You Know You're The "Mom-Friend" When

If you find yourself doing these things, you're probably the "Mom" of the group.

You Know You're The "Mom-Friend" When
The Radical Notion
"Then there's the adult of the group. The one who's stuck in peak mom & dad mode 24/7. The adult's parental advisory instincts kick into high-gear whenever a resolution needs to be reached. And like many a parent, the ever changing social media landscape is never immediately apparent to the adult. But who cares if you're a little behind the times if you're the only one on top of you're shit?"
- The Four Types of Friends You Have, Try Guys

The adult of the group, more commonly known as the "mom-friend" might be you if...

1. You are always over-prepared

Band-aids? Cough-drops? Tissues? Sunblock? Advil? Tampons? If they need it, you have it, and there's a 99% chance it is in one of the many bags you have chosen to bring with you.

2. You're always right

The guy who just broke your friends heart? You told he would. Pressing send while she was drunk? You also told her that was a bad idea. Yet, they never seem to listen.

3. You always tell them to drive safe

Instead of saying goodbye, you always yell "Drive safe!" and then freak out if you haven't received a text saying that they're home.

4. You're extremely strong on the outside

Everybody thinks that you can handle everything really well. At least it seems that way. Your weaknesses are never visible, but only because you keep them hidden.

5. You're always telling them to be careful

You're always the one telling them to stop doing stupid stuff. Then, when they don't listen...

6. You find yourself asking, "Are you okay?"

After they're done doing the thing that you told them to be careful doing and they're laying on the floor, you're asking them if they're okay.

7. You're basically a Registered Nurse

When your friends are done crying, you're the one who is bandaging them up and making sure they go to the doctor the next day.

8. You find yourself tired by the time the party is starting

Like, drinking juice while your friends are getting drunk.

9. You always have a ton of snacks

Anytime there's a gathering you find yourself buying way too many snacks. Standing in a long line? It's okay, because you have snacks.

10. You're basically a GPS

There's no need to bring the map or GPS, you basically know how to get anywhere.

11. You're always the DD

It's basically assumed that you'll be the sober sitter for the night, therefore you get to be the DD! Rules are as follows: no puking in the car, keep your seat belts on, and if we get pulled over - your mouth is closed.

12. You order for everyone

Apparently reading the menu is too hard for some people, so as the mom-friend, it is your job to read it to your friends and tell the waiter what they want.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
