Everything you know if your mom is your best friend

Talk about your ride or die since day one


From the day you were born, who has been by your side? The answer to that is your mom. She is the reason why you are here today and why you have become the person that you are.

Mothers are our caretakers. They spend each and every day doing things for us. They have all been in the same positions that we, as teenagers, are going through.

As we grow up we have a decision to make. We can either tell our mom everything, which is what most mothers would want. Or we can choose to lie and keep things from them. That is what separates a mother and a best friend. But if you are able to combine the two, it’s creates an incomparable relationship.

Every mom wants to know what their child is up to. Some are more strict than others, but at the end of the day you are alike in some sort of way. They aren’t just a person you decided to become best friends with one day. They are literally the reason that we exist. So really they can’t even compare to other friends.

Here are a few reasons why moms make the best friends out there:

She will always have your back

No mother wants to see their child go through something alone. Moms will always defend you, even if they know you are wrong. They may yell at you discreetly, but at the end of the day they take part of the blame with you. They won’t let people talk about you in a negative way. You are a huge aspect of their life, not just a little part of it. Other best friends may betray you one day and leave you hanging but moms always seem to be there right when you need them for protection.

She will never judge you

Your mom is not going to judge you because of one bad decision, experience or encounter. They understand that we are all kids, still learning and experimenting. Some of us may be the weirdest people out there but if you are, your mom most likely shares some of that awesome weirdness with you. We share many of the same traits and that is why we get along with them so well and butt heads with them so often.

She gives the best advice

People who always say, “Mothers know best,” are right. Your mom has most likely been in the same situation before or at least one close to it. They have grown up and learned from their mistakes. They aren’t going to give some immature, unnecessary advice. They know what you should do in every situation. They get that we don’t always make the right decisions and they know exactly how to handle it and make sure that we learn from it.

She wants the absolute best for you

No good mother is hoping that their child fails in life one day. Some moms work day after day, night after night, just so they can give their child better than what they had. Moms are always rooting for their child to do their best at every single thing they try. Whether it is sports, school, a job, or a relationship, your mother wants you to succeed and will be your biggest cheerleader along the way.

She will drop anything to hang out with you

Your mom will almost always put you first. She isn’t going to ditch you to go hang out with her other friends or go on a date if you need her to be there. They love hanging out with their kids. To some, it is their favorite thing to do. Especially when you move out of the house because they will miss you like hell and take every single opportunity they get just to hang out.

She knows you the best out of anyone

Yes, you can have some of the most amazing best friends. But your mom has watched you grow ever since you popped out of her in that hospital bed. You may try to fool her or tell her a lie, but she can see right through it. She knows when you are at your happiest or at your saddest. She may question you like crazy, but it’s just because she knows something is up. Other people sometimes just don’t get it, but you can always count on your mom to understand where you are coming from.

She will never leave

Moms aren’t like your ex-boyfriend or ex-bff. Nothing is going to separate her love for you. She will always no matter what be standing right there for you. Yes, you both may get into one of the biggest fights ever where it seems like you will never talk again. But realistically you both will get over it and realize that whatever the fight was about isn’t worth it. Everyone in your life could leave you because of something, but moms usually stick around.

She loves to embarrass you

Yes, you may hate that aspect so much right now, but it’s cute. They love you and they love to share those horrifying stories that you wish no one else heard. They are proud of who you are and want people to see that silly side of you. They know that everyone has embarrassing moments and they find so much pleasure in making you blush in front of your crush or giving your friends something to joke around about.

She will hate anyone that has ever hurt you

With other friends there is always a possible conflict of interest. But with your mom, you can count on her being just as angry at your enemy as you are. No mother will let their child be bullied, hurt or upset. They will share in that anger that you have and do whatever you need. Maybe thats just sitting and talking about how mean of a person that enemy is or maybe its going out and doing something to take your mind off of them. No matter what, they will like whoever is nice to you and hate whoever is mean to you.

She knows when you are telling the truth

For some this may be viewed as a bad thing. But lets be real…no lies are good. Our moms are looking out for us and won’t just let the lies go. They know when you’ve done something wrong and won’t just be the friend to let you keep doing it. They won’t take any crap that we give them. They aren’t our fake friends, they are our real ones.
