When You're The Mom Of Your Friend Group

When you are the one everyone looks to for guidance. And snacks. And advice. And a cardigan when they get cold.

When you’re the mom of your friend group

Sometimes, you don't need to have kids to be a mom

1. You always buy people food…

2.…And cook them food...

3....And you make sure that they're eating enough

4.You always pick up clutter around the house

5.You know where everything is, even when it isn’t yours

6.You volunteer to do peoples laundry

7. You are the one to keep the peace between friends when a fight breaks out

8.You are always offering to drive people places or be the designated driver

9. You are the one who takes care of people when they’re sick

10. You wait up for your friends to come home before going to bed

11. You always have them text you when they get home so you know they’re safe

12. You are prepared for every tragedy: tissues for sneezing and crying, Band-Aids, tweezers, peroxide, wet naps, hand sanitizer, a granola bar, and a little sewing kit if someone loses a button on their shirt.

13. Wine has become your drink of choice

15. You are the master at sneaking in snacks and drinks in the movie theater for every one (I even brought a feather duvet cover for a blanket once)

16. You are responsible for gathering your friends up when you’re all going somewhere (which is a bit like herding cats. Sometimes drunk cats.)

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.
