15 Characters Who Might As Well Be Your Mom

at .

According to Urban Dictionary, the "Mom Friend" is "that one friend in your squad that's super responsible and almost over-protective of them. Usually every friend group has a mom friend, and if you think you're squad doesn't have one, then you're probably the Mom Friend!"

Spread across television, we have quite an assortment of Mom Friends. Those that teach, guide, or literally save their friends' lives. They have a responsibility toward their friends that goes beyond the normal standards of just basic best friends.

They may have their moments that they're selfish, mean, or rude, but who doesn't? What matters is their overall performance.

Here's a compilation of some of our favorite Mom Friends!

1. Leslie Knope - Parks and Recreation

Leslie always suffocated her friends with her udying support and affection, especially Ann. She sacrificed herself and her happiness for everyone in her department and went above and beyond to make Pawnee the best place in not just Indiana, but the world.

2. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz - The Big Bang Theory

She may come across as nice, innocent, and perfect, but when you piss her off, Bernadette unleashes that secret dark side that every mom has. She's also a master of the eyes in the back of her head. But even so, her appreciation of her friends is her weakness.

3. Clarke Griffin - The 100

Clarke is like the vicious mom of the pack. She'll do anything to protect her cubs, which she proved in The 100 Season 2 when the Mountain Men took her people hostage to harvest them. She killed hundreds of people to protect her own. Caring, but deadly.

4. Spencer Hastings - Pretty Little Liars

Spencer always seems to be the one Aria, Emily, and Hanna go to for support, though she almost always has a lecture to lay upon them. In good heart of course. And even when Hanna makes her less-than-smart remarks, Spencer's supportive, but always grammatical correct. She's the wise elder mother.

5. Laurel Castillo - How To Get Away With Murder

Laurel is the glue holding together all of the horrors in the Keating house of murders. She's the connection between all of these characters that have torn apart from each other with the growing death count.

6. Laurel Lance - Arrow

Laurel was the rock of the group after Sara's second death. Even as Thea confessed to killing her sister under Malcolm's control, Laurel forgave her makeshift sister, someone she's known for her entire life. Laurel would've made the sacrifice for one of her friends if she hadn't have suffered a pitiful death by Damien Darhk.

7. Caroline Forbes - The Vampire Diaries

Since becoming a vampire, Caroline has gone out of her way and thrown herself into plenty of potentially fatal situations for her best friends and boyfriends. To protect them, with no end goal for herself. She purely loves them that much.

8. Trish Walker - Marvel's Jessica Jones

Trish tried her best to protect her best friend from Kilgrave and the dangers the world posed had they found out about Jessica's abilities. She learned to fight, to take care of herself, so she could take care of Jessica for once and the distraction of protecting her wouldn't be Jess' responsibility.

9. Caitlin Snow - The Flash

It's definitely Caitlin's fault. She cares too much to be part of a superhero team that continuously is tricked by those closest to them, that later turn out to be their greatesst enemy. Nonetheless, she always sees the best in everyone, even after all of the tragedy she's been through.

10. Maura Isles - Rizzoli & Isles

Her relationship with Jane has always been a strange, but thrilling one. Jane always runs into danger, whereas Maura is slow and cautious, warning her best friend of the dangers that could possibly hurt her. Even when it comes to footwear.

11. Karen Kim - Mistresses

Karen is the Mrs. George from Mean Girls of the Mom Friends. She's not like a regular mom, she's a cool mom. She's also the kind of slutty mom. She's comfortable with her sexuality, no matter how many of her friends settle down, and she'll always deal out her best therapist advice to her loved ones.

12. Lady Lola - Reign

Lady Lola literally sacrificed her life for her best friend, Mary, Queen of Scots. Even though the mission was a fraud, Lola believed Mary had asked her to murder Elizabeth, Scotland's rival. She sacrificed her life for her son, her best friend, and her entire country.

13. Scarlett O'Connor - Nashville

Scarlett has always looked out for everyone around her above herself. Avery, Gunnar, Deacon, her mother.. When will she stop being so nice and put her own happiness first? Perhaps it's a fault of hers, but it also shows how dedicated she is to everyone in her life.

14. Jemma Simmons - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Some would say Melinda May is the mom of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. team, but Jemma circumstances should have broken her. When she returned from months on an alien planet, she tried to adjust and push her own concerns to the background to help Fitz, Daisy, and everyone else cope with their own lives. Even when Lincoln died, Jemma was more concerned with Daisy and her reaction. It'll be interesting to see where she goes in Season 4.

15. Sofia Rodriguez - Young & Hungry

Sofia or "Lil' So-So" is the friend that always tells you how stupid you're being to try and get you back on the right track. She may not have her own life together, but she's not going to stop helping you put yours back together. She may be a bit aggressive, but she cares for you more than food.

16. Monica Gellar - Friends

It's not a real "Mom Friend" slideshow without the most iconic Mom Friend of all time. She always cooked for her friends, they always hung out at her apartment, and she hardly ever got angry with them for walking in on her most intimate moments. Monica had the ultimate revolving door, always open for her best friends.
