Mothers always know best. So why would you ask anyone else for advice? Check out these texts that you totally sent your mom when you first got your own place — and all of the responsibilities that came with it.

When You Forget You Are An Adult

Electricity doesn't just magically appear like it did back home. You actually have to pay for it now.

When You Try To Cook Like Her

You probably never watched your mom cook all those meals for you. Now you are kicking yourself for not paying even the slightest of attention.

When You Think Your Mom Should Know Before Your Doctor

Moms always know best. Although, you should probably see a doctor once in a while.

When She Knows Boxed Wine Isn’t Always Acceptable

Boxed wine is amazing and cheap. But YOU look cheap when you bring it to a party.

When She Knows How To Bring You Back To Earth

Taking care of animals was so much easier when you lived at home. You just had to play with them. There was none of this feeding and walking stuff.

When You Remember That Old Sweater You Left At Home

Using your parent's house for storage is a great idea. Until you forget about something for a few years, or ten.

When She’s Your Emergency Contact

Nobody likes having to call AAA. It's easier to just call your mom and complain.

When She Lets You Know If You Are Breaking The Law

Certain things might not seem like a big deal to you. That's why your mom is there to help straighten you out.

When She Doesn’t Judge Your Appearance

It doesn't matter what you look like or why you call, your mom is always your shoulder to cry on.

When You’d Rather Text Her Instead Of Asking Someone Else

No reason to look like an idiot on your first day of work. Just text mom for all the answers.

When You Don’t Know How To Schedule An Appointment

When you go 18 years without having to schedule an appointment, it seems like a foreign language to do so.  

When You Need Her To Explain Adult Things

Who better to explain your benefits at work than someone who clearly has experience. And there's no one more qualified than mom.

When You Need A Little Tough Love

It might seem like all fun and games, but life can hit your hard. Mom is always there to check you back in to reality.

When You Need Culinary Advice

Cooking is hard to do. Thoroughly cooking something is even harder.

When You Just Plain Miss Her

Your mom might not be up on all the new lingo and slang, but she will always be there for you.
