This troper is definitely the Team Mom of her group. She always (quite often ''involuntarily'') looks out for her Nakama, emotionally as well as physically. This is compounded by her larger-than-the-norm medical knowledge - if someone's injured, she's there to fix them up and send them on their way. Her friends even call her "Mother Arceus" as a joke! (We are huge pokemon nuts.) But she does get called mom in all seriousness; the other day she was out with her friends and one ran up to her, saying, "It's my mini-mom!" and flying into a hug. D'aww.

In this troper's old group of friends (we eventually dissolved out but anyways!) there was a girl who was the group's legit TeamMom. She'd baby us and we'd jokingly call her Mom. This troper is still friends with that girl and calling her Mom is still a joke we still laugh about.

This troper's friend is such a mom that when the youngest member of our Nakama (let's call her Lacy) was being picked on by us Lacy whipped around and yelled "Mom!" instinctively to get our friend's attention. It worked. She has been dubbed "kaa-chan" (mama in japanese) so that we could tease her without her knowing. She found out and now uses our nickname for her to enforce her mothering.

This troper has been referred to as "mom" or "mommy" by the vast majority of her guy friends at one point or another and seems to be the go-to person for romantic advice and health issues. She is deeply entertained by this role.

TruthInTelevision: This troper has been dubbed the "Board Mom" of her home message board. It makes sense, since there's a 2-1 guy-girl ratio on there...

One friend of this troper decided to come to a Disney themed college party as Wendy because, as she put it, she was already the lone female keeping an eye on a bunch of boys who refused to grow up.

This troper finds herself in this position all over the place in her life, both on and off the internet. She has no children, but answers to "Mom" as readily as her own name. One of her friends has been known to call her on it: "Troper, you're doing the mom thing again!" Another friend sent her a t-shirt that says ''Who are these kids and why do they keep calling me Mom?'' She has the same phrase on her personal business cards.

This troper often finds himself being drafted into the TeamMom position when he and his friends play team-based games.

This troper used to be in a WorldOfWarcraft guild whose leader was a woman who fit this trope perfectly. In fact everybody called her the Guild Mom. Real life motherhood got in the way of team-mothering though, and the guild was disbanded. The members started a new one where she joined as a social member. We still refer to her as Matron [name].

This troper is sometimes known as the "Yiddish grandmother" among his own {{Nakama}} for his insistence on his friends staying healthy - if you don't have proper eating and sleeping habits, either mend your ways or don't let me find out about it. Ever. Now, if only I could take my own advice more often...

My older brothers call me Mom. As do my friends. Sometimes to irk me, mostly because they aren't paying attention and it slips out. I don't mind, Mom is close enough to my real name, and I actually bake, sew, knit, etc...

Actually, never mind. After reading both pages, I'm ''much'' more of a TeamDad. I still get called Mom, though.

For some reason, this troper keeps getting nominated for this role without trying, though it's less "Team Mom" and more "Team Big Sister." Whenever her karate class ends and we're told we can "sit comfortable" -i.e., leave stance- she almost immediately finds herself surrounded by a bunch of adorable little guys and girls, aged between five and nine.

Back when this troper still played Warcraft for any notable amount of time, there was one person in her group of friends who was actually old enough to be her mom. One day, she had the next day off school and was online at around 2 am. Her friend was also online, and proceeded to dish out a "Shouldn't you be in bed, young lady?" This troper's actual mom started laughing uncontrollably upon hearing about it.

At least three of This Troper's female uni lecturers fit in. They're not afraid to politely draw a smackdown, try to help out their students as much as they can without breaking uni rules, and are also very sweet outside the classroom.

This troper finds herself moming when she's out with friends, I blame too much babysitting.

This troper recently helped her RPG play a prank on the girl that we dubbed our Team Mom by buying her a big bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day.

This troper is the biggest TeamMom she knows. Friend skips lunch to work on late homework? She lectures them on the importance of eating regularly. Other friends decides, on the spur of the moment, to go to a premiere showing of a long-awaited movie without bothering to buy tickets first? She's on the phone with her mum making sure it doesn't fall through, even though the people in question won't be paying her back for months. Hey, ''somebody'''s gotta do it.

