The 22 Moms You Meet at Summer Cookouts

She's the loner in the corner who doesn't know anyone and is too shy to get herself in the mix.

This is the mom who thinks the get-together is free babysitting for her child and seemingly forgets that she is responsible for him or her. Whether her little one is peeing on the lawn or running near the pool, it isn't going to be this mama who will be the one to take control of the situation.

This mom is doing someone a favor — whether it's her spouse or the hostess — by gracing the party with her presence. She's just there only to show her face and is planning to make a swift exit as early as possible.

There are two things you can count on with this mom: she will be late and she'll make a grand entrance when she does arrive. When she comes, she always has a beautiful offering in hand and makes sure that all of the other guests have a chance to see her Instagram-worthy contribution.

This mom has worked hard for her hot bod and isn't shy about showing it off to anyone and everyone.

This talkative mom doesn't let anyone else at the party get a word in and doesn't even notice that others are trying to escape being caught outside with her and her never-ending conversation.

She's the one who shows up late complete with a crying kid, forgotten swimsuit, and disheveled store-bought pasta salad, but at least she made it!

This mom isn't there for the food or the company — this is the closest she's going to get to relaxing out in the sun and she's going to take it!

This organic, gluten-free, kosher, vegan isn't about to let her kiddo touch a treat that he or she shouldn't be snacking on.

There's always a complaint or an issue with this mom. No matter the type of event or guest list, she's bound to have some sort of problem.

This is the mom who isn't spending any time with the adults. Instead, she's over by the kiddos, overseeing their activities and making sure that everyone is having fun and not damaging the property.

Although this isn't her house, this mom takes pride in her barbecue talent and is hanging by the grill to show off her skills.

This mama is bored out of her mind and doesn't have a poker face. Whether she's trying to hide it or not — everyone knows she's less than impressed and ready to move to the next soirée.

This mom and her partner are notorious for being the party animals of the group. No matter how dull the atmosphere or how burnt the burgers, they can turn any lame gathering into a memorable event.

This is the mom who isn't into anything outdoors — especially when it comes to cooking or eating. She's being a good sport by chowing down on paper plates but is completely out of her comfort zone.

This mom is not only hovering, she's become the queen of the kids' table and is more interested in the gossip happening over here than she is in chatting with her own peers.

This mom is just so excited to have gotten invited and to be doing something social that she's beyond thrilled with every detail.

It doesn't matter if people are still in the midst of their greetings, this mom is already scoping out the spread to see what damage she's going to do later.

This mom paired her burger with a spiked lemonade or margarita and that's all it took — she's officially plastered to the amusement of all around her.

While she's eyeing the guacamole and piling all of the toppings on to her hot dog, this mom feels the need to make a point of letting everyone around her know that she never eats like this.

Somehow she always happens to know everyone and has a never-ending list of mutual friends with each person she encounters.

This mama came to have a good time and isn't going to let anyone kill the mood. She's always the first to be pouring drinks and the last to go home.
