To my fellow "mom" friends: happy belated "Mother's" Day!

Without us, who knows how our friends would survive? How would they know to drive safe or remember to drink a big glass of water before bed?

Whether it's because you're a natural motherly type, mature and a control freak (like me!), or just have too much love for all of your friends, here's some signs that you're the "mom" friend of the group:

1. You always tell your friends to "be careful," no matter how many eye rolls you get

2. You're always the one to plan everything and coordinate everyone

Okay so you three are driving with me, and then you two can go with Tyler. We'll meet at the restaurant in ten!

3. You're the one to send out all of the reminder text messages

We leave tomorrow at noon to go up north, see you guys then!

4. You always make lists and make sure that everyone knows what they need to bring

5. And bring extra of everything because you know they'll forget something

6. You always tell your friends to "drive safe" and "text when you get home!"

7. You're the one who talks to the hostess/waiter when you all go out to eat

Don't worry guys, I got this.

8. You have to make sure that everyone behaves when they're in public

"Guys, stop swearing, there are kids around!"

9. You always have everything your friends need in your purse

Advil, tissue, tampons, pens, snacks: you've got it!

10. You always make sure everyone has had dinner before you go out

And no, a six-pack does not count

11. And that they actually stick to the buddy system

12. You're always subconsciously keeping tabs on everyone when you go out

13. And you probably worry a little more than you should about what they're doing

(I have to tell myself to chill out sometimes.)

14. You make sure that everyone has a pillow, blanket and a place to sleep

15. You're always the one to ask if anyone needs water or Advil (and the one who always goes to get the water or Advil)

16. Your friends literally say "Thanks, mom."
