Parenting by Horoscope

It's Friday night and I am messing around on Baby Center while watching Real Time. I found this awesome tool that let's you see your parenting style and your babe's personality based on horoscope! I read up on Sam, Zayd and myself and LOVED these descriptions of me and the little man.

About the Sagittarius Parent - Cheerful and Optimistic
As a Sagittarius parent, you warm your children's lives with optimism and good humor, and you teach them by example about the excitement of exploring the world. You're an adventurer at heart, and you guide your children in greeting life with the same open-minded curiosity you possess.

Since freedom is one of your primary needs as an individual, you're likely to be a permissive parent who doesn't limit your children unnecessarily. You recognize the importance of certain boundaries and routines, but in general, your philosophy centers on finding truth and meaning through personal experience. You want your kids to discover the world and to draw their own conclusions based on what they find.

Travel, whether real or vicarious, is an excellent way to expose your children to customs and habits different from their own. With your universal outlook, you can help them find connections which at first may not be obvious. You'll invite your diverse array of friends to interact with your children, and you'll encourage your kids in turn to ask questions and make conversation.

About the Aries Child - A Natural-Born Leader
If your Aries son or daughter was born ahead of schedule, it should come as no surprise: Aries children are always pushing ahead of the pack. With an "Are we there yet?" outlook, they are impatient to arrive and get started already!

Aries children possess a passionate, creative, and restless nature. They seem to have more energy than other children, with a vitality that's matched only by their natural bravery. Their "me first" attitude can be a challenge for anyone who has to contend with their high spirits and frequent self-absorption.

Legendary for their straightforward honesty, Aries children tell it like they see it. They can overstep boundaries because they're naturally impulsive and tend not to look before they leap.

As the parent of a young Aries, you're probably no stranger to epic temper tantrums. Yes, Aries children have a hard time keeping their emotions under control, but there's a positive side to this: They don't hold a grudge. Once the fireworks are over, so is their anger.

Since Aries children are great at starting grand projects but not as keen on sticking with them, you'll need to be patient as you guide your child gently but firmly, helping her stay on track.

Also make sure he gets plenty of exercise. Any vigorous activity will be an excellent outlet for his energy, and if it's a competitive sport, so much the better. But be sure he wears a helmet or any other essential safety gear. In their eternal hurry, Aries children tend to be accident-prone.

My Take?

This makes me EVEN MORE EXCITED to meet little Zayd. This description is EXACTLY what I would hope my little tike would be like - adventurous, boisterous, curious, and brave! I just had to get this down on the blog so I can scroll back to it in a few months and years and see how accurate this little experiment was!

As for me, I think this thing is PRETTY RIGHT ON. The only part they might be missing is that I bet having a 1/2 Pakistani upbringing will make me just a little more prone to making rules than the average Sagittarius. :)
