Capricorn as a Mother

Capricorn as a mother
Capricorn mothers are one of the most simple and caring moms who are very calm and they keep a lot of patience while raising their child. They value their role of being a mother very seriously and they will probably do their best to secure their kids future and their education. Capricorn is the sun sign which are known for sacrifices and the same she may do in her parenting.

A Capricorn mom will make a lot of sacrifices to raise their children in the best possible manner. These mothers appear to be strict from outside but in reality they are very sensitive and possessive for their children. She is the kind of mother who is very perfect and particular about your discipline and she would always expect her children to respect their elders and relatives.Capricorn people are silent observers and they are also good at planning and executing things in a swift manner, hence Capricorn women will do her best in planning their child’s future. She is usually a multi-tasker where you will find her doing many things at a time be it running the household, raising the kids and also making her own career if she has.

A Capricorn mom always gives their child freedom at least when it comes to studies and other activities, she will never try to force her children to do something and that’s the best part of her which even her kids would start appreciating. She is strict when it comes to lifestyle and health of their children but she knows where to give their kids the freedom and where to hold them back. Though they are a little bit stubborn and adamant but that’s the only thing which can be considered a bad trait in their parenting or else they are highly sensitive towards their kids and they always want to stay closer with their kids.

Oh, I found that on zodiacsigns.com

I had both my kiddos look at this and they say it's pretty accurate.

Agree.
Too posesisve. To the point that she is a impediment to my own developement. Protected me of everything. Always felt she held me back.
I love her the most but i hate her to.

I can relate to this more than I care to admit.

Mine was too careful. Too discouraging.

If you had an idea or dream, my Cap mother would snuff it out instantly.

Terrible confidence builder of 3 sons --- me the oldest. Luckily I'm a Cap, and anti-authority or I would've been emotionally crushed (like my younger brothers -- Sag, and especially my youngest Aqua brother).

CaptainPimp, and CapTenn were your fathers around?

My Cap grandma had and raised six alone. She's not protective or possessive at all, but I think its because she had to work to provide, so her energy was focused on being the sole provider and not so much on control.

Although, if any of them, myself included, come to her with a non developed plan she will definitely have a wtf look on her face. She is quick to show you through expression that something doesn't make sense. She doesn't have to say a word.

I was watching a show, The Braxtons, where another person was called in to help smooth the tension between five siblings. Their mother is a Cap, and the first thing the mediator noticed was the mothers bitterness towards their father, and the fact that all the girl(well women) were extremely spoiled by her. All of my grandmas kids are spoiled too. Still go to her for everything, but none of them lack confidence.

I think fathers are definitely needed in the home to balance the cap emotions, and focus. Also to smooth the edge.

these two posters know the shadow side of a cap mother.

still a wonderful parent, but the dark side is that if an individual isn't strong enough to fight it, like what CapTenn says (like a young pup who needs encouragement-- because let's face it. lots of children do need encouragement and some don't) they get feeling like they can't DREAM the dream.

so i get you guys.

I remember my cap grandmother, she would be Always saying how it's not realistic to do that or go for that. Although she is a great provider of everything, whatever i needed, wanted, and great advice giver, lots of wisdom. And i heard how my Cappy mother in law used to say to her nephew (the Scorpio sun/Leo moon/Leo mars professional athlete --who wasn't a pro back then) that it was very very UNREALISTIC to go for it. it's not realistic in terms of providing for yourself, (because an athlete had to train FIRST and money and time had to be used before embarking on a journey for the pros)

it just wasn't realistic. simple.

but he still went on, (reminder, she was just giving her opinion on it of course, the unrealistic sides) but if young pups listened and never pursued their dreams they wouldn't get anywhere and stay at a mediocre job (which is also okay, but iif it's NOT your dream, you'll Always be dreaming)

true story.

the questions and naysaying words of,"how is he going to make any money? everyday of the week and even weekends training when he could be finishing a university or college? lol

i see the realistic side very much. sigh.

and now, he makes a six figure income. 😆

if he LISTENED.....pfffftttt maybe he's working as a grocery guy, or something else, which is okay too...but....

aw cap mothers and grandmothers are wonderful. even cap mooners.

just showing the realistic side too and i understand so much where those two are coming from.

🙂

Waw i had wrote a whole page and decided to backspace it...cuz i'd rather not get into it.
This thread reminds me why i hate my mother so much. She messed me up good. 🙂

aw come on. you're here, you're healthy and you are a good person (are you?) lol 😆

when you were hungry she fed you, got all your fave foods, or when you cried, she held you, or when you wanted to hear a bedtime story, she was there reading the story till you slept. took you to school and made sure you did your homework ,ect.

well, anyway, as long as she raised a great individual, no matter what he or she does, she did a great job.

Hate is such a strong word, but still...spill it. Get it off your chest.

Id love to be a parent one day, so its definitely good to hear what it was like, good and bad, for the child growing up with a Cap mom. Or what its like as an adult having a Cap mother.

Do you know why your sister ran away?

Sounds like your mother didnt recover from that, and became paranoid because of it. Almost like ptsd.

Sorry you had to be on the recieving end of that.

Caps are verrry sensitive. Situations like that can be traumatizing and we probably can go overboard in hoping it never happens again.

Im sure that was a lot on you growing up. If you haven't tried talking to someone(therapist) about it,maybe you should...just to heal and try to move on from it.

geez, no one is perfect are you lol? so critical of your own mother. i'm going to be honest about mine as well but i feel very guilty already :I

my cap mom is the most devoted, reliable and generous mom. she protected us, gave us structural and ran a family like a well-run business when we were growing up. without her, we would be messed up with my aqua-pisces dad (no earth whatsoever. not down-to-earth. changing minds like wind changes directions every other h our. idealistic crazy ideas and physically lazy - haha i love him so much i'm like his mini me with my aqua and pisces placements lol)

yes my mom is not perfect, no one is. besides all her amazing qualities (those made her the most amazing mother), she can be insensitive (no water in her chart), bossy and nags too much. my sensitive feelings got hurt many times when i was younger without her realizing it for years. she didn't realize i was a highly emotional sensitive kid until after i turned 10 lol. after i grew into an emotionally expressive adult, one time before her visit, i told her on the phone "mom, i cannot wait to see you! but can you do me a big favor? you know, every time you visit, you have an opinion of every little thing about me, my hair, my sun tanned skin, etc, all day, in front of everyone, which embarrasses, stress me out and gives me bad mood. i'd like to enjoy our time together so can you be kind enough to refrain your nagging?" lol. my dear mom actually complied with my request for half of a day lol. i was very touched

and i agree wholeheartedly with the OP's description of cap mom. the sacrifices my mom made for us were out of this world. i deviated from the ideal path but she gave me the freedom and be the biggest supporter as always. no one else' mom compares. i have always felt so protective, lucky and blessed to have her as my mom.
