For some women, it’s very hard to admit that they’re mom-material. Maybe that’s you—maybe you think you’re more like second wife/stepmom material. Perhaps you think you’re extremely powerful CEO who just never made time for family material. Or, are you jet-setter, travel-blogger, cocktail-tester material who just makes friends all over the world and becomes like a second mom or aunt to others’ children? Fancy yourself what you like, but if you’re displaying some of these signs, then you’re probably mom material. Don’t be afraid of it; embrace it! It doesn’t mean you need to have children right now, but it does mean that whenever you do decide to have kids, it may come pretty easily to you. In fact, you may be a total natural. Here are sign’s you’re definitely mom material.

You pack snacks

They’re in every purse, glove compartment, and desk drawer. You would never let yourself or anybody else go with low blood sugar for long. And you know exactly which snacks last the longest and deliver the quickest energy.

You’re a major planner

You know that if you don’t leave the house by 3 pm, then traffic will increase your drive from 30 minutes to one hour, and then you’ll miss the pre-cocktails of your friend’s show, and have to get cocktails after to catch up, and that will make you have dinner too late. You think about these things.

You take colds very seriously

If you hear somebody sneeze, you have them in bed with tea, soup, tissues and cough syrup within ten minutes. And if they think about getting out of bed, you see them through the hawk eyes at the back of their head and give them the death stare until they lie back down.

You don’t need to be the center of attention

You know how to have fun, for sure! You can tell a funny story, no problem! But you don’t need to be the woman who gets on the stage at the concert, does the body shots at the bar, or instigates some weird strip/drinking game at the party. Why does this make you mom material? Because you will not be the center of attention when you’re a mom—at least not that type of attention.

You worry about others. A lot.

You spend any free time you have not worrying about your own problems thinking about other peoples’ problems. How will your one friend afford health care now that she’s a freelancer? Will Susan and Tim’s marriage survive Tim’s unemployment? Did Melissa get that rash checked out?
