Gryffindor:

We’d probably be fun and rather low stress when it comes to things like grades, chores, etc. At least until our kid screwed up big time, then we’d end up screaming big time. If we had well behaved kids we’d probably be the parents who took our kids to Six Flags constantly, but if they had a habit of misbehaving we’d be scary. Molly Weasley is such a Gryffindor mom. She is a fantastic representation of the house as parents.

My personal favorite mom to represent Gryffinor (outside of HP canon) is Lois from Malcolm in the Middle.

Hufflepuff:

It’s funny, because both my mom and my boyfriend’s mom are both total Hufflepuffs. 

Hufflepuff parents are those parents that you look at and thing they are a Mom with a capital M (Or Dad).  They are always looking out for their child and are there in times of need, while also letting their kid make mistakes.  They are generally patient with mistakes and antics, but you also know when you’ve pushed them too far and you really don’t want an angry Hufflepuff parent. 

Ravenclaw:

Ravenclaw parents are generally patient with their kids, helping and guiding them and maybe being a little overbearing at times. When their child asks for help on something like schoolwork or some other issue, they may find themselves getting a little more invested in it than they probably should be, but they’ll always know when to back off. A Ravenclaw parent encourages their kid to always reach for the stars, and likes to change household routine up a lot. This could mean funfetti waffles one morning and a surprise trip to the beach the next. Arguments are an issue with Ravenclaw parents, and when they do happen, it’s necessary for the Claw to separate themselves, take a deep breath, and think it through. In the heat of the moment, the parent can easily forget that they’re arguing with their kid, and their better judgement tends to cloud in efforts to make they’re points heard. However, a Ravenclaw parent will never disregard their kid because of age. They treat their child as an intellectual equal, sharing conversations about the world and allowing their kid to feel comfortable opening up. 

Slytherin:

Slytherin parents are total hardasses when it comes to work/school, but pretty chill otherwise. We want our kids to be successful and self motivated (like us!) though we may tend to push them too hard at times. “go forth and conquer” would be our mantra to our kids. and we always keep encouraging them to try!
