11 Things You Do When You Are The “Mother” To Your Friends

Some people never want to grow up, while others have had maternal instincts peeking through for years. It’s time to admit it: you’re the mother figure to all of your friends, and here are 11 things you do to prove it.

1. When they are upset, it makes you upset. You hate to see them sad and you try to do anything you can to make them feel better.

2. When you go out, you don’t drink as much as they do because you know they are going to need someone to take care of them later.

3. You love making breakfast/dinner for them on a normal basis while you ask them about their classes that day.

4. You carry first aid supplies in your purse- Bandages, Tylenol, tissues, and anything else that you think your friends could possibly need at any given moment.

5. You carry extra tampons- Even if your friends don’t look at you as a mother figure, this is just a good habit to get into. You never know when your friend may have an emergency and you’ll be there to have her back!

6. You take care of them when they are sick without even worrying that whatever they have may be severely contagious.

7. You won’t drive your friends around unless they are wearing their seat belts. Safety first!

8. Even after you finally convince them to buckle up, you still throw your arm out in front of whoever is in your passenger seat if you hit the brakes too hard. It’s something your mom has always done, and you just do it out of maternal habit.

9. Someone says “thanks mom” or “okay mom” to you at least twice a day, and it doesn’t bother you one bit.

10. Your friends tease you for how much you LOVE grocery shopping. Everything about it. Right down to sharing recipes with the nice older lady in front of you in the check out line.

11. If they ever needed anything, you would be the first person they would call because your friends know you’ve got their backs almost as much as their real moms do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
