10 Things You'll Understand If You're the Mom Friend In Charge
Alexa DeClue

You stick out like a sore thumb, but you don't know how to do it any other way. We didn't choose the mom life, it chose us. No matter the friend group, here are 10 things that the mom of the friend group can understand:

1. You're always the DD

You've just accepted that everyone will end up piling in your car on the nights the group decides to go out. People are yelling over each other and you wonder if your sanity has left you, but you would rather be driving the crew over someone else.

2. You're the only one who questions things before doing them

Really, fam? You are normally the one saying "is this really a good idea?". And the answer to your question is normally no but all your friends are already off doing whatever it was.

3. You always seem to be the go-to person for any questions

People come to you for relationship advice, troubling problems, and to just get whatever is on their mind out. Just keep nodding and let them know that they are valued and you are always there for them.

4. Getting you to go out and have fun is the ultimate challenge

Okay, here is the thing, you don't really want to go out. Because that means staying up past your bedtime of like 10:30. So are you really sure you want me to come and be a party pooper?

5. You always have snacks

Your friend is complaining about how hungry they are and you just pull snacks out of your bag. Like, don't worry because I am always here for you fam.

6. You always come prepared

Get hurt? I got bandaids. Need a pen? I got like 10 extra. You are always the kind of person that plans out all the different scenarios in your head so you pack everything you could possibly need.

7. You're everyone's moral compass

Sometimes your friends just need a little push in the right direction. They know what they want but don't really want to say it, so you just say it for them.

8. You always try to go the extra mile

You want your friends to happy, so you always put in the extra work. Whatever it takes.

9. Your dream weekend has you acting like a grandma

Everyone is wanting to go out and you would be happiest just staying home and reading a book or watching Netflix. May sound boring to other people, but to you, that is the perfect weekend.

10. At the end of the day, you love being the mom of the group

Taking care of your friends can be a chore at times, but you couldn't imagine your life any other way. Being there for them gives you purpose in your already crazy life.

Be the mom of the friend group and be proud of it.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
