Cancer daughter Capricorn mumma

Hi Cancerians,

Can you help me understand a Cancer girl's relationship with mum if her mum is a Capricorn?
I understand Cancer and Capricorns are opposing signs, do they have the same type of conflict as other opposing signs?

I just want to know how good or how strong the bond is between opposing sign females in a mom-daughter relationship.

You see, when I go out with Cancer female, her mum will call, not once but 3 times. I don't get it. Why must they talk on the phone? Are they very close or what?

And I have a feeling Capricorn mum is very controlling of Cancer daughter. But she seems to like it?

Its her mum, Family is very important to Cancers. No getting around that. She will always choose her mum first. Always, controlling or not.

I only know one capricorn mother, off the top of my head, but she is very involved in her children's lives. The typical matriach type.

Women always obey their mother. They're broken like that.

i have a capricorn mother and she was/is intensely controlling! everything from how my room was kept, and i don't just mean how clean it was but, also with what i wore (this is back in my schooling days). she had to know about every single thing i was doing. i wasn't allowed to hang out with friends after school and prom was definitely out of the question. now that i no longer live with her she calls all the time! if i don't pick up because i'm busy, she'll call ten million times over. then try and get my cousins to call me so i can call her back... i wouldn't say i was close to my mother at all, when i was young she was incredibly mean, she called me stupid all the time and if she made me cry she couldn't conceive as to why my feelings were so hurt. now that i don't see her as much the relationship itself has gotten better. she tries to not be as controlling or call non- stop because i have a tendency to get extremely distant with family... don't get me wrong though she can be incredibly supportive and is always there for me and i love my mum to bits and she really tries.

I feel bad for you guys. I couldn't handle a cap mother being all controlling.
I know one a little with a cancer daughter and I'm sure she lovs her but she's so unaffectionate. Mostly it's the father I see carrying the baby, smiling at her, playing with her, interacting with her. When the mother does carry her she barely looks at her. It's like she's just doing her duty and being responsible, but never affectionate.

I'm a cancer and my mom is a cap and we have a love/hate relationship. Growing up, her work and keeping a clean house were the most important things. She believes her way is the only way and will argue over every single thing I do. Lately it is hard for me to be around her for more than a couple hours. We don't really see eye to eye on what's important in life. I rarely see her even though we work less than a mile from each other, there just isn't a connection there. Of course if she ever needed me I would be there, but I would be cursing under my breath. She uses guilt quite frequently. Her moon is in virgo which exaggerates her need to constantly go and never take a break, I am the exact opposite and it drives me insane. I don't put much stock in family and I think a lot of that has to do with her. I know she loves me in her own way, but I do have a pang of jealousy when I see a good mother and daughter relationship where the mom actually knows her daughter and not just what she portrays to the world.

very interesting, that definitely makes me feel like I'm not crazy and that I'm not alone. Yet another reason I don't want kids, because I'm afraid of being like my mom. It almost feels inevitable. Not only that but I don't want my kids to realize the same things about my family that I have, they suck lol.

I am a cap mother, i have a young cancer daughter. We have a wonderful relationship. I embrace all of her ambitions and wants. I do not spoil her tho i try to create a good balance of freedom and control. I try to teach my daughter to be strong, I wont her to be able to stand on her own one day, tho for now she leans on me for everything. Support when shes scared. A friend to watch her fav movie with or watch her new dress show, even tho im not girly at all, I allow my baby to express herself, Princess dress with heels and play makeup why not. I would not allow her to go in public dressed in play clothes. If she gets upset, I just remind her tomorrow is another day. My child craves attention, as a parent I try very hard to be there when she needs it. Stuborn and free as the wind, strong and very emotional my baby girl is. I could never be more proud of her if i wanted to. Yes very emotional at times, i half to take a step back and wonder when i get on to her if shes truly is as hurt she expresses or is she putting on. In the end I cave and I try to explain why she was in trouble in the first place. I want our future to be as bright as we are now. Yes I am a bit controling but in truth all parents are to some extent. It also depends on weather or not the restrictions wear appropriate. I am a firm believer in trust must be earned threw trial. I know there will be a day where im not needed as much and she'll want freedom that im not willing/wanting to give her and it will be very hard to let go. I'll always see her as my lil girl no matter how old she gets. I love my children, they are my heart. My finest creation of perfect inperfection, I believe my purpose in this world.

Sad to hear about some of the experiences in here. My Cappie granny had two Cancers(My aunt and uncle) and out of her six, my Cancer uncle is by far the most emotionally damaged. He's always been. Back in the day he would walk thru my grandma house and basically terrorize everyone by saying the meanest things imaginable, and my Gemini aunt could calm him a bit but nobody could calm and soothe him more than my Cappie grandma. She'd sit him down and just talk to him calmly and he'd nod and listen. It took years to realize this was probably a cry for attention, even as an adult, and probably his way of bonding with her. He is the oldest too, and she had them back to back, minus the youngest, so im sure the cancer really felt robbed of that needed attention growing up.

My Gemini uncle surprised me a few weeks ago when he said he calls our aunt in California to learn about his mothers(my granny) childhood. Just simple questions like "what was my mom like growing up?" My granny doesnt talk about her past much. Who would think things like this meant so much?
