16 Proofs You're Both The Mom Friend AND The Dad Friend
Ashlyn Ren Bishop

Who said that you can only be a mom-friend or a dad-friend? Where's the fun in that? Especially when you're the perfect combination of both.

If you're both a mom-friend AND a dad-friend, then you can probably relate to everything below, if not more unlisted ones. Have your wine and cake or chips and beer, and enjoy them, too.

Your Mom qualities...

1. "Text me when you get home!"

2. Always baking or cooking food to bring over for your friends

3. Checking up multiple times when they're sick or upset, or just 'cause

4. Frequently pass up a night out for some alone wine-time

5. Always over-pack or over-plan when you and your friends plan to go somewhere

6. This means you've always got things like pain meds, snacks, drinks, etc. ready at all times

7. Always reminding friends to do things and babying them, even over small things

8. The first to help out a friend or person in need


Your Dad qualities...

9. Makes terrible puns and poor quality jokes frequently

10. Loves food and eating it more than you'd like to admit (and probably eat everyone else's food when they aren't looking)

11. Just goin' with the flow

12. Likes to do dumb things without thinking too much about it

13. Adventurous and down for spontaneity

14. Doesn't try hard (or at all) when you leave the house or hang out with friends. You just grab and go


15. Drink beer pretty much daily and love every sip


16. Can be pretty ignorant and not always know your limits


Sometimes you can't just be one parent-friend, you gotta be both! And that makes you the best of both worlds.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
