Scorpio: Master of Psychological Games
Scorpio as a parent is a detective, investigator, and judge all in one. They know everything about their child, even things the child doesn’t know about themselves. For Scorpio, there's no taboo against violating their child's personal boundaries. They have no problem reading personal diaries, not to mention monitoring social media and messages. The poor child has no idea their life is a reality show called "Big Brother is Watching You." But the scariest part is Scorpio's ability to manipulate their child's emotions. They masterfully play on guilt, making their child feel remorseful for things they haven't even done. "I do everything for you, and you..." is Scorpio's favorite phrase, after which the child is ready to confess to eating all the pastries at the school event three years ago.Leo: The Charismatic Despot
Leo parents believe their child is a future star. What the child wants doesn't matter; the important thing is to meet the parent's ambitions. If the Leo's child doesn't show any talent, they just aren't trying hard enough. "Everyone in our family is talented!" roars the Leo parent, enrolling the child in pottery, boxing, and robotics classes all at once.But woe to the child who dares to outshine their parent. Any success the child achieves will be immediately claimed: "It's all in my genes!" or "I told you to work harder!" And if the child decides to follow their own path, contrary to the parent's expectations, they face exile from the pride (read: loss of allowance).
Capricorn: General of the Nursery
Capricorn as a parent is a walking textbook on time management and discipline. Their child lives by a schedule that any military headquarters would envy. There's no room for spontaneity or childish pranks—every minute is planned and must be used with maximum efficiency. "Have you brushed your teeth yet? No? Why not? You had a whole 3 minutes and 42 seconds!" is a typical dialogue in a Capricorn family.What's even worse is Capricorn parents' attitude towards their child's achievements. An A on the report card? Good, but why not an A+? First place in the math competition? Not bad, but why only in the district and not nationwide? A Capricorn's child grows up firmly believing that whatever they do is never enough. However, they have an excellent chance of becoming the youngest client of a therapist.
