Taurus Mothers

I was curious about anyone's experience with Taurus moms.
My mother is and she was half in half out. What I mean by this is she was deadly protective and at the same time controlling and VERY demanding. But there was always love (nervous laughter) just don't displease her or make her angry oh man. Me a timid little virgo/leo cusper lol. Mama bull sure did toughen me up though and set a certain standard of ethics I hold till this day. But let me know thx.

Mine is an interesting one.

She's Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon. You can rely on her to give you some kind of material support.
When we were younger, she ruled with iron fists but mostly because she was just very tired from working really hard so we just tried to be good.
As we got older, she's very chilled now & she talks a lot (Aries mercury), seriously.

Taurus mothers can definitely be strict, sometimes downright scary, but it all stems from her love for children. I think that if she didn't care she wouldn't have put so much work into you.

I am the opposite of this I am a scorp sun and taurus moon and I am protective over my children......

I am a Taurus momma, so I can only give you that aspect of it. If you'd like me to bore you to tears a while. *grin*

Haha^
Go on then and bore us, you know you want to.
My older sis is also a Taurus mama...her chart's nearly all Taurus too.
She's very hardworking is all I can say 🙂

^^ Bwahahahaa, I'm so transparent. So much for 'international woman of mystery' schtick, eh? 😄

The *grin* stole the mystery 😄

Okay, here we go. In the raising of the fruits of my loins I am easy going, fun, full of laughter and love. Warm, that they know they are loved and deeply is never in question. I did not then, nor now spoil them with material. Emotionally they get all of me. The children have always been free to speak freely with me, about anything. I encourage questions, learning, books, music, any and everything to fill their brain. To be their own free-thinking person and gave them skill and tools to further that along. However there is a line that *will not be crossed*. Mainly it has to do with respect. Mine as their mother. The woman who carried, bore and nursed them. I did and do expect them to behave in a public situ, or it was a trip to the WC for an addressing. During tantrums and fits I would get down at their level and tell them to get themselves under control ( or sent them to the room, corner, etc. ) and when they were fit to rejoin the human race, feel free. I have been accused ( by them ) of being 'unfair', 'but everyone is..', 'why can't I wear that..' and heaven knows that may or may not be true, but I brooked no refusal. As their momma I wield the power, as is my right. Makes me cringe seeing parents molly-coddling their children. Giving them so many choices it makes their head spin and they go into vapor lock. And I'm not talking about cuddling a child in pain, emotionally or physically, smoothing their hurts or reading them a bedtime story, but shifting their power as a parent to the child. Nope, not a bit of it. Iron fist in a velvet glove. They knew exactly how I wanted them to tow the line. And despite such horrific control issues, I've got children grown, and growing that are good human beings. And they think I absolutely rock.

Boring speech ovah. *adjusting corset and flouncing offstage*

LOL Caught that did we? Well done. 😄

Ah, and my clan. Daughter, 20, Aquarius. Son, almost 15, Cancer. Daughter, Scorpio, she'd have been 14 this October. My Water and Air.

Bet u had that typed up waiting for us to 'molly coddle' it out of ya? 😛

Anywho, that's pretty similar approach as my Taurus sis. Especially on the choices thing.
I guess the aim is to work hard as best as you can...huge commitment with this whole parenting business.

Sorry to hear about the Scorp

Nah, I was waiting for someone to okay me slipping my leash. I'm an overly verbose cow from time to time. Try to get what I'm thinking across and run the risk of writing a damned novel in the process...

Thank you.

And yes, that's the goal. Do the best you can and push the fledglings out of the nest. Love them hard, love them well, give them a firm guiding hand. And at times a swift kick in the rear end. 😉

Verbose, brooked no refusal, bore them, etc... I'm quite impressed at the use of grammar I must admit 😉

What my father encouraged in me, I encourage in mine. He and my mother gifted me with intelligence. Never looked down on me for being curious, answered questions to the best of their ability. And if they could not provide the answer they urged me to find out for myself. Books have always been my dear friends. Music as well. Expand that mind, learn. It's a point of pride with me to speak well. To not butcher the language, et. al. If I do slip into slang and so on it's because it humors me personally. Or to make someone else laugh. And yes, I was that shy girl in the back of the class room reading a dictionary. I adore word play. Using words correctly. LOL In short, to not be a common turnip mentally. I still have great curiosity, still ask questions. People that challenge my brain are a complete thrill and a joy to have about. 🙂

*smiles huge* Or rather, this is serious me. Playful me, another animal entirely.

venusianbull....well said! I'm like that with my little ones......love is never in question.....behavior appropriate to the situation please and lots of hugs kisses books and music. Its funny but sounds like we had similar parental units lol....music lots and lots of books the ability to question everything, parents who had the patience as well as the intelligence to put up with it all. 🙂

Yayyyy!! *high fives* 🙂

You ladies are delightful 🙂

Well now, enjoying some zenalchemy m'self. 🙂

Ah the stories I could tell.and my kids could tell....😉
I have a Pisces moon and Cancer rising,I was really strict in some areas...way to lax in others.
but my kids and I are very close. ♥

My mom is taurus. She is hard working,strong and independent. Okay she is a workaholic! Her motto in life - if u haven't worked,u havent lived- lol

when i was younger we had ths strong bond...but then we drifted in my teenage years. We have an okay bond,but i think i will always have ths feeling like i was neglected a bit,coz our bond died. Now we talk like two grown women,but,when it comes to making decisions,we are both stubborn and always trying to fight for the last say. She isn't strict at all,as long as im taking responsibility for my actions. She encourages us to stand up for what we believe in, work hard,and get the most out of every situation. And most importantly,nt to ever forget where we come from.

In my teens I would often cajole my mother into thinking I was gonna do want she said, (evil auto tune laugh track)but she caught on of course😢 When I was a kid she controlled how I talked, dressed, socially carried myself. She did rule with a iron fist and worked all the time too. Idk maybe it's harder for Taurus mothers to cut the apron strings. She finally did and now she is like my personal diplomatic adviser of sorts. She doesn't interfere and but still offers "suggestions" all the time. And she doesn't get as mad anymore🙂

— My daughter says that about me too. *big ol' grin*
