Things You Know To Be True If You're The Mom Friend In A Mostly Male Group

The world is a big place, especially when you're 4'11.5". When all of your friends are extremely tall males you feel even shorter, but you also feel super relaxed because those are your boys. I might be small but I'm the mom of my group of male friends and here are a few things I learned from being the tiny boss of them.

1) They literally call you mom and will proceed to say "sorry mom" when you tell them not to do something.

2) Those are your boys and you are beyond protective of them, you will always go to bat for them.

3) You are the mom friend and because of that you constantly try to be the wingman, and threaten to fight any girl that hurts your boys.

4) You yell at them to wear jackets and put hoods on when it's pouring rain (@Dustin)

5) You put your arms in front of them when you stop short in cars just to be safe.

6) You've gotten to the point you yell the wrong names at them.

7) You love them fiercely and take care of them when they need it no matter what time of day.

8) You've put them to bed and literally tucked them in after a long night. Your phone volume is always all the way up even when you go to bed. Just in case they need you.

9) You literally take naps with them and cuddle with them like it's nothing. They literally fall asleep on your lap.

10) No matter what ,they're your family and you would never give up being the tiny mom for anything.


This ones for you loves. I love you and I will continue to be a pain in your ass because I worry like crazy and because I'm just naturally mom like. So stay smiling my beautiful boys.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
