momagers
Maternal career controllers
A momager is a mother who manages her child's career, typically in entertainment or sports.
The term blends "mom" and "manager," often carrying a slightly critical edge—suggesting the mother may be overly involved, pushy, or living vicariously through her child's success.
Kris Jenner, who manages the Kardashian family empire, is the archetypal momager: Every young Disney star seems to have a momager hovering backstage.
