18 Mom Friends Every Woman Has

18 Mom Friends Every Woman Has

Who knew motherhood would redefine your social circle so much?

Between friends who started having kids early, work buddies, and just having an X chromosome, women of all ages have no shortage of mom friends. And once you actually become a mom, it's a deluge. Daycare pickup, trips to the playground, hanging in the kids' section at the library—mom friends are lurking everywhere.

Have a few (or a ton)? We bet they fall into these categories…

1. The Organic-Obsessed Mom
From bubble bath to baby crackers, this mom refuses to allow anything less than USDA-certified organic touch her child. Don't have organic stuff at your place? Don't stress! She'll bring her own.

2. The Earth Mother
Everything is rainbows and butterflies, wrapped in a cloud of patchouli for this mama. She's fond of dressing her kid in hemp onesies and reusable diapers and appearing puzzled when you ask about her Upper East Side upbringing.

3.The Practically a Pediatrician Mom
She can recite the symptoms of the flu in her sleep and knows 25 ways to cure diaper rash. You call her at the first sign of a sneeze. You will never, ever let this friendship go.

4. The Crazy-Anal Mom
If her kid reaches the age of 18 without ever watching TV or using a smartphone, her life is complete. You would cut her loose as a friend, but you're dying to see if she can actually pull this one off.

5. The Mommy Mom
Her driving goal in life was to be a mom. She knows the names of every "Thomas & Friends" train and listens to the Frozen soundtrack in her car, just because. Good luck getting her to talk about anything that doesn't wear diapers.

6. The Total Spazz
Her toddler's pinky touched the dirt at the playground? OMG! OMG! Nobody panic—she has antibacterial wipes in her pocket! (Of course she does.)

7. The Wannabe Chef
Her kid had cote de boeuf with pan-seared baby carrots last night. That's why you try to invite yourself over to her place for dinner as much as humanly possible.

8. The Way-Too-Laidback Mom
She's a big fan of the 20-second rule, never wipes noses, and loses track of her kid on the regular. You're so nervous that her child is going to seriously injure himself, you spend the whole time you hang out wondering if there's a subtle way you can put him on a leash.

9. The Model Mom
From her perfect, bouncy hair and great personality to her ridiculously well-behaved kids, you'd really hate her if you didn't love her so much. Really.

10. The World Traveler
Her kid's passport photo was taken on the way home from the hospital. Because having a baby is no reason not to stop seeing the world.

11. The Playground Gossip
Did you know Jamie's daycare teacher is having an affair with the head instructor at the local gym? Or that Sara's kid's biting has gotten so bad, she's been nicknamed The Velociraptor? You do now!

12. The Event Planner
She has a mental list of every kid-friendly activity that's happening within a 50-mile radius at all times so you don't have to!

13. The Know-It-All
Been a mom for years? Yeah, you've been doing it all wrong. But don't worry: She'll tell you what you need to know!

14. The Baller Mom
Want to know who would actually buy designer baby perfume? You've found her.

15. The Pinterest Mom
While you were at home nursing a glass of wine last night, she was planning out her daily arts and crafts for the next morning. Her Halloween pumpkin carving of Nelson Mandela's "I Am Prepared to Die" speech won all kinds of awards last year, by the way.

16. The Completely Deluded Mom
She refers to her kids as "my angels," even while Junior is trying to shove your dog's tail in the electrical socket.

17. The Party Mom
She has zero qualms about day drinking and is always down for a moms' night out. She also flat-out refuses to throw her kid's birthday party without alcohol and a karaoke machine.

18. The Regina George
She's cool, gorgeous, and has a serious penchant for trash-talking everyone you know, including yourself. You're, er, kind of afraid of her.