This troper thinks that Karalora is the TeamMom of TVTropes. Just my opinion, though.

That my friend is a statement of fact. Just look at her title! It says "Deadphan snarker team mom" right there!

This troper's friends dubbed her the TeamMom of the group, mostly because, out of all of them, she's the most responsible and great with advice. Also, when one of her kids is threatened, expect the MamaBear to come, full force...

This troper's friends have dubbed her the TeamMom more than once, and it's spread to people who have never been around for those incidents. This troper does tech crew and is the oldest tech on her side of the stage, so she tends to be unofficial TeamMom anyway- the other day, it was her (senior) and a pair of freshman, one of whom started complaining "Mooooom! [other freshman]'s poking meeee! Moooooooom!"

This Troper's got two examples!

Example one, my actual mother. Whenever me and my friends get together for ungodly amounts of [=DnD=], my mom goes out, gets snacks and generally takes care of us. She sees all of both mine and my sisters friends as her children, and is always there for us.

Example two. One of my friends is considered the mom of the group. First and foremost, because she ''is'' a mom, and is considerably older than all of us. Second, she's always there to smack us upside the head whenever we get rowdy and tell us to "Calm down, or go to your room!" She also really, ''really'', doesn't like to be called Mom. Despite the fact that we all call her that.

This Troper has a tendency to play Team Mom to her friends now and then as well. For some reason, it tends to come out more during -- or prior to -- menstruation. Right through from one of her friends worrying about being an outsider to her burgeoning Nakama only to have this Troper refer to her as the Sixth Ranger being pulled into orbit (that managed to get said friend out of her funk by prompting a fit of the giggles from her) through to going all mommy-figure on her friends when they're feeling down or beating themselves up.

This Team Mom, thanks to her "counterpart", Daddy, is now addressed as Mommy by everyone. Including parents. And college professors. And her own mother.

Today during Sunday School this Troper realized that her class would make great characters in a TV show or something. She was thinking about the tropes that apply to everyone and realized that one of the other girls is basically our Team Mom! She's a little obsessed with hand sanitizer and being clean, which means that she has to make sure everyone's hands are clean before we eat anything. When the guys get into arguments or the class clown gets out of control, she'll be the one to scold him to pay attention. She tends to take charge whenever we get off track and has, at times, taken over most of the duties of out actual teacher!

This Troper isn't so much a team mom, but a team babysitter. After too much time babysitting, her sister will accuse her of treating her younger friends like pesky kids. The accusations are sad, but true.

The oldest member of my {{Nakama}} is sometimes referred to as Mom. Though it initially started as a joke, she really does fit the part.

This troper has two moms. One is our director has become the team mom to the drama kids. She's always there to give advice or share stories, and is a really big kid at heart. At conference, we gave up calling her by her name, and just called her Mom.

The other one is one of my friend's mom. She'll offer to drive us around whenever we want to go do something, and even took me and a few friends on vacation to the beach, and paid for our condo by herself.

This troper's best friend's mother is the "official band mom" of her high school band. She always goes on the trips, does marching band uniform fittings, bakes cookies for football games/trips, saved our asses multiple times, and just generally takes care of all 70-odd (this year 90-odd) of us.

I have a few. There is a 62 year old woman on one forum I am on, and she always looks after the teenage members of the forum. Also another of my online friends always acts just like my mum, and is the one who helps me with my problems. Then theres my best friend, who is only a few years older than me and she is the one who taught me to cook, and treats me like I am part of her family. We are often mistaken for mother and daughter as I am small and look young for my age, and she looks a lot older than me.

Lynn was like a mother to me back in high school. Made sure the rest of the drama club was nice to me, convinced me to stop ripping open my zits, and would even offer advice.

This troper is something of an odd case in that her real mom is the TeamMom to the dojo. Dishing out the advice and hugs as needed. More than one child has called my mom "mom". Meanwhile this troper is the JerkWithAHeartOfGold TeamDad for most of the dojo and TeamMom to her own mom. One of the reasons I never want kids, my mom and I basically adopt about 100 or so on any given week.

