Capricorn Parents!

Hello! My mother is a Capricorn and as I get older, our relationship is becoming more and more enjoyable.

I've started this thread in hopes of seeing some general point of view from Capricorns and those who know them well. Nothing specific, really.

I'd just like to be able to be able to see a bit more where she's coming from at times. From the time that she discovered that she was pregnant, she dropped EVERYTHING she was doing and sacrificed everything that she had in her life for a chance for a stable ground beneath my feet. She's such a hard-worker. She also has this 'silly switch' - when younger she'd take me on 'mystery rides' where she'd bring me and sometimes one of my friends to someplace cool (hiking trail, farm, hibachi restaurant, parade, zoo, camping, etc..) while it remained a surprise.

Now we connect over girly things and sometimes will help each other pick out an outfit or I'll teach her how to create a flat braid using hair from her crown to hold back layers she's growing out. She even was the one who found my wedding dress. Later on we found out it was the only store in my state that carried that brand - and that dress was the only size in the particular style - and it was in the front window. AND it fit.

She's the best.

Does anyone have any Capricorn parent advice, stories, experience - anything! It's appreciated 🙂

I adore capricorn women. they are so patient, dedicated, and hardworking.
as mothers, my friend's mom is a capricorn-- you can tell her anything. she treats me as her own daugheter, in such an honest, loving way. my bf's aunt is also a capricorn, and she would do just about anything to make us both comfortable, without the selfishness of needing anything in return.

I think that's what's so attractive in capricorns; they give with respect and loyalty, and only ask for the same respect from those they offer to (which should be a standard among all men).

My father is a Cap, and umm, no comment lol.

Now his mother(my granny) is also a Cap, and she's an amazing grandmother/mother. Shes actually coming to visit me next week!

She sacrificed a lot for her kids growing up. She married a Sag at 20 and had five kids with him. I guess it got rough over the years, and he either couldnt or didnt want to provide for them. One day they were all walking from school and I think it was my dad who almost got hit by a car, and that was just the last straw for my granny, so she packed up her stuff and her five kids and moved to Texas to start a more stable life for them. They didnt initially stay in the best part of town, but eventually things got better. She worked on the weekdays, went to college on the weekends(graduating on time), landed a good job with the state, bought a home, had another child and the rest is history.

Despite her being young and a single parent for many years she managed to give them a pretty stable life. They stayed in that house for yeeaarrs, and she now owns another home. The only one that went astray was her oldest, a Cancer, and it would be so interesting growing up around them and hearing him argue with everyone and say the meanest things. She would be the ONLY one to calm his temper, and even more recently after him coming around, talking to her, and being so long winded I came to realize that he probably needed more of her attention growing up. I know she did the absolute best she could though *sigh* but I love her and my family. I went down there the beginning of the year for her 70th bday, and her home is the warmest, most loving, livest place to be lol. Thats another thing, people always loved coming there. My gemini uncle, who is only a few yrs older, kept his friends there, so my summers were always fun lol.

Sorry so darn long smh.

Lnana don't be sorry! Amazing people deserve their stories to be shared and appreciated. Plus, I'm not terribly concise with my post length either 😉

Both of these posts hit the nail on the head with my Mom! Woah! I'm not very well read with Capricorns, but it seems as though they share their light and fun side with mainly their loved ones (and those who their loved ones love).

My Mom has been there for people more times than I can count. She's saved many people from themselves and others. She's the only one 'real' enough to give tough love.

She married a Gemini and her best friend is also a Gemini.


And by the way, as I was typing this she came to my door (I live at home until I graduate college this summer) and said yes to the kitten I brought over to show her. I picked out the kitten from a friend's litter and she's said no up until now 😉 She can't resist cuteness! We have a bunch of pets (and humans) in this home 🙂

Yeah, thats how my granny is. My aunts friend spoke at her bday party about how my granny took her under her wing after her mom passed. She called her and said that if she ever needed anything, she would be there. I think she even helped with her wedding. So many people, old coworkers, friends, family spoke and said nothing but good things. My grandma is also good with opening her home and making people feel comfortable and welcome.

