20 Signs Your Best Friend's Mum is Also Your BFF

1. You're just as likely to go to her for advice as you are your best friend. Sometimes your own mother isn't appropriate, but a bit of advice from someone that's been through it never goes a miss.

2. She's the first to congratulate you on anything, ​whether it's your new job or how great your eyebrows are looking right now. 

3. You remember each other's birthdays ​and make sure you text them whenever you know it's an important anniversary. 

​ 4. She knows all your worst drunken stories, ​either from your best friend filling her in or embarrassing debriefs around their family kitchen table. 

​​​​5. She knows all about your love life, ​and you know all about hers. If she's single, you've probably tried to set her up with someone or other.

​​6. If your mate has to rush off somewhere or do something quickly, ​you can happily chill with their mum without a second thought. Awkward silences just aren't a thing. ​

​7. You want your best friend's mum to be friends with your mum. ​Like setting two of your friends up. But they're your mums. And you want them to be friends. 

​8. She knows about your eating habits ​and allergies, and still remembers the time you tried to go vegan for a week.

​9. You're excited to go round to your mate's family home, ​mainly because it means you get to see their mum. 

​​10. You sometimes just have conversations over text  ​to catch up and see how they're getting on, ​and you don't have to tell your best friend because it's not 'weird' anymore. 

​11. You feel totally comfortable around her, ​and can happily slob around in your pyjamas with no make up on and probably some garlic breath after a Domino's. 

12. She doesn't judge you ​in the same way your own parents would, which makes asking for advice or crying on her shoulder a whole load easier. 

​13. She still remembers that hilarious 'scene' stage ​you went through when you were 15 and occasionally whacks out a photograph from your best friend's birthday party to laugh at. 

​14. You basically treat them like a family member. ​She's essentially like a cool auntie that you  can chat to about how fit Dougie Poynter is and how much pasta you can eat in one sitting. 

​15. ​You're friends on Facebook. The official sign of friendship amongst proper adult people.​

​16. Your best friend sometimes gets jealous ​about the fact you've spoken to her mum more recently than she has. "Oh yeah, your mum said to say hi by the way."

​17. Oh, and she also gets jealous that her mum ​has been chatting to you about her and how she thinks you're a good influence on her. LOLz.

​​​18. She wants what's best for you ​in the same way your own mother would, only it's slightly different because she doesn't care if you leave your job right before the family party - so long as you're happy.

​19. You know you'd always be welcome to stay there ​if anything awful happened without a second thought. 

​20. It feels like you ended up with two best friends ​despite originally only having one. HOORAY.
