Imagine, you are out at the mall with a group of friends when they start acting out and instead of jumping in, you start disciplining. Well, if you can imagine this or have even lived this, then you are the parent of the group.
For myself, I am the momma of the group by a million miles, and you can ask any of the guys I hang out with about this. I have cooked for them, I have told them to knock things off or to watch themselves. I have even gone as far as telling them that if they so happen to take a sip of a drink, to call me for a ride because they will not be touching their car. They do annoy me just like I annoy them, but that's my job as the friend momma and I hope that one day they will appreciate it.
Characteristics a momma-friend would have include that she's always there for you, and your friends she barely knows. She will be there for you even if you want to be alone because she wants you to know you matter and that it's okay to be upset or feel what it is you're feeling. She may have the first jump at any advice you'll need, even if you don't want it. Finally, she's going to put everyone first, even if you are no where near her good side in that moment of time; because like biological mommas, the momma-friend still sees her friends in the Fam group as her "kids" and she won't stop being friends with them for any reason.
So as you sit reading this tiny little story of my life, you're probably wondering what this looks like so let's take a look.
1. You always handle the bill and bill splitting when y'all are out
As the momma, you are the one who asks for the bill and handles the ways to split them. You even cover the tip on the check.

2. As the momma, you're always driving (Unless you're not going with)
You are finding yourself at the gas station once a week because you're the one who is constantly driving from home to the mall, to restaurants, and even the drive thru!

4. You Are Always Cleaning...
Rather it's tiny messes or a whole place, you find yourself cleaning or wiping something up on a daily basis.

5. You Always Talk About Good Choices...
Rather it's discussion of a party or of a date, you're constantly reminding your "children" friends of good choices and how to avoid bad ones.