I remember one summer counting how many people were in her house that summer. It was like eleven of us. Between aunts, uncles, my great grandma, cousins, my uncle friend etc. Just a house full lol. With all those people, my grandma would go to work as the head of the house and breadwinner lol, come home and NEVER complain. On Saturday mornings she'd go to the grocery store and shop for the week bringing nearly everyone their favorite something home lol.

During our family reunions we'd rent a 15 passenger van and drive to whatever state the reunion was in. My uncle, he was like 17 at the time, invited his friend. My sister(we have different dads) was able to come, and I think it was about 12-13 of us in the van. My granny and Cancer aunt would pay for the entire 4 day trip, and we'd have a ball going through the motions packed in that van, and a ball at the reunions lol. So many darn memories.

Let me get out of here before I tell a million stories lol.

Geesh, can I adopt your Gramma? 😛

And thxbutnotthx - your brother must know quality 😉

Aww sheadethclaws@ the new additions to the family lol. That was sweet.

Myra Kraft(rip) is a good cappie to read about. Her husband is a billionaire, but she gave so much money away helping and spent so much energy and time with charities. I think with many, the desire to have anything(knowledge, money, time etc) is to be in the position to give.

My father is capricorn with aqua moon and venus. to outsiders he might seem to be arrogant and aloof.but actually he is a very shy and gentle person.yes, he does have a swagger about him, which make other people consider him to be haughty and detached but those who know him do cherish his tender side, which outweighs the apparent swagger.
i am the only child so i am always treated like a princess by him.though unfortunately i could not spend much time with him.but despite the distance i never felt unloved or not cared for.

i am always curious about the threads running here in Capricorn Forum complaining that Capricorn man, especially those with aqua moon, do not communicate etc. why to look for verbal signs of adoration. when a capricorn person loves any one, be it in any capacity, his every look and every gesture shows his love.

He married my mother (without putting her to any tests/trials) despite the huge difference of religion, race, nationality and age; loved her, spoiled her like a princess, in fact he spoilt both of us (in a good way ),stayed loyal to her and kept on loving her even after her demise.He sacrificed the continuity of his blood line for the sake of his devotion to her. As i am a female child and won't be carrying his blood line forward.and mind you Afghans put a lot of importance on the continuity of blood line.

every promise was kept,always.i had ,still have, such an absolute faith in my father's words-he said something,he will get it done,come what may.all little wishes were noted and fulfilled,many times without even having to ask for them. on each holiday when i went to visit him, wherever was he posted,my dog's house would be freshly painted,kitchen/fridge would be stocked with my favorite junk, i never knew how did he knew what i liked,because i am also not a very communicative person where my personal likes and dislikes considered.but he still knew.
even at the time of my marriage he understood many thing without me having to convey them to him directly.
He gave an unshakable sense of belonging and protection,a sense of being valued in your own right, what else a child needs?

Shah, if I could hug you right now I would! (and hopefully that would come across culturally equal as well and not looked down upon)!

I'm delighted you shared your experiences with your father with this thread, especially with noting that Capricorn forums don't necessarily have the best male threads.

Your father is a man of great character and I'm going to keep him in mind when thinking about men of great worth and what lessons to teach my future sons. I mean that. My father treated me as a princess too as a child. Unfortunately he's not a stable man. But fortunately my Capricorn mother is a superhero. She always remembers every little thing too (and I'm not terribly expressive either) 🙂

She just bought 2 gallons of almond milk and stocked up on oatmeal and yogurt (basically the only things I eat)! 🙂 Heh!

No,not all,we are actually physically very demonstrative where affection is concerned🙂
Thanks

🙂 Okay then in that case I'd hug you twice!
