mom, such as "eat your vegetables."  There's no definition for that given in
OED.
   We'll check Newspaperarchive for the above.<

Philip Wylie may have coined "momism."  1942 sounds about right for the
article(s) he wrote, on the subject of what he thought of as a pernicious
attribute of American family life, that appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post.
He was a SEP regular series fiction writer.
