"Then there's the adult of the group. The one who's stuck in peak mom & dad mode 24/7. The adult's parental advisory instincts kick into high-gear whenever a resolution needs to be reached. And like many a parent, the ever changing social media landscape is never immediately apparent to the adult. But who cares if you're a little behind the times if you're the only one on top of you're shit?"
- The Four Types of Friends You Have, Try Guys
The adult of the group, more commonly known as the "mom-friend" might be you if...
1. You are always over-prepared
Band-aids? Cough-drops? Tissues? Sunblock? Advil? Tampons? If they need it, you have it, and there's a 99% chance it is in one of the many bags you have chosen to bring with you.
2. You're always right
The guy who just broke your friends heart? You told he would. Pressing send while she was drunk? You also told her that was a bad idea. Yet, they never seem to listen.
3. You always tell them to drive safe
Instead of saying goodbye, you always yell "Drive safe!" and then freak out if you haven't received a text saying that they're home.
4. You're extremely strong on the outside
Everybody thinks that you can handle everything really well. At least it seems that way. Your weaknesses are never visible, but only because you keep them hidden.
5. You're always telling them to be careful
You're always the one telling them to stop doing stupid stuff. Then, when they don't listen...
6. You find yourself asking, "Are you okay?"
After they're done doing the thing that you told them to be careful doing and they're laying on the floor, you're asking them if they're okay.
7. You're basically a Registered Nurse
When your friends are done crying, you're the one who is bandaging them up and making sure they go to the doctor the next day.
8. You find yourself tired by the time the party is starting
Like, drinking juice while your friends are getting drunk.
9. You always have a ton of snacks
Anytime there's a gathering you find yourself buying way too many snacks. Standing in a long line? It's okay, because you have snacks.
10. You're basically a GPS
There's no need to bring the map or GPS, you basically know how to get anywhere.
11. You're always the DD
It's basically assumed that you'll be the sober sitter for the night, therefore you get to be the DD! Rules are as follows: no puking in the car, keep your seat belts on, and if we get pulled over - your mouth is closed.
12. You order for everyone
Apparently reading the menu is too hard for some people, so as the mom-friend, it is your job to read it to your friends and tell the waiter what they want.
