Every friend group has its designated mom. We know them, we love them, and we can't live without them. What would the squad be without that one slightly responsible friend to try to keep everyone's lives together? If you're sitting here thinking that your friend group doesn't have a mom, you may want to consider that you are the mom. Being the mom isn't a bad thing, it just means you care deeply about your friends. You're the one they can't live without and, at the end of the day, you can't live without them. Here are a few tips and tricks to find out whether you are the mom of the friend group.
1. You always have snacks for the whole squad.
Whether you're studying at the library, spending a day at the beach or getting ready for a night out, you're set to provide your group with the energy they need to keep going.
2. You also always have water with you.
Hydration is key!
3. You are always fully stocked with band-aids and Advil.
You're basically a walking first-aid kit.
4. You pick your friends up when they're down (literally and figuratively).
If one person's down, you all are.
5. You're the personal chauffeur of the friend group.
Someone's got to do all this driving!
6. You give advice to your friends and often enjoy doing so.
You've found yourself second-guessing your major. Maybe you should become a psychologist?
7. You defend your friends with your life.
They have to get through you first!
8. You're usually the one to break up any fights.
It can be tough to be the mediator but someone has to keep the group together!
9. You try to be the responsible one and discipline your friends.
If they actually listen is a whole other story.
10. But sometimes it can be like the blind leading the blind.
You're just experienced as they are, after all.
11. You always have an open shoulder to cry on.
Or two when situation gets rough.
12. You're the squad's biggest supporter and personal photographer.
People might not believe you were there that night but it's because you were just behind the camera!
13. You always get your friends home safe after a night out.
You can't sleep until everyone texts you they're OK.
