What It's Like To Be The Mother Of The Group

Always watching out.

What It's Like To Be The Mother Of The Group
sf.racked.com

Every group of friends has the "mom" of the group, and we can all instantly think of who that person is. In my friend group, I am considered the mom. The "mom" of all friend groups is the voice of reason, the person who always has snacks in her purse for everyone at the movies, tells you to stop biting your nails, and always has the best advice for the situation at hand.

You find yourself worrying about everyone for no reason. I constantly try to help people. I mean I guess I'm a Psychology major for all the right reasons because of that quality about me. I always try to be the best possible source for people and especially my friends. They mean the world to me and I would do anything and everything for them.

I feel I am the go-to person when my friends need me. I don't feel used or anything. I find it very sweet and even a compliment that my friends come to me all the time. I'm a great people person and I always will be. Helping people is in my nature and I'm sure of it.

I know how each of my friends works and I know what they like to do. If Pj needs a pick me up, I take him to pet puppies at Pet Palace. If Morgan needs someone there for her, I'll join her to take pictures to get her mind off things. If Anna and I go a week without seeing each other we will go out and search for the best cheesecake in the area that weekend. If Aj needs me, we go to Northern Lights, grab a coffee, and plays a few rounds of chess. If Lexi needs someone, I'll grab a bag of chips and find a stupid scary movie on Netflix for us to watch.

I didn't sign up for this spot. It kinda fell upon me. I am happy to be there for my friends when they need me. I love being with each of them for all different reasons. They all make me so happy in different ways so I always have their back because i know they will always have mine.

I always treat people fairly, with respect, and with love. I hate having or creating enemies for any reason. Even when I fight with my friends it doesn't last more than a day. I can't hold grudges because I care way too much about the friendship. These people in my life are far too important to me.

I don't mind being the voice of reason. I love being in this position and it makes me who I am. It is also proof that I picked the right major. I know this is the right path for me based on my role in my friend group.

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.

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.
