As a fellow “Mom” personality type, I’ve learned to love this role. Here are some things I’ve noticed for all you nurturing types out there.

  1. You are a morale checker. You’re always the one making sure everyone is happy and having a good time when you are all hanging out.
  2. You carry a big purse with LOTS of things in it. Whether it be sunscreen, sunglasses, or even a first-aid kit for some, you always come prepared.
  3. You make a point to make sure everyone feels included. This quality of a mom personality is quite a great one. You want to be sure that everyone has their place in friend groups.
  4. You’re the nurturer. If someone is hurting, physically or mentally, they naturally want to come to you, and you are just the right person. You LOVE making others feel cared for.
  5. You’re typically the one organizing get togethers. Let’s be real, you're are the planner. You love to organize and plan events and activities for the friend group to do.
  6. You’re the encourager. It is your pride and joy to make others feel great about themselves and what they do.
  7. You’re the advice giver. You’re always there to help guide a friend in making a good decision, and although you’re gentle, you’re honest.
  8. You tend to play it on the cautious side most of the time. While other friends are not always thinking about the consequences of some of their actions, you analyze the consequences of EVERY action you take.
  9. You’re a deep thinker. You tend to be one who is able to have a sense for certain situations and personality types.You love to analyze why people said what they did and the deeper meaning behind it all.
  10. You love to support friends in their accomplishments. You’re the one that attends their events. Whether it be a basketball game, a play, or anything. You name it, and you’ll try your very best to be there.
  11. You enjoy calling over texting. Nothing beats a good ole' conversation.
  12. You're typically the driver to any event. As the more cautious one, you love to be behind the wheel.
  13. You enjoy giving other people rides. Whenever possible. Picking people up is a joy for you.
  14. You love to be in control. If you could have everyone just listen and do what you have to say, life would be so much easier for them... Right?
  15. You typically enjoy baking because, I mean, who doesn't? Making cute decorated cupcakes to your mom's famous chocolate chip ones, it's what you love doing.
  16. You surprise people with little treats. Whether it be a cute note or a homemade cookie, you're always into making people feel special.
  17. But most importantly… You bless the friend group by simply being YOU.

Love,

A fellow motherly person

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
