Ever wondered why your parents are so weird? Wished you could understand what makes them so loony? Look no further... An explaination from the stars brings forth all the answers


*~*~*~*~*

ARIES PARENTS

An Aries parent will have the last word if it kills both of you, and no matter what you did, or how big a medal you got for the accomplishment, he or she will point out at least one thing you could have done better. Or worse, tell you how they "did" or "could" or "would" do it better.
Your Aries mother will expect you to live up to her standards of what she thinks your life should be, which are not necessarily the ones she's set by example.
Ram dads often try to wrestle their two-hundred-pound sons to the ground, just to prove they are still number one. Your Aries father will work hard for the family, and wont be stingy with any money he has jingling in his pocket at the end of the day. Unfortunately there's not much left after dear old dad makes the rounds of the sporting goods store and the hobby shop, then drops by the newstands for the latest copy of Playboy. It's not that he doesnt love you, kid, it's just that he comes first.
However, your Aries Parents will also cheer the loudest, fight for you the hardest, and brag aboutyou until the neighbors lock their doors. It will never be quiet, but your Mars ruled home will also never be dull. Besides, having Aries parents practically guarantees that you will be the first in your class to have your own car. You could do allot worse. So learn to smile, nod, and tune out. Better yet, buy yourself a set of earplugs.


*~*~*~*~*

TAURUS PARENTS

Your Taurus parents will quiz you after dates, search your room regularly, and tell you what you're going to be when you grow up. Dont worry, it's a no-win situation. If you become what they want you to be and are unhappy, they'll conveniently forget they pushed so hard. If you have a mind of your own and use it, they'll snort and blow and threaten to kick your butt out. Just leave when you're ready. The old man will be too interested in the ball game to get off the couch and track you down. And Ma will be too busy stuffing her face in consolation. They will refuse to send money. They wouldnt have, anyway. Taurus parents cling to their posessions till they're dead.
A few years ago, speculation swirled as to whether or not Queen Elizabeth II would abdicate the throne to Prince Charles. The reason she didnt was attributed to his scandalous love triangle that embarrassed the crown. If that's what you and the media want to believe, that's great. Truth is, a Taurus sits on the throne of England, and that's one prized possession.
What do you do in a family like this? Be polite. Learn to lie. Pretend to listen to your parent's endless lectures, and keep marking off those red X's on your calender. They may be boring, blathering killjoys, but they've kept you well fed and bought you a decent car for graduation. Keep smiling until you can race off into the sunset.


*~*~*~*~*

GEMINI PARENTS

Your Gemini home will be eternally cluttered with Mom's latest kitchen-table business and Dad's old highschool buddies. Books, magazines, and newspapers will line the walls, be piled in the corners, and cover every available inch of table space. The good news is that by the time you start kindergarten, you will be reading at highschool level; the bad news is, if you're allergic to dust, you'll need a breathing machine.
Most likely, you'll either be an only child, or have one brother or sister. Gemini seldom have lots of kids because they dont make the best parents on the planet. That's because you Gemini parents have such endlessly long childhoods themselves. Your friends will love your folks because they let them smoke and drink at your house. Whether or not you think this is a good idea is irrelevant and immaterial to your Twin parents since they believe in freedoms of every kind.
Your Gemini mom may not be the best housekeeper under the sun, but that's because she's too busy taking yoga, teaching you piano, and reading the latest Jackie Collins, all after a hard day at the office.
Your Gemini Dad will try to be a good father, but he would rather be your pal and teach you how to pick a winner at the racetrack than about the birds and bees.
Surviving a Gemini family depends entirely upon you. Since your parents are eternal teens themselves, they will give you as much freedom as you can handle to learn everything you want to learn. If you're smart, by the time you're ready for college, you'll be able to skip ahead two years.


