In today’s culture, calling someone “Mom” can have a couple of definitions. One, of course, is actually your mom. Another, can be when friends call each other mom. You have certain qualities that show that you are responsible and can handle a lot at once, just like a mom can. Every friend group needs that “mom.” So, if you are the mom of your friend group, like me, you probably show most of these qualities that make you “the mom."

1. When driving, you make sure everyone has their seat belt on.

2. You are usually the designated driver.

3. ...Or if you don’t drive (which is rare), you make sure they text you to make sure they got home safely.

4. You are one of their biggest fans and top supporters in anything they do.

5. You usually take the leadership role and they can count on you in leading them to the right place.

6. You are usually the peace maker.

7. You usually bring snacks/drinks to every event.

8. Your friends always ask you to remind them about upcoming events.

9. You also know their schedules by heart and help in making them as well.

10. You always tell everyone to be safe in wherever they go because you care about them.

11. They come to you for advice.

12. You know when it’s time to joke around…

13. ...And be when it’s time to be serious.

14. You usually clean up after everyone.

15. You are the groups event planner.

16. You look like you have your life together…

17. ...But you really don’t.

18. At the end of the day, your friends appreciate your mom-ness and you!

Being the mom just makes you more awesome than you were before! Don’t ever be ashamed of it; your friends look up to you.
