Most friend groups have that one person who's "the mom". I'm lucky enough to say that my best friend is my "mom" of my friend group. If you can relate to some of these signs, chances are your best friend is your second mom, too.
1. She makes sure you're fed
She always asks if you've eaten. She knows all your favorite and least favorite foods. This is one of the best signs because she's always ready to get what you want when yo guys hang out. Sometimes she'll even bring snacks.
2. She drives you around
Whether she's the better driver or not, she's probably taking you home or picking you up from whatever gathering you guys are at.
3. She feels responsible for your actions
The good and the bad. When you accomplish something she's so proud of you. If you mess up she feels the need to apologize to everyone for you.
4. She makes sure you get some sleep
Especially if you have plans for the next day, she won't stay up all night talking to you when you sleep over. She makes sure you get your sleep. If you come into school super tired she'll probably get mad at you for not going to bed earlier.
5. She makes you wear sunscreen
She always brings a bottle because she knows you're going to forget. She yells at you to put some on and she will yell at you when you undoubtedly get a sunburn either way.
6. She stops you from doing anything too stupid
Fun is fine. She's still a friend and not an actual mom. But if any sort of teenage adventure or shenanigans get out of hand, she's the first one to calm things down before things get too crazy.
7. She has an opinion on all of your friends
Especially the boys... and she's usually right.
8. She makes all plans
The rest of your friends and you will sit around wondering what to do but luckily you have your mom friend that's always ready to swoop in with some sort of fun plans for the day. If anyone else in the friend group comes up with something it probably won't work out and will end in your mom friend saying "this is why I make the plans."
9. She keeps you and your friends in line
You and your friends sometimes get loud together in public. Luckily you have your mom friend to hiss at you to settle down before you get kicked out of some nice place.
10. She keeps you motivated
She knows all your dreams, hopes, and goals and never lets you give up. She's always over-the-moon with pride when you succeed, too.
11. She constantly checks in on you
Whether or not she sees you every day, she always wants to know how your day was and if you ate enough and got enough sleep (see 1 and 4).
12. She makes sure your outfits are on point
She will never let you leave the house looking like a fool. She's also the first person you send a picture of your outfit to before you go out.
13. She loves you no matter what
Like a mother's unconditional love: no matte how many times you mess up and she has to cover for you, or if you do something stupid she told you not to: she will always love you and be there for you no matter what.
