Your childhood...

What was your childhood play like...

Me, (you all know I'm a Cap) I was very much on my own, I had siblings but we were in a remote area, I chose to play by myself. I knew kids from school and yeah we had sleep overs, but in general all my play was what I made it. Was never much into playing with others... I was a loner (still am to a large degree).

as a Taurus, my childplay was quite innocent,
til high school then I was a bully and ringleader. >=P

^^ yeh wanna be bully^^ ringleader? more like running rings around urself u dizzy hefer

When i was a child I was so spaced out I had no idea of what was going on.....I didnt know the days or months or years or what a week was till i was in year 5 lol
Mum used to give me mermaid barbies and transformers and i used to go to school and give them away to kids then she stopped letting me take them lol
My best friend anthony was the biggest bully ever he was such a cunt to everyone but he was my best friend. I was the nice one and he would go around doing shit to people to make us laugh but he always took it too far. he would do anything to make me laugh at his jokes he was a gem and Im an aqua.

Its so funny everyone had a crush on anthony in school and always thought him to be the hottest cos i was a bit chunky and now that were older I'm like wayyy hotter than him and hes got a fat beer gut and a baby! lol we dont talk much cos we got nothing in common.

I hated the teachers........teachers killed my childhood.

My mum was the best tho she was the only mum around that let me have parties and stuff even in highschool

^ lol, wtf, okay, I guess, hahaha.

I was a quiet child, outdoors a good part of the time. I didn't roughneck with the boys, but my sister did. I'd sit under a tree and watch on while she played her guts out. Rode my bike everywhere, played in the rain, got filthy, swam a lot, went to the park, typical kid. I'd get comic books with records from the library and get lost. The same with books. Or music. Set outside on the grass with a sketch pad and doodle. Make high pitched shrieks on my clarinet until I got good at it, sang. Climbed trees and would sit there and daydream looking up into the leaves. Lay on the grass and make cloud pictures, splash in the creek and catch crawdads, let the minnows nibble my toes. Stuff myself with mulberries, fresh pears, whatever the outdoors had to offer. On mothers farm you'd still find me outdoors, or in the barn visiting the animals. Scratching the pig behind the ears, bleating at the goats, laughing at the hissing gander, quacking with the ducks, stroking the horses soft nose, putting my hand down into the rabbit hutch to touch their soft fur. Work, definitely when there. But it was good work.

Im obsessed with horses noses I wish i had a bed made out of them.....but they have to be warm

They're pretty great, like warm velvet. 😄

That bummed me out Shaks, I was afraid to form an attachment because we wouldn't be there long. 😢 So, I wanted my children to have one address, one school and mates from kindergarten on. Big fan of roots.

Got a lot of cuts and scraps from playing outside a lot. I suck at running.

I bossed everyone around.

I bet you were a pincher

Heheheee, a pincher. Pinchers are sneaky.

No I was loud about it. I was like a total dictator.

My mom said she'd find us playing outside and I would be yelling orders at all the other kids and throwing little fits when they did it wrong or wouldn't listen..... lmao.

I so believe it.

I screamed a lot too. Blood curdling screams...for no reason really. Haha 🙂

My mom used to set off the fire alarm in the house to prove to her friends you could hear me screaming over it, they didn't believe her. 😛

LOLOL I do so love spunky kids.

I think it's funny too 🙂

My mom always warns me though. She's like Briana, you better just wait until you're really ready to have children because children are like Karma: you're gonna get it all back with your kid.

& then I read something in my house placements one time that said raising children will be a frustrating and confusing experience for me. L O L.

LOL A mothers curse, it works you know. When my big girl was small, oh 3 or so I do believe. She had a terrible habit of getting in my face when I was on the telephone. ( I think that's all kids though ). No matter how many admonishments of "Momma is on the PHONE, hush." She's always liked to be center stage. Anyways! She had started up again with it, and I calmly took my glass of water and tossed it in her face. Didn't hurt her any, but my did it surprise her. Funnily enough the behavior dropped off.

And it's frustrating and confusing for all mothers from time to time, hence 'the curse'. 😉

Haha that's cute.

I've got a million of 'em. 😉 I can wait until the children are ready for families of their own. But I am looking forward to it. Like my own mother, cackling like a loon and saying "Oh it GETS BETTER!" Thanks Ma. LOL

Lol I'm scared

I used to look after my litle brother after school cos mum would come home at 7 and we used to chase each other with knives lol and big sticks through the house.....he would always call her while she was at work shes a hairdressing teacher....and she would be screaming at us while she was on class haahahahaha....that was a long time ago though.

