What your star sign says about your parenting style

You love nothing more than helping your kids come up with original ideas for their school projects, and are content spending afternoons at home making things.But, at the same time, you realise that time away from the kids is important.

Your kids know EXACTLY how to get round you, and you always find yourself giving in to another treat or just one more episode of their favourite TV show. You're the one they come to when they're upset – but don't be afraid to ask for help sometimes!

Funny and adventurous – you're the parent all of their friends love. You don't mind so much when your kids say a bad word, so long as they don't make a habit of it. Being slightly impatient, you're not afraid to admit you and the children get on so much better now they're older.

You're cool under pressure, and your little ones know they can come to you whatever the problem. But you also have high hopes for them, which means you're the parent they really don't want to disappoint.

Absolutely nothing phases you. In fact, you're so prepared for anything, your fellow parents call you super mummy/daddy. Despite this, being a Gemini, the kids know you're always up for a practical joke…

For you, the worst thing in the world is being separated from your kids – even when they've flown the nest. You will do anything to protect them and, no matter how old they get, they'll always be your babies.

There's no doubt about it: your kids are THE best. You want them to be smart and popular – there's no excuse for being a shrinking violet. You're the mum/dad who organises the best parties and you run all of the social groups.

Perfection is key for you, and the worst thing would be seeing disappointment in your kids' faces. They're always dressed accordingly to the weather and you wouldn't dream of missing a doctor's appointment.

Your kids are best friends, because your cool, calm and collected nature means fights are diffused before they've even started. Shouting is a rarity in your home, but you have no problem holding down a punishment if needed.

Much like Leo parents you want your kids to be top of their game for everything. Whether that's ballet or football, swimming or horse-riding – your little ones represent the school in their chosen sport and you'll stop at nothing to keep them there.

Yes – you're the mum from Mean Girls. While your kids do actually want to talk to you about all the sensitive subjects, they sometimes wish you'd stop trying to become besties with their pals. Although, they LOVE that you're always up for a party.

Everything in your life, even down to the school run, is like a military operation. You're always on top of things and there's no chance of you being late – for anything. Because of this, your babies know you'll have the solution to any problem, big or small.