This Troper's old dinner group back in college had a Team Mom who was literally the glue that held us together. Even the members that some or most of us weren't fond of she'd treat the same, and protect when some got a little mean. Endless patience, too, especially for the more annoying ones. She graduated, however, and some of the members of the group either voluntarily left or stopped going to the school.

I am the TeamMom to an entire varsity tennis team. Someone needs a Band-Aid? Check. Someone forgets lunch money? Don't worry, I always have tons of snacks in my backpack. It doesn't help that I'm ranked #1 and thus set a leadership example to the rest of the team.

This Troper is a huge TeamMom, (occasionally doubling as TeamDad) and has been since she was five. She's usually something of a SixthRanger in her Nakama, and also usually the youngest, but she frequently has people coming to her for hugs and advice, and on a mission trip in ninth grade, she was unofficially put in charge of "tucking in" the homesick boys. She also goes MamaBear frequently in defense of a mentally unstable friend she's been mothering since she was four, and her students in the theatre classes she teaches. To the point she calls them her "babies," and one of the kids calls her "Wendy" and a "cool old lady."

This Troper also volunteers at a public library, and one of the librarians, aside from being a 50 year old GenkiGirl, is TeamMom for everybody who spends much time in the library. She even brings pudding and cookies for the volunteers.

This Troper realized that she was Team Mom on a trip to Europe with her friends, she collected, protected, and distributed passports and boarding passes, constantly counted to make sure everyone was there, and even spent time in the security lines at the airport making people empty their pockets and remove shoes.

This troper is most definitely the Team Mom for her group of friends. Perhaps it comes from being the oldest of five kids, but it definitely comes out, especially with my younger friends. My friends like to tease me about it, even the "fringe" friends who are not part of the core group but flit in and out at will. Usually a chorus of "Yes, Mom" follows a particularly motherly sentence. The most memorable instance was last spring, when my friends and I decided to host our own Easter dinner since none of us were going home. While shopping for the meal, I took two of my friends with me, who teased me relentlessly when they were bickering about something and I threatened to put one of them in the cart if they couldn't act their age. Later that weekend when I served the meal, another friend quipped, "No, Mother must sit at the head of the table." It's a running gag.

This troper is the Team Mom; most of us knew each other through a forum, (at least initially), and I was the admin, so it was sort of natural. Nowadays, I just do my best to keep everyone together, happy, and sane; I've talked like half of them out of suicide, gotten a few of them out of abusive homes, and am always there for advice and comfort. The best, and most amusing, part? I'm the youngest of the group.

One of my friends always keeps us in order, refuses to let us copy homework, scolds us, breaks up fights, and is very cute and motherly. She's also, I think, the oldest out of all of us and my personal nickname for her is Mommy. She responds to this when I shout it out in the school hallways which makes people give us funny looks. And being genre savvy and a big anime fan, I would like to point out that she looks like a anime mom too. We've set up a surrogate family like Tamaki except she's more like Tamaki than Kyoya. I'm the family cat.

Within my nakama, I appear to be the defacto leader/team mom. Whenever we go out anywhere, I will always end up walking backwards, taking a mid-trip headcount, while the only one in the group with a sense of direction has the map. I am also always the one to stop people from crossing the road if I have the slightest incling that a car is coming, and have been told that I tend towards being the "Pacifistic Protector". I surmise that means that, while I am a pacifist, I still look after the group in ways that mean I do not have to fight. Good planning and general cleverness do not count as fighting.

I am the TeamMom for my theater troup. Even when our director (a real mother in her forties) is around, the responsibility to keep us on track, and often getting along, falls to me.

This tropette has a 'rink family' full of figure skaters. Most of the coaches fill this role whenever the actual moms aren't around.

This troper was crowned TeamMom AND TeamDad ever since 4th grade. I was always worried when a kid got hurt and I ended up hanging out with the younger students. Cut forward to ninth grade - I'm still the Mom of my entire class. Some in my class actually called me 'Miss' a few times.

This troper is one, gets the {{Like An Old Married Couple}} treatment with the resident {{Team Dad}}. I act 6, but the rest of them act 4, so yeah. I'm really 13.