LOL Nahhhhhh, don't be askeered. It's the most rewarding thing, ever. There are times you'd like to rip your hair out, times you just wished to heaven you could go to the bathroom without an entourage. But really and truly it's the best. I can't picture myself not being a mother. When that sweet, downy head is suckling at your breast, those lovely little faces light up when they see you, and cries of "Momma, Momma!" because they're just that happy to see you. Tucking them in at night, planting a kiss on their soft cheek or forehead, wrapping them up in your arms. It just fills you up inside. Mine are almost grown now, and every step of the way I've enjoyed. Even the trying things. 🙂

LOL 11th, I can see two active young boys doing that actually. Little warriors.

You know when you get in a fight with your brother/sister...and you hit/kick them or whatever, and realize it really hurt them so you run for your life and try to lock yourself in a room before they can get to you? lmao. So amazing

:O holy shit. srsly?

Sneaking out!! ♥ I should have done more of that.

Something weird happened to me. I was a total hellion most of my life...but by the time I hit age 13 or so I turned into this totally laid back, go-with-the-flow type. Respected authority, followed the rules, got good grades, was a youth leader, etc.


I wish I would have gotten in more trouble. Haha

i was really really hyper and i wore my clothes inside out because i said the seams hurt. i was also a wanderer so taking me to amusement parks was generally a nightmare because i was always the kid who got lost

i am cancer with gemini rising and libra moon. i was an only child. spent a lot of time reading and drawing. i also loved to dress and decorate for barbie 🙂 i had a few close friends & used to get my feelings hurt very easily. i was often called a crybaby 😢 i loved boy and girl games...i am still like one of the guys. and especially loved swimming.

omg i love being chased i make my little brother do it to me all the time

I'm a Sag and I when I was a little girl I lived in my own little world. I was a loner. Shy. Never played with the other kids. Computers and stuff were new but I prefered blocks. Yup, I'd sit there on the floor and do random things I can't remember while the other little girls played housewives and the boys played games on the computers.
But during middle and high school I was loud and weird and fun loving. But still a loner. Till today. Though I'm not so loud and weird any more. Okay, maybe a little weird still, but I'm good. ^_^

I spent a lot of time alone although I was the middle child of three boys. We were poorer than dirt. Homeless for some time then in government housing and some rough areas near Baltimore. My parents divorced when I was 12 and my mom took my brothers and me to a 2BR apartment. I spent most of my time in thought. I did have a few friends but usually just one or two at a time. I didn't want people to know where and how I lived. I started working when I was in elementary school. I had two paper routes I walked very early before school. As soon as I could, I started babysitting for extra money. At 14 I got a work permit and a job at McDonalds. I have been employed full time ever since, though now I do much better than McD's. I did have fun too though. We went to weekly community nights and summer camps through the Salvation Army. All in all my childhood taught me that life isn't easy. Don't judge people by what you first see. And if you want something you are going to have to work for it, no one gives you anything.

Moved a whole lot. Made a fuck ton of friends. Played a bunch of sports. Won a lot of trophies. Stayed uniquely me throughout.

As a child i was kinda weird.I was shy,i hated my own friends cause sometimes they just wouldn't leave me alone,i was a total loner and i loved to keep my curtains closed since the age of 5-6,i loved to have my room real dark,and it was like that for years and still is today.As a child i had a pretty bad eating disorder and only when i almost reached my teenage years then started to eat well,mostly because i once had to go to the doctor cause of my diets,and the doctor scared the living shit outta me.
I also got mistaken for being deaf cause i could spend sometimes a whole day without talking,i usually talked when i had no other choice.I mean,i wasn't a rude kid to show the finger to someone if they ask me something.(like now i am.lol.😆)
I also tried to keep a big distance from my friends,i hated to spend time with them cause usually i loved to be alone.
Also,i was pretty emotional for an aqua and bullies wouldn't leave me alone cause of this.(my mom was also an emotional freak even thought she's not an aqua,so i guess it's just in my blood to be alike her in a kind of way).But as years passed i stopped being emotional and then i was the rebel,so then bullies hated me more then ever for always standing up for myself or my friends,and then i remember i got in some pretty bad fights,once this football player almost broke my leg in a fight but i was allright for my luck.Anyways,i remember that day i kicked him in the @ $ $ and strangled him almost to death.
I also had big problems,but as it says,an aqua will have a hard childhood and may start living by her own sooner then others,which is true for me.