*~*~*~*~*

CANCER PARENTS

Living in a Cancer-ruled family is like living with the emsemble cast of a Greek tragedy. Someone always has hurt feelings, is in a mood, has a headache, or is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Get a "C" on a test and your Cancer Mom will put one hand on her breast, sink down on the nearest chair, and ask herself, "what did i do wrong in raising you?" Try to cut the apron strings for a life of your own, and she'll fake a heart condition to keep you home.
Crabby Dad is either aloof and crabby, or the life of the party. Either way, he wont get around to telling you the facts of life, or showing you how to balance a checkbook. This isnt because he doesnt care; it's because he cant bear to think that someday you will leave home. He will be a loving and patient father, be perfectly content to remodel the basement, the attic, or turn the garage into an appartment if he thought it would keep you there.
Cancer parents will wait up, hovering near the phone, and call 911 and every hospital in town if you're 15 minutes late from a date. They are the original worrywarts. They also will save your first tooth and squashed stained bib, stuff you with homemade pasta, and affectionately coo over your baby pictures until you turn 50. And, until they are dead, they will meddle in every facet of your life.
Take care when bringing home a sweetheart for your parents approval. If they like the person, and you break up, they are capable of keeping your old flame's picture on the piano and will wistfully sigh in its direction if you dare to introduce someone new.
Your Cancer home may be emotional, and boringly old-fashioned, but it's also safe, snug and filled with family tradition. When you finally do leave, your weeping parents are likely to hand you a little blue checkbook with a surprisingly large figure neatly printed in the balance column.


*~*~*~*~*

LEO PARENTS

Whether benevolent dictators or absolute rulers, Leo Parents have laws, rules, and curfews. The earlier you understand, the easier life in a Leo-ruled home will be. A Leo Mom wont tolerate any behavior that embarrassed her in public. A Leo Dad probably invented the phrase "Children should be seen and not heard". Both will yell wehn they are angry, which is often. Neither will apologize. They love giving orders, so you might as well get used to it.
Your Leo parents expect you to defer to their judgement, obey without question, and take out the garbage with a smile. They wont like your friends, your hair, or your choice of cars. You will hav tennis lessons, piano lessons, tap dance lessons, and gymnastics coaching under your belt by the time you reach the first grade. Leo parents groom their children to be successful, whether they want to or not.
How do you survive in a home that's more circus than serene? The earlier you understand that you can charm, flatter, or whine anything you want out of any of your Leo parents, the more fun you will have.


*~*~*~*~*

VIRGO PARENTS

Being raised in a Virgo-ruled home is like living in a benign sort of boot camp. Instead of teddy bears, your first toys will be a miniature calculator with brightly colored keys and a piggy bank that snorts when you "feed" it coins. Before you learn the alphabet, you will learn the virtue of saving pennies. And as soon as you can walk to the laundry room, you'll be taught that cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Virgo parents will watch you like a hawk watches a gopher, and will just as instantly, swoop down to correct a word or deed. Mom will white-glove your room on a daily basis and wont be satisfied until she's crawled into the darkest corner of your closet and dug out the dust bunny to hold it under your nose.
Dad will design a mini-work space in the corner of his home office, where you can have the fun of learning how to play the stock market instead of X-Box. You will learn the value of two-for-one specials and how to hang the toilet paper so it pulls from under versus over, thus making the roll last longer. You'll have books instead of balls and watch History and Discovery instead of Scooby Doo.
So how do you have any fun in a family of nitpicking perfectionists? Simple. Sinve your Virgo parents are so firmly entrenched in their perspective ruts and hate any changes in the daily routine, you can cheerfully volunteer to run those last minute errands. It will allow you a breath of fresh air. Oh, and dont forget your piggy bank. You may quit feeding it pennies years ago, but your thrifty parents have made it fat with enough greenbacks to pay for your first year in college.


