram, posted a video in June on this topic with overlaid text that reads: I just heard this term called gramnesia when grandparents forget what its really like having young kids and I cant stop thinking about how accurate it is.