Soooo.....yea......i was never sane,never will be.😆

These days the only difference is that now i talk a lot,i'm loud,i can't help it but love it when some people hate me (haters make me famous),i'm now more cold but i can be also emotional when i really need to.

Aww I like this thread. I enjoyed reading everyone's stories 🙂

I am one of four. One sister 11 months younger than me, and two older brothers. I was very much quiet, shy and obedient. My grandmother raised us for a year and a half when I was two, and because she worked long hours as a nurse, my aunt used to babysit us often. She would truck all four of us on the subway all the way from upper manhattan to queens, and we had to walk a long way from the subway to her house. My aunt tells me how much I always offered, practically insisted, on carrying bags that weighed more than me, and that I would never make my sister get out of the stroller to give me a turn to take a ride in it, because the walk was so long. She couldn't believe how helpful I tried to be at such a young age, when most children that age are completely self absorbed (naturally.) I don't quite remember it as specifically as she, but I do remember always wanting to help and please people.

I was highly observant of adult dynamics at a very young age, so I understood what they liked, and tried my best to be someone they liked. I cared much more about how adults viewed me, than how my peers did. I would rather spend my time hanging out with the adults in my family, and remember often being forced to play with my siblings, rather than minding the adults business lol

I played by myself a lot. Barbies were my favorite. Id wake up at the crack of dawn so that no one would be up to bother me so I can let my imagination run wild w/o any interruptions. I did some strange shit with those barbies, come to think of it lol

I enjoyed some outdoor activities, like riding bikes, playing tag, etc, but if I could have it my way, I'd spend all my free time reading and playing with my barbies. I had to be forced to go outside on most days. I had an imaginary twin sister who shared the same name as me lolI knew she wasn't real, but I made her real. I know my mom thought I was crazy, but she let me be. I just remember never being satisfied with the stimulation I got from friends and siblings, so I made her up to fill the void.

I hated seeing the stray cats in my neighborhood. It broke my heart. I would spend all day trying to figure out how I would get money to buy food for them. I stole change out of my moms purse quite a few times, because she always insisted on how broke she was. I didn't care though. Those hungry kitties used to break my heart. I remember that awful feeling to this day.

But yea. That all changed as soon as I got to high school. I became a rebellious fuck up for a while there 🙂

yeah we're total babies!! haha thats so funny about the socks because i would only wear these funky nylon socks because they were seamless and then they got discontinued and my mom and grandma went crazy looking for them to buy every last package in existence. what a good sagittarius mom and cancer grandma i have 🙂

god loves us cappy children. so do the parents. i was imaginitive. very. put a playset or legos infront of me and id play all day...i was mature for my age. reserved. made friends. was passive. moved alot, lived in poor conditions sometimes. i was obidient. when i was really younger my brother(pisces) and sister(aquarius) went to a store and tried to get candy. of course they were like 4 and didnt know how and we all got in trouble because i went after them to bring them home(im the oldest. so yes responsible for them) since my dad was asleep on the couch. well we got caught, there was authorities. i got the beating of my life for trying to be good and bring them back lool.. oh well iusually got punished for something others did in my family. but overall i was good. smart. wise, even at a young age. always understanding of others. kind and caring. sensitive. especially when i was dating. after any break up i would cry. hating myself because i dint feel like i was enough. i was also constantly depressed. chronic depression was a bitch to deal with. overly emotional. cried alot during highschool...a girl i liked didnt like me...bawwww...even in class. i wrote her notes. she musta been an aqua or scorp cause i was really attracted to her. even though she was a bit...scandalous. but i know she really just wanted me too be a friend. i was allways geting attached to the females in my life. still do...kinda makes me pathetic. i once cried infront of her and complained how i sucked because i was all emotional...she told me no i wasnt. i actually could feel. other males in high school were douches. i was the nice guy. shy and reserved but funny. always making people laugh. girls were always around me but i was alays just a friend. was hard for me to understand. i didnt grow up like most people...my dad didnt take me hunting...my mom cared for me...so i was a mommy person i guess. now im alone. always alone and on my own. never going out that much. i just stay at home. but yeah if i had a kid she or he would be a cap. oh and i was always lazy. loool. sleeping during school or reading. but managed to graduate.