*~*~*~*~*

LIBRA PARENTS

Living in a Libra household is the best excercise in frustration a kid can get. Libra parents are never satisfied. Your friends will never be good enough. And when you fall in love, dont expect their approval. These folks will complain that your doctor fiancee works too many hours, or your teacher spouse doesnt make enough money.
They will be in a constant dither over whether they should keep you under lock and key until you're twenty-five, or let you move into a commune as soon as you hit puberty.
Your Libra Mom will be obsessed with your appearance, because it's a reflection on her. Your Libra Dad will either hover over your every movement, or not remember you still live at home. Neither will give you the same answer twice, and both will meddle in your life untill they are locked up in an old age home and addicted to botox.
Surviving a Libra home requires patience, diplomacy, and reason. And you are the person who must exhibit these traits, because none of your Libra parents have them. You'll survive unscathered if you let the small stuff slide and plan ahead for the things you really want. Your Libra parents mean well even though they drive you bonkers with their indecisiveness. However, they will agree to disagree when you decide to go to college in the next state. Once you get there, you'll realize you're the best dressed kid on campus.


*~*~*~*~*

SCORPIO PARENTS

Living in a Scorpio-ruled household is like being a permanent guest on the Jerry Springer Show. A nest of Scorpions contains atleast one family member who is on drugs, in jail, or a guest of the psycho ward, as well as various afflicted friends and relatives who show up at all hours of the day and night or call for help from the last telephone booth in the Sahara Desert.
Scorpio parents pride themselves on telling THE TRUTH. They may insist that you get a job raking lawns so you can pay room and board. The fact that you are five years old is of little consequence. Scorpio parents believe that it's never too early for THE TRUTH. They, on the other hand, will be too busy spending money on the lastest race car or ski boat to sock away any for your college tuition. To avoid the repo-man, or the last guy your Pluto dad beat the hell out of, you'll move frequently.
Your Scorpio Dad loves you, but cant relate beyond alternately criticizing and yelling. He's a stern father, but will also be ther for you right or wrong. In another of the Scorpion's dubious virtues, Dad will defend you even if you are a car-jacker or a drug pusher, but will never thing to steer you towards either a classroom or professional help.
Your Scorpio Mom will alternate between lecturing you into a coma and rationalizing your bad behaviour with a hundred varied excuses. Yet both parents will be genuinely surprised if you drop out of highschool in favor of pumping gas or joining the Mafia.
As all Water-Sign parents, Scorpios see every fault of every human, except those they love.
Hey, Look on the bright side. After you've survived a Scorpio-ruled home, anything else you encounter for the rest of your life will seem like a piece of cake.


*~*~*~*~*

SAGITTARIUS PARENTS

It's not easy living in the house of brutal honesty. Your Sagittarius parents tendency to expand every issue into gargantuan proportions, and habitual hour-long lectures over issues as insane as forgetting to take out the garbage can keep you too busy to get your homework done.
One light in this tunnel of verbosity is that Archer parents will start leaving you home alone as soon as you understand not to use the stove while they are gone. They feel they owe it to themselves because they stuck it out until you could work the remote control, and you'll be greatful for the silence when they're out scouring the swap meet for African death masks.
Your Archer Mom will try to bribe you into styaing honest and making good grades. Play her right and you could be driving a new ca by the time you're a senior.
Your Archer Dad's favorite pastime is laying down the law on his way out the door for his yearly trek to hunk Big Foot in the high Sierra. Both continually spout ultimatums on which they never follow through.
Survival in this home is easy. Encourage your parents to take many, many of those well-deserved trips and leave you in charge. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy the quiet. Or call up a few friends and have a party. Either way, you've got it made


