Every group has the friend that takes care of the rest. If these sound familiar, you’re that friend.

1. You constantly feed your friends regardless of their hunger levels.

Oh, you’re not hungry? I don’t care; I made an entire pot of Kraft mac and cheese just for you. You feel the internal need to stuff your friends full with snacks and drinks.

2. You’re always reminding them about things they forget.

Do you have your keys? Don’t forget you have an appointment tomorrow! You’re not leaving without your jacket, its freezing!Whatever they’re forgetting, you’re the one to be on their case about it. Who needs a planner when you have a “mom” friend?

3. Their accomplishments feel like your accomplishments.

You feel nothing but pride every time they achieve and maybe even feel personally responsible for helping them get there. A win for them is a win for you.

4. You’re the tour guide and concierge everywhere you go.

In unknown territory, you’re usually the leader of the pack. You always have carefully researched where the hotspots are and have practically memorized the Google map of the area. Every adventure is planned down to the minute when you’re around.

5. You have a “Mary Poppins” purse.

Chapstick? Hair tie? Snack? Got it. Whatever your friends need, its bound to be somewhere in your bag. You could survive a significant amount of time during an apocalypse solely off the contents of your bag.

6. You’re best friends with their actual moms.

Well, it makes sense. Why wouldn’t their mothers adore the person making their lives easier? When your friends ask their parents for permission, name-dropping you results in an automatic “yes.”

7. You’re there for them when they’ve had one too many drinks.

Whether its holding their hair back or confiscating their phone, your friends can always depend on you to keep them out of trouble when they’ve had a bit too much to drink. And you’re always there with water and Advil the morning after.

8. You’re always the first to go to bed.

A mom’s got a tough job and they deserve their beauty sleep. Despite your friends calling you a party pooper, you’re usually the first to hit the hay no matter the day of the week.

9. You worry about them endlessly.

You always force them to text you the second they get home so you know they’re safe and freak out if they don’t text you on time. No matter what, everyone’s wellbeing is always on your mind. And you’re usually the first one to object to risky endeavors.

10. But these are the reasons they love you.

Let’s be honest, your friend group would be a mess without your maternal instincts. They love that that they can always count on you for some advice or a warm meal. After all, a second mother never hurt anybody.

If these signs sound like you, congratulations, you’re the “mom” friend. Without you, your friends would most likely be starving and lost.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
