When I was a child, I had a very big imagination and I liked to sing and dance alot in the mirror. I was very influenced by things I would see on TV, which was sometimes good and sometimes horrible :/. I thought about sex a lot at a very young age. I started my period when I was 9. I used to like fighting with boys, but play fighting. I was a very jealous kid and sometimes people would pick on me. I used to get in trouble because of my smart mouth, my parents got on my everlasting nerves when I was little, and they used to argue a lot. My parents never really understood me, but they would always understand my little sister. Probably because she is a gem and my moms a gem and my dads a libra. I was nobody's little girl, not my moms and not my dads. Something was always irritating me.

I was a nightmare to my mom, not in the sense of being rebellious but I'm talking very young here, I was a lot crazier than other kids. My mom would complain to other moms about how out of control I was and they'd say all children were the same until they'd come over and they wouldn't understand how she could stand me. When really small I'd climb out of my crib and wander about the house in the dark. When a little older 3 and on I was incredibly curious and would seek out dark places, once in the street I'd run without looking back making my mom chase me, she even tried making me wear little high heels but it was worse b/c I'd just keep falling 🙂 I'd climb anything in sight and go into neighbors houses if the doors were open. I had a habit of climbing up as high as I could and then jumping which would really hurt so I'd lay there motionless for a while until I got myself together and tried it again- ouch I was a freaken masochist or something. While other children tired out I just kept going n going no matter how tired I was.
I LOVED horror movies and hearing scary stories. I would sometimes have to sleep with my parents but could never move my eyes away from the tv- I loved horror. I also scared my sister a lot by imitating possession and what not.
When I started preschool there was a question of whether I was completely normal because I always seemed to be somewhere else. A professional determined I was ok 🙂 Then elementary school I was teachers pet, smart and cooperative. However recess and lunchtime I was let loose. I loved to wonder about that huge, dark, school and when they prohibited anyone from walking down a certain dark hallway and staircase because it was known for having been the entrance to a wanted guy who had entered the school before, I took my friend while supervision was distracted and scared the living daylights outta her, faking I heard something on each floor 🙂 I'd do that sort of stuff all the time. La la la la I could go on and on. Me and my little kid adventures. You know kids never change, the basic characteristics of a child never change.

Surprisingly being raised by an aquarius and a libra/scorpio cusp,I was shy as hell,I wouldn't even make a peep to a strange kid,needless to say two virgos,two other scorpios,a taurus and a capricorn was the closest friends besides a gemini and a sag who as we got older ended up hating each other.I was insanely creative would constantly have teachers wanting to enroll me in artsy type contests and schools but my mom always said no.Won alot of awards from the public school for the art things and a friend visited the same teacher I had for her grandchild and a painting I did is still on her wall after almost 20 years or something it was kindegarten when that was done.

My parents hated me,well okay thats overexaggrerating but I was a real pain in the ass.I was always in trouble.Very much a tomboy,a wrestling match was my version of fun,I would destroy my sisters barbies alot and use to harrass the hell out of her,she was very much a girlie girl,it was like she had two little brothers instead of just one.I used to scare my mom alot just be being "WEIRD" she was always confused by me,my dad he wasn't really around alot until after the divorce but when he was around he's generally the one who keeped me entertained,I was a daddys girl.He was always coming up with different circus type bikes when he wasn't working,had an extra room filled with those train set and race car sets which I screwed around with alot.Me and my sister literally beat the crap out of each other all the time.

Videos games everywhere BUT I was never allowed to play RPG's it was the 80's and my mom was niave enough to believe Dunguns and dragons was really a mind warping and control game making kids do crazy and evil things.So slyly snuck in dragon warrior and other not so famous at the time rpg's under her nose.Rolling stones,areosmith and alice cooper was all time my favorites for music up until about 12 and started watching cable.As a really little child I ended up sitting on top of the refrigerater eating cookies at not even a year old,I was early to potty train and walk,both at nine months old.First time I met one of my cousins I told her there was bears around and she hide inside the house for the rest of the night.Seen the video tape from that night and when I came inside and was asked about it just got this evil little smirk and snickered before I ran off.


To make it short I was a total cross between a shy,total sweetheart to a demon child depending on the mood but I did get sick alot and have to be in the hospitalized with asthma and nomonia about once a year for eight years straight.It sucked.😢

I was raised by air signs, a gem in a libra, my sis was a gem also. No one really understood me but my brother who is a lovely lovely VIRGO. Hey', he is my best buddy. And he understands my moods. He can be a bit of a brain sometimes but that is a-okay. I wasn't very outgoing and was reserved but I had friends for some reason. Usually, my circle would consist of a cancer, virgo, scorpio and a pisces and an aquarius was added later on. I still talk to them til' this day. Now my friends are a leo, scorpio, aquarius and sag. :\ I liked playing video games too.

Hey Tauruschic,


"When really small I'd climb out of my crib and wander about the house in the dark. When a little older 3 and on I was incredibly curious and would seek out dark places, once in the street I'd run without looking back making my mom chase me, she even tried making me wear little high heels but it was worse b/c I'd just keep falling I'd climb anything in sight and go into neighbors houses if the doors were open."

OMG...lol I thought my daughter was the only kid in the world like that. Going into strangers houses, just because the door was unlooked and she was curious. She was picking locks by 2 1/2 and climbling out of her crib at 9mo. What a nightmare, I love her to death, but she was a hellian. She's a Sag, and grew up to be quite the woman. *S*

Sunshine...