*~*~*~*~*

CAPRICORN PARENTS

In a Saturn-ruled household you'll never be sure whether you are living in a family or enrolled in a canine obedience school. You wont be allowed to climb on the furniture, slide down the banister, or appear at the dining room table without a shirt and shoes. A tie is optional.
Your Capricorn parents are doggedly determined to see that you succeed in life. Your Cappy Mom will send you to modeling school at three, dancing school at four, and enroll you in a romance-language course at six. At five you learned how to write your ABC's in calligraphy.
Your Goat Dad will let you ride on his shoulders as he walkes through his office, so you can get a view from the top early on. The day you are born, he will enroll you in his alma marter; or if he's a self-made goat, the university of his favorite football team.
Neither is too good at hugging, so you might have to make the first move. Both will grill the friends you bring home with the single-mindedness of a dime-store detective on the trail of a murderer, and few will pass inspection. Goat parents have the irritating habit of picking friends for you amogn the children in their casual circle of acquaintances. The fact that you have nothing in common, or hate the little snobs means nothing. Goat Mom and Dad dont remember the kid's name, but they remember the parents' original Degas.
How do you survive? Put your head down and plod right besides them. Pracitce your French, fluff up your angora sweater, and make sure your shoes shine. The day after graduation, you can pack up all your troubles in your Gucci liggage and tap-dance your way down the road.


*~*~*~*~*

AQUARIUS PARENTS

An aquarius home is part homeless shelter and part science fiction movie. Strange people lurk in the bushes, the phone rings constantly, and the power company sends your folks a gift basket every Christmas, because your house looks like the Electric Light Parade.
Your Aquarius Mom will have a drive-through window in the kitchen, where she hands out banana sandwiches to the hungry. Your Aquarius Dad will have three cell phones listed under assumed names, and a basement lab to rival Mr. Freeze. He'll expect you to gather information on your schoolteachers for the Education Manifesto he plans to write.
Your home will be decorated with ancient Babylonian religious objects and littered with books on topics such as obscure inventions, alien abductions, and the history of circus sideshows. However, both of them will be great listeners, and very little you can do will shock them.
Your Aquarian Parents will absolutely insist on total honesty. Lying to them could land you in a homeless shelter down by the bus station. Neither parent will stop you from choosig your own path in life. In fact they will be eager to kick you out the door as soon as you blow out the candles on your eighteenth birthday cake. They plan to turn your room into a shelter for runaway circus midgets..sorry.. performing little people.
Your folks may be the neighborhood oddballs, but the education you receive at home will be ten times more enlightening, and a hundred times more interesting than anything you'll ever learn from academia.
Surviving eccentric Aquarian parents wil simultaneously try your patience and test your embarrassment factor. But, by the time you're ready to leave for college, you will have learned the subtle difference between telling an outright lie and omitting pertinent facts to save a friend from jail, the real scoop on Area 51, and how to organize a protest march.


*~*~*~*~*

PISCES PARENTS

Pisces parents mean well, but vacillate between being over protective and so permissive that you end up calling from jail for bail money. Of course, they will blame themselves for letting you out of the house in the first place, but it wont help much when you are eating your meals through the doggie-door because they've locked you in the garage until graduation.
Fish parents cause more children to run away from home than all other signs combined. That's because they have the worst traits of every other sign. They dole out as meager an allowance as a Virgo, bark orders with the precision of a Leo drilling you on how to clean your room, and analyze every mood, decision, and look with ther determination of a Gemini deciding whether or not you need therapy.
Your Pisces Mom will harangue you to avoid strangers, wear your coat, and eat your vegetables everyday of your life. And Fish Dad will teach you how to watch three TV's (with picture in picture-enabled) simultaneously. Both will drive you nuts with their procrastination.
If you want to go to the prom in April, you had better start prodding your Fishy mom to take you shopping in August. That way with her endless appointments, classes, visits to the sick, and tryouts for the latest local play, she will be able to pencil you in on her calender by March.
You can forget the Fishy Dad altogether, unless he's in one of his rare bursts of energy; the expect to rush through a years worth of errands all at once. Pisces parents are wither in "on" or "off" mode when it comes to parental responsibility and, secretly, they wish you could grow up on your own.
Surviving a family of Fish is easy once you understand that they are all susceptible to the power of suggestion. With a little foresight and planning, you can not only have your way, but also that new sound system you want for your birthday.

