7 Signs You Are the Mom Friend

In This Article:

Taking care of your friends is top prioirty. You love them like family, and know that sometimes they act like children, and you need to make sure they are safe. You are willing to do anything for them. There's always a mom friend, and your friends trust you for help with their life. You are going to take care of them whether or not they like, and eventually you can just calm them down with snacks.

You always have snacks

Most people associate the mom friend with the snacks. Usually something small you can give your friends in a pinch, but you also take people to get food when necessary. I personally carry fruit snacks and granola bars with me whereever I go either for me or for my friends. Mom friends are experts at sneaking snacks in anywhere they go just so that way they can save their friends money.

You are great at finding sales, deals, and coupons

Your friends never spend unneeded money. Whether it's suggesting an alternative when grocery shopping to save your friend $3 or making food at home instead of going out (again) or sneaking food places so you can avoid spending any money at all. Many mom friends take on the protective, budgeting personality of our own moms, reminding others that just because you have the money does not mean you should spend it now (hello, rent payments?)

You are almost always willing to be the DD

While having fun is important to you, it's not as important as taking care of your friends. You tend to be willing to give up partying for your friends to be able to have a good time. And you are willing to be the DD even at 3 in the morning when your friends went out without you. You tendc to tell your friends to call you for a drive any time they go out.

You can't go to sleep until your friends tell you they are home safe.

Some mom friends don't always have time to go out with their friends, but they will never stop their squad from looking fierce and heading out. But there is always one caveat with letting your friends go out with you: They better tell you that they made it home safely. I do it with all of my friends, and I sit outside when dropping them off until I see them go inside. Mom friends stay up worrying if they lose contact with their friends while they are out, and feel nothing but relief when they get the text that they are safe.

You are always willing to drive or walk with someone

It's important that you take care of your friends, and one of the number one rules is never, ever letting your friend go somewhere alone. You usually frown upon your friends paying for an Uber or taking a bus when you and your car are nearby to protect them. You are willing to go out of your way to walk with your friends and get them somewhere safe when necessary. No woman walks alone when you are around (you don't even need to know them to walk with them).

You always remind your friends to bring a jacket

But still give yours up when they inevitably forget. That's why you are prepared with a sweater underneath your coat to keep your friends warm. And there's always a blanket in your car. You tell your friends to bring gloves and a hat, and tend not to leave until they bundle themselves up. In the Midwest, you need to be prepared for every season, which means they need to be layering up because if you start cold you may end up hot in a few minutes.

You give the best advice

People come to you for advice on everything, knowing that even when they tell you that they are going to do the opposite of what you suggested, you give your undying support either way. You tend to be the most level headed and your goal is to get your friends back on trawck no matter what. They may not like your advice but they know that it tends to be the best advice that they'e gotten. It may not be their first choice, but it keeps them safe.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
