ok so I love my dad but we are SO stubborn with each other lol
we're both earth signs so you'd think we'd get along great right?? but no. we argue about everything - money, how I spend my time, my life choices...
he always thinks his way is the only way and I'm just like... dad I'm an adult now please let me make my own mistakes
the worst part is we're both too proud to apologize first so we'll go days not talking after a fight
any other taurus with capricorn parents? how do you deal with two stubborn earth signs under one roof
omg yes!! my mom is a capricorn and I'm a taurus too
the stubbornness is REAL. neither of us backs down ever
what helped us was realizing we actually want the same things (stability, security) we just have different ideas about how to get there
earth sign family dynamics are something else lol
my whole family is earth signs and holiday dinners are either amazing or absolute chaos depending on whether anyone brings up money or politics
following this bc I need advice too. taurus sun with a capricorn brother and we literally cannot be in the same room without arguing about something dumb
honestly the pride thing is the hardest part. my cap mom and I are the same way
one thing that helped was texting instead of talking face to face when things get heated? sounds silly but it gives both of us time to cool down and think before responding
omg I feel this so much - my mom is a capricorn and the silent treatment after arguments is REAL with us lol
what helped me was honestly just deciding I was going to be the one to break the ice first, even if I didn't think I was wrong. like... I'd text something super low-key like 'wanna grab lunch?' and that somehow opened things back up without either of us having to formally apologize
capricorns have this thing where they show love through acts and gestures more than words, so sometimes just doing something normal together kind of IS the apology on their end
still drive each other crazy but we argue less now that I stopped expecting her to communicate the way I do. hope things have gotten a bit easier for you!
omg @terravibes the break-the-ice-first thing actually worked for me?? coming back to update
I stopped waiting for my dad to cave after a fight and just started doing the low-key text thing (mine was 'they're showing the game tonight if you wanna come over'). felt weird at first like I was admitting defeat lol but youre so right that capricorns show love through doing stuff together more than saying sorry
we still butt heads about my life choices but the days-of-silence thing has basically stopped. turns out two stubborn earth signs can coexist if one of us is willing to act first. thank you all for the advice, this thread genuinely helped
found this searching for taurus capricorn family stuff and the 'break the ice with something normal instead of a formal apology' advice is gold. saving this whole thread
small update - things have been genuinely calm with my dad for a couple months now. still stubborn as ever but the low-key text thing just became normal for us. feels good to not dread the silent treatment anymore
found this thread searching for taurus capricorn parent advice and just wanted to say thank you, the 'acts over words' point about capricorns explains so much about my dad too
