Libra Parent

The peacemaker

As a Libra parent, you try to create a peaceful and harmonious home life for your children. It's important to you to bring up your family in beautiful, even luxurious, surroundings, and you do what you can to avoid conflict in your home. Unfortunately, this means you might be a bit of a pushover, especially if your children are particularly forceful or if they learn to manipulate you to get what they want.

Good thing you're so in touch with your core values and beliefs. This will help you put your foot down when necessary and bring the right influences into your children's lives. You can't help but inspire a sense of taste and style in your children, since focusing on the way things look is a natural part of your personality.

You enjoy playing the host or hostess at social gatherings and inviting friends into your home, and you'll make sure you teach your children about treating others with consideration and respect. They may rely on you to settle arguments when sibling rivalry strikes. Since you're uncomfortable with tension, this won't be a role you enjoy, but you're a born negotiator so you are good at calming things down. It’s a natural opportunity to teach your children about compromise and cooperation, two of your strong points.

Since you tend to be indecisive, you'll need to make sure that you show firm consistency with your children whenever necessary. It's wonderful to be part of a close, affectionate family, but you'll also need to command their respect.
