A Cancerous Virgo?

So, Matthew over at Childsplayx2 posted this description of his and his wife's parenting style. He felt it was pretty accurate - so I went ahead and tried it out for Mike and me. Gosh - if nothing else - just read the first line. If you know us you'll think, "wow. That's totally Mike and Cathy."

The two of you make a no-nonsense parenting team. Not that you can't relax and have fun. You certainly can, when the time is right. But "work before pleasure" is the principle you'll teach your children and model yourselves. You both need to feel secure and will do whatever it takes to ensure that your family is safe and that your children have the best opportunities you can afford. The Cancer parent is a nurturer, sensitive and emotional. You seem to just "know" when your child is ill or injured. Be careful not to be overly sensitive, though. Don't take offense where none was intended. The Virgo parent is all about standards and perfection. You expect a lot from your kids, and generally they will try to rise to the challenge. Try to remember that they are children, and don't set the bar impossibly high.

Want to try it out for yourself? Go ahead - let me know if you do so I can be sure to come and read it - and let us know if it was true to you as well!
