7 Signs You’re the 'Mom' in Your Friend Group

Every group of people has that one person who’s overly careful and protective. They say things you thought only your mother said, remember stupid details that everyone else forgot, and try to tell you that you’re a special little snowflake every chance they get. You already know exactly what I’m talking about and have someone specific in the back of your mind, and if you don’t then it’s probably YOU. If it is you your friends will usually let you know by insisting that you relax, and the sarcasm-filled, “Thanks, MOM!”

So, if you think you might be the mom of your group here’s a checklist for you to go over, see how high you score. And if you’re like me and you KNOW that you’re the mom of a cluster of your crazy peers, then just embrace this list as a sign that you aren’t alone!

7. You remember Birthdays and Anniversaries.

If you remember more of your friends Birthday’s/Anniversaries then they do you are probably a mom. Bonus points if you have gotten them a Birthday cake or helped them find a last-minute Anniversary present.

6. You handle the “boo-boo’s.”

Oh, you need a band-aid? Your stomach hurts? You think you have a concussion? Don’t worry, I have an ice pack, a stethoscope, and a 500-count bottle of ibuprofen you’ll be fine.

5. You keep calm like a boss.

When things go wrong, you put on your big girl pants and handle business. No matter how loudly you’re screaming inside.

4. You insist on a plan.

I need plans A through Z before you can leave looking like that. Where are you going? Who are you going with? Who’s driving? When are you getting back? Is your phone fully charged?

3. You come prepared.

What do you mean I didn’t have to pack a parachute? Do you have any idea how many people die from falling every year? Not you that’s for sure!

2. You can tell when someone’s lying.

Better than any polygraph

1. You know where EVERYTHING is.

Did you check under the farthest couch cushion from the door? You always now where the charger, the left shoe, and “that thingy I had yesterday” are hiding. Like a heat-seeking mom-missile.

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.
