I’m not sure how I became the Mom of my friend group. It just kind of happened that way. In fact, for as long as I can remember it’s been natural instinct to take care of everyone I know, and especially people I don’t. At the end of the day, it’s a thankless job to take care of grown-ass people, but someone has to do it.

1. You Know Everyone’s Story

When you’re the only one sober you actually remember what drunkies tell you... and believe me no matter how many times you try to un-hear what you heard, you just can’t.

2. You’ve Cleaned Up More Throw Up Than You Like To Admit

If you ever do have children, you feel prepared. Puke and other bodily functions no longer phase you. You can honestly admit that you have worn other people’s throw up for longer than you liked.

3. You’re Always DD

And honestly, you’re ok with that because at least you know your friends are safe in your hands. And there's nothing better than a late night jam session, am I right?

4. You Have A Sense Of Humor

Taking care of your friends is a constantly changing routine, but you learn to adapt to whatever situation you’re in. And not to mention, develop a kick ass sense of humor, because if you don’t laugh you most definitely will lose your sh*t.

5. You Don’t Get A Day Off

Just ONE time you wanted to be the drunk one. But no… someone decided that finishing a bottle of Whiskey all by themselves was the best idea, and boom, you’re back on duty.

6. You End Up With Everyone’s Sh*t

You carry a big purse because at the end of the night, you have 4 phones, 6 credit cards, and everyone’s IDs. Some nights you even end up carrying pairs of boxers and other strange items you wish you weren’t. You might as well invest in a backpack, it'll give you less back problems than your heavy purse.

7. People Know You’re The Mom

Who am I? The better question is who are YOU, random drunk guy. I’m not sure how many times guys have tried to impress me at the bar in order to take my friends home with them. The answer is no, she’s not going home with you, because quite frankly you’re gross and she’s way hotter than you. Sorry buddy, better luck with the next Mom!!

8. You Wonder What People Think Of You

Am I dressed like a Mom? A MILF? God please tell me I’m at least a MILF. But then you realize you’re unapproachable no matter what you're wearing because you have constant worry on your face all night. Did she really just take another tequila shot? Ugh, time to step in.

9. Your Friends Actually Call You Mom

And you wouldn’t have it any other way.
