What is the essence of being a mom? Is it only found in childbearing? Almost everyone would disagree if you said so.<\/p>\n

A mom is someone who loves and cares deeply, is protective and a disciplinarian, and is ultimately a true friend. It means taking responsibility for another being and putting their happiness as one of your top priorities. Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

You may not recognize it, but if you\u2019ve found some of the things relatable, well, here\u2019s a list of the ways you have always been a certified mom even without having a literal child.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. You\u2019re the mom of your friend group
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re the one who\u2019s always in charge of planning your next outing, reminding everyone of each other\u2019s birthday, bringing extra handkerchiefs, water, medicine, or every kind of phone charger, then you\u2019re probably the mom of your friends.<\/p>\n

Another big sign that you\u2019re the mom of your friend group is that they often ask you for advice. Whether it may be about their love life, work-related struggles, or just general adulting questions, they often come to you for your opinion, and even ask for solutions!<\/p>\n

But most importantly, you\u2019re a caring and nurturing person who supports her friends in any way she can. You also make sure that there are no hard feelings between your friends, so everyone is happy. Take the time to appreciate the mom of your friend group for taking care of you, a.k.a. her not-so-little children!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. You\u2019re the mentor to your officemates
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

It may be because you\u2019ve worked in the company for a while now and you might be in a managerial position or higher, that you\u2019ve become the ‘office mom.\u2019 You\u2019re protective of your team, but you also don\u2019t coddle them if they make mistakes.<\/p>\n

They often ask you for career advice, and you sometimes give it to them unsolicited \u2014 because you don\u2019t want them to repeat the wrong decisions you made. You keep their best interests at your heart and you let them know about promotions or other available opportunities that will help in their career growth.<\/p>\n

As the office mom, your door is always open for conversations when they need someone to talk to about work duties or a space to vent their personal problems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. You’re the go-to \u2018tita\u2019 of your \u2018pamangkins\u2019
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Being single doesn\u2019t really mean you haven’t experienced motherhood. If you have nieces and nephews, you are usually expected to be their honorary parent. One of the major signs you\u2019re a certified mom to your \u2018pamangkins\u2019 is that they genuinely enjoy your company!<\/p>\n

They often invite you to their fun activities or to simply run some errands. You may not always be around or live in the same house but you\u2019re never too far when they need you. You\u2019re also present at times when their parents are physically or emotionally unavailable.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, you are their safe space to enjoy and discover new things. As their go-to \u2018tita,\u2019 you serve as their confidant and supporter, and they trust your opinion because they can ask for advice without risk of judgment. As long as they have your go signal, they feel like they can do anything!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. You\u2019re a \u2018furmom\u2019 or a \u2018plantita\u2019
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Taking care of pets and a variety of plants is absolutely not easy! Just like every mother of a child, being a fur and plant mom comes with great responsibilities. It requires a lot of hard work, time, and financial means to nurture your companions.<\/p>\n

Aside from attending to their physical needs, you\u2019re a certified mom to your pets if you help them learn how to navigate the human world. You spend hours training them so they can make \u2018pet friends\u2019 or socialize with other people.<\/p>\n

In the case of \u2018plantitas,\u2019 you research a lot and ask for information on how to tend and look after your plants, as each and every kind is unique. It may be difficult at times, but you only want the best for your fur babies and green companions.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re probably one of the people who leaves the party early because \u2018I need to water my plants!\u2019 or \u2018My baby Peanut is waiting for me at home!\u2019
\nHow about you? Did you learn what kind of mom you are?<\/p>\n
