"Do you have ibuprofen?"

"Have you seen my earrings?"

"Can you carry this?"

A Mom friend's job is never done. We must relate to our peers yet provide wise advice for them to just ignore (only for us to be proven right later). We must also be prepared for all contingencies, like preparing for a zombie apocalypse. But despite all of these appointed responsibilities (Mom friends are rarely self-appointed), being a Mom friend doesn't suck. Here are the top 5 reasons why:

1. Your friends know they will be safer with you around

Even though it may suck making sure your drunk friend is taken care of, they are safer with you around. They may not say it, but they are grateful for your intervention. Because at the end of the day your sense of responsibility may have saved them from making dumb decisions that could ruin their lives.

2. People respect you

Responsibility + Dependability= A Good Reputation

3. You learn to listen instead of talk

People are always going to want to talk about themselves. You may not want to hear it, but they'll tell you anyway, so why not just shut up and listen?

4. You will always have what you need

Who's got ibuprofen? Anyone? Anyone?

5. Your dependability will make you a better employee and a better parent

Just because you're a Mom friend doesn't mean you can't show the world your wild side. So the next time you're lamenting your Mom friend status, remember that you're allowed to let loose and have fun too!! The title of a Mom friend just means you're a good person, not a prude.
