3 Zodiacs Destined To Be The Perfect Parent In Midlife

  • Updated

Let’s face facts: parenthood isn’t a casual walk in the park. Though only a handful of pleasures in life surpass watching your child take their first steps or utter their first coherent sentence, it takes time, energy, and tremendous patience to raise a child. Fortunately, some zodiac signs are far better equipped to oversee a child’s development. In most cases, these signs possess the qualities necessary to effectively communicate with a child, giving them the ideal temperament for the joys and tribulations of parenthood.

Cancer 

You have a reputation for being a bit of a homebody–the kind of person who’d rather clean out their closet or declutter their email than hanging out at a bar on the weekend. Responsibility isn’t so much a burden, as it is an inevitability that comes with being you. You adore kindness and generosity, taking it upon yourself to make others’ problems your own. When you see a child crying on the sidewalk, your first instinct is to rush over and offer cooing words of sympathy. In a crowded subway or transit bus, you’re the first on your feet, trading your seat to any passenger you feel needs it more.

Taurus

You crave stability above all else, finding serenity in the predictable and ordinary. Once you adjust to a routine, you’re set for the foreseeable future, thriving in the mundane. To maintain balance, you try to insert control over as many things in your life as you can, accounting for as many potential mishaps as possible. If somebody you know sneezes, you’re already digging through your pockets searching for a tissue. If your best friend gets chilly at an outdoor barbecue, you have a spare sweatshirt you can lend them in your backseat. For you, control is the name of the game.

Pisces

At first, you’re the type to bristle at the idea of parenthood, inwardly doubting whether you’re responsible enough to raise a child. Yet it’s that internal doubt that makes you such a great parent. Whereas others might boast about their child-rearing abilities, your concern for your child’s well-being makes you an admirable guardian. Your idyllic view of love also allows you to bond with your children on a more fundamental level, outfitting them with the warmth and guidance they seek from a very early age.