Yea, that's my mom, a Libra. Sounds just like her too. Everyone I know who has ever talked to her comments about how frantic she is xD

With my Cancer Sun and Taurus Moon, we don't get along to well. But Cancer and Libra parents sound sort of similar... but I certainly won't fake a heart condtition to get my kid to stay home! I can't wait for the day I leave my house, and I really hope that I don't hold my kids back!

Holy crap!

I can't believe how accurate that was! The Aries one nailed my mother; then when I read Aqua I kept slamming my hand on my desk.

How did they know about my banana sandwiches?
How did they know about my assumed names?
How did they know about my manifesto?
How did they know about my Babylonian Altar?

I am freaking out!!!

That's funny, Theodora!

The one about Taurus was so true, my dad would hold onto every last thing he owned and collected and forgot why he was keeping it in the first place! He once brought home a huge irregular piece of marble that was torn out of the men's room where he worked to remodel...lord only knows what he ever planned to do with it...

How to make the Best Banana Sandwich

Ingredients: Bread, Peanut Butter, Banana, Bacon, Butter, Honey.

You will also need a frying pan.

1) Take two pieces of bread, spreading a layer of peanut butter on each one.

2) Take a Banana, cut it in half, then slice one of the halves longways. Take banana slices and stick them to the layer of peanut butter on one of the pieces of bread.

3) Fry four strips of bacon until crispy. Take strips of bacon and stick them to the layer of peanut butter on the other piece of bread.

4) Squeeze honey all over bacon strips.

5) Put both halves of sandwich together. Bacon and Banana will be stuck together with the honey.

6) Take chunk of butter and melt it up in a hot pan. Place sandwich in pan, and brown both sides like you're making a grilled cheese sandwich. This should get everything melted all ooey-gooey.

7) Remove sandwich from pan, slice in half, and enjoy.

Aries & Sag are spot on, 'cept my father used to wrestle ME (100-pound, tiny little wisp of a woman) to the ground - perhaps because I was an only child and he didn't have sons. NOT a gentleman! Oh, and the stuff about Saggy mothers and stoves...100% accurate.

Ohh kewl topic.

My mom is Taurus.

TAURUS PARENTS

Your Taurus parents will quiz you after dates, search your room regularly, and tell you what you're going to be when you grow up. (Hehe, my mom never did that) Dont worry, it's a no-win situation. If you become what they want you to be and are unhappy, they'll conveniently forget they pushed so hard. If you have a mind of your own and use it, they'll snort and blow and threaten to kick your butt out. Just leave when you're ready. The old man will be too interested in the ball game to get off the couch and track you down. And Ma will be too busy stuffing her face in consolation. They will refuse to send money. They wouldnt have, anyway. Taurus parents cling to their posessions till they're dead. (Hehe, now this is true )
A few years ago, speculation swirled as to whether or not Queen Elizabeth II would abdicate the throne to Prince Charles. The reason she didnt was attributed to his scandalous love triangle that embarrassed the crown. If that's what you and the media want to believe, that's great. Truth is, a Taurus sits on the throne of England, and that's one prized possession.
What do you do in a family like this? Be polite. Learn to lie. Pretend to listen to your parent's endless lectures, and keep marking off those red X's on your calender. They may be boring, blathering killjoys, but they've kept you well fed and bought you a decent car for graduation. Keep smiling until you can race off into the sunset.{This is Dead On!!)

Interesting.. my mom AND stepmom are aries. I get along fine with my mom but my stepmom and I clash like there's no tomorrow. My sister and my mom definitely have issues though. My sister and I are both Sags (3 days apart) but she doesn't know how to control her bluntly honest impulses yet, so she runs into trouble with Aries mommy! haha

My pooooooooooooooooooooooor Aquarius Sun Husband...both of his parents are Cancers

I've got to say that I feel like a blend of the Pisces and Aqua descriptions, though...

OMG, freaky on this. Virgo dad, Pisces Mom. They were both complete control freaks when it came to me, and completely permissive when it came to my brother. hahaha. (Both of us are Cancers, btw).
