Moms are a special kind of person. They are there to keep us safe, healthy, and happy, and they will do anything to accomplish that. And that implies doing some "mom things."

Even though they are all different, they worry about the same things, and they are saying the same things. Listening to some other people’s moms is like hearing your own mother.

And even though we are not always in the mood to listen to what they have to say, we know that they are motivated by their concern for our wellbeing. We cannot but smile at these examples of true and deep love.

People on Reddit shared some of the things that their moms do, and they are adorable. Check it out, maybe you will recognize your own mom somewhere in these.

1. When mom calls…

“Mom 1 min ago: “Where are you??”

Mom 2 min ago: “Why aren’t you picking up my calls?”

Mom 3 min ago: “You are normally home at 5:32pm on the dot, it is 5:33pm, are you home? Where are you?”

Then you call her back less than a minute after the last call/text and she doesn’t.”

2. This one is a classic…

“Be sure to use the bathroom before you go anywhere. You never know when you’re going to find the next one.

I live 2 minutes from work and still use the bathroom before I leave.”

3. You need to sleep more.

“Hearing a ‘fact’ from an ‘expert’ on the news once and believing it forever.

i.e. My mom still thinks I should be getting nine hours and fifteen minutes of sleep after hearing that figure on the Today Show over a decade ago.”

4. Scary vacuum cleaner.

“Vacuuming when they’re angry so everyone knows they’re angry and everyone is super uncomfortable and it’s loud and scary and I just want to die.”

5. Adrenalin rush.

“Moms are freakishly strong when they need to be. I remember my wife running away from a pissed off skunk, one kid in each arm.”

6. Just in case….

“While driving with you in the passenger seat they throw their arm across you if they have to hit the brakes.”

7. "Stop that"

“Tom! Dave! Brad! YOU! Stop that!”

8. Oh, so true….

“Temp might get down into the 70s. “Make sure you bring a jacket” – A jacket is what you wear when your mother is cold.”

9. And you wait for the braking noises.

“My mom would angrily wash the dishes. All you would hear was slamming cutlery. It was terrifying.”

10. You have been warned.

“OMG A NATURAL DISASTER/MURDER/MAJOR CRIME HAPPENED IN A COUNTRY YOU WANT TO VISIT ONE DAY. YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER GO THERE. EVER.”

11. Old school.

“Texting with 1 finger whilst holding the phone entirely in the palm of their other hand.”

12. Immediate change…

“Mom screaming at the kids … phone rings … total personality shift! The caller would never believe we were fearing for our lives .03 seconds ago!”

13. In public…

“Licked her fingers to straighten out your eye brows/stray hair/etc.”

14. Keeping hydrated is important.

“Me: (describes some type of physical ailment) Mom: “How much water have you drank today?”

Every time.”

15. Mom knows how to make you feel better…

“Mom knows why you hate that bitch Shelby from high school and goes out of her way to casually let you know that last Thursday she saw Shelby at the gum, and goddamn has she gotten fat.

Love you, Mom.”