What a topic...Whatever

I stil remember my sadistic behaviours when I was about 2 years old(LOL). My parents always liked to put me into cradle. My little brother always to climb on it when I was in it and unfortunately couldn't climb down. He was starting to cry because of that and woke me up (I liked to slep alot). Since of that annoying behaviour it was sparking my interest towards the situation. What I was doing is was messing with his face. He was screaming. But couldn't climb down. I stil was messing with his face just because it was funny to see how he screams..LOL. The more he screamed the more I messed with his face...Ahem...

Then when I turned 5, my parents brought a toy. A toy called "constructor". It was like lego. You could create different things from it. I was so overwhelmed by this toy. I didn't allow anyone to take anything. I didn't even allow to touch them. Not just other children, but also adults. Not even my own parents. I stil remember how I bruised my mothers' left eye for taking away the toy from me. She learned the lesson. She never touched it again. I was getting psycho when someone was touching it. I remember stil that I was fighting for it alot. Children and adults learned to leave me alone pretty fast...

When I turned 8 I was extremly creative. I liked airplanes. I was wasting my granfathers construction materials in trying to make airplanes from them. My grandfather was psycho because of that. But yeah..who cares. I just did..did and did. He gave up too...

When I turned 9, my mother sent me to model airplane club. I was so excited. I spent 3 yers there. I was like in heaven. Everything I wished I found there. I was so consumed by that, I was even making paper models in school and playing with it at yard. Whole school copied me. I remember about 100 people playing with me. I was very popular. Everyone knew me. Even somes that I never saw before....

When I turned 12, my father brought a computer. Damn that day. I gradually become consumed by computer and leave everything else. My parents couldn't stop me. I was spending days, weeks, months in front of it. I left airplane club. I had been attending to hangliding club and left it too. I even had a hanglider. But I never was able to fly on it. I was too young. Damn my father. He didn't bring it here in Turkey with us. He left it there and all my dreams gone with it. However I stil had the computer. But that was a mistake. I shouldn't be allowed to be consumed so much with computer. But that's me. No one can stop or change what I have on my mind. I was very straightfoward. I stil remember how many times my father removed keyboard and I turned into psycho. It was like an ilness. It didn't worked. I was stil consumed by it. I hated my parents for that.

also was an abusive sister :\ now i feel sorry for my little sis. I body slammed her in a toybox fool of sharp sharp objects face foward because she wouldn't play barbie dolls with me. Actually, we would be in the middle of it, where it gets good, and she says "i dont wanna play anymore." she was like 2 or 3, she had a black eye. I used to turn the lights off in our room and lock her in there and she would go crazy. Trap her in the closet. I used to bite and scracth her when I got mad. When we would fight, oh my goodness, I would bang her head on anything, from the wall, to the bed rail, to the floor, the stereo in the fan. I chocked her out for snatching the remote away from me :x... I chased her around the house with a knife for slapping me and then running, she was so horrified, she was only 4 for gods sake 😢. I punched her in the back 8 times because she said she didn't wanna watch the channel I was watching. Oh my gosh. I was horrible when I was little when it came to her. Now I am SO nice to her.

Hey BS, don't be upset...evreyone does things like that when they are kids..I used to have the most horrible fights with my younger brother...one time he gave me a bloody nose..yeah I suck at fighting like everything else in my life...😢...but I's a vindictive little thing...he used to be crazy about toy cars...I destroyed everyone of his cars...poor baby...he's totally heartbroken! he couldn't believe I would do something serious like that over a simple bloody nose...he told me it would have been better if I had broken his nose instead!

Children can be so cruel sometimes...it makes me feel uneasy b/c you expect them to be all sweet and compliant...but they do the most horrid things!

My sis is a taurus and brothers an aquarius.Again the sis was very girlie girl so she genrally just talked alot of catty stuff,did the scratching and biting routine.Total tomboy for me so I genrally had to defend myself by straightout physical tactics-wrestling,one hit punches,kick in the ass here and there and grappling type things.One occassion I put a hole in the wall with her head.I did put a butter knife through a door one time when she threw a remote at me and it felt like she broke my nose.Other than that a few years ago when she was prego with my leo niece is the only time she got the best of me but of course we were justing fcuking around and I didn't want to do anything because she was pregnant.She was more of the bully out of us.

Haffo,

I meant that it seems like you were not controlled by your parents. Children should be children and parents should be the ones who tell the limits and what is right and what is wrong. It seems to me that you wanted to control everything since you were a child. And your parents let you to do that. And I can see the effect on you. You seem like aggressive person. Tell me if I'm wrong about it. That's how I see you. You could have difficulties to find a good relationship if you are aggressive. Not just anyone could love a person who is aggressive. Unless you take an aggressive and powerful Scorpio lady for you to give you a lesson.. 🙂

I really hope you are not an aggressive person, for your own good. You could have a lonely travel if you are.

I disagree about showing the limits. Of course you have to be logical when you tell limits to your children. A very smart kid learns how to manipulate the parents if you just let him to do that. You are right about guiding, that is important, too. But it's also very close to showing the limits. But the most important thing you can give to your child is Love. Amen.

I think limiting kids is just a sign of incompetency in parenting...Period. No need to discus that anymore because I wont change.


When I was at vacation I met a 8 years old kid. We socialised very well. I showed him some things. He liked them very much. He even begged me to continue to do what I started to do. I never felt the need to limit him (and I could, he was in my responsibility for a while). Why? Because I always sparkeled his interests. He was simply consumed by them. He always was trying to discover them. And he never made a mistake that needed to be limited. I never felt the need to limit them because his interested was in my control. More I give more he will listen to me and more he will love me. This is what kids need. To be kept interested. This is what parents are ment for. They are first gates to life. Their role is to prepare kids for that. If they can't then this is because they don't know either.

All I can say is that I never felt the need to limit him in anything and was stil in control.
