Being Deaf....

My family are mostly left me out all the time during meal times.. Ossically time when I'm eating finished then leave the table early.. My family think i'm "rude" I don't give them damn because their habits left me out and not even try "talk w/me".
I'm very impressive w/my birth relatives are not left me out and challenge willing communcation w/us and my children too. I'm very happy big time.. and also in-law are totally patience w/me and willing openly the communcation as well.

If I grew up w/Deaf parent would be big difference compare from hearing family raised.
 
SAme i alway felt left out with my family and when i went off to do something else or watch tv... they alway scold me for being rude... i told them, "oh really.. so i should sit doing nothing... smiling like an idiot and being bored out of my brains? i do not think so. if u wish to talk to me or be involved with me somehow... u can come to where i was at and do just that...that way ill know you truly want to chat with me"

i hate hate hate wasting my energy on people who are not interested even with my family lol
 
I feel the same way u do i always hate to see family left it out !
and all my life i hate to be DEAF i always tell my mom feel she always mad at me i don't wants to be with family.
 
Yes, it happens to me all the time. I sat there with all ladies and I keep pet my mom to trep for me ever they laugh.... I was like :giggle: ... mmmm.. :giggle:..... mom what they say!!!???

I tend look at pictures, tv or begging my cousin to go out with me because I am bored period. ofc, I am onyl one deaf in family but I dont care if I took one of my cousin to keep me busy to go OUT!
 
i gotta admit during worst times of my life i do wish i was a hearing person... but more than often i love being deaf... just that it is difficult to deal with sometime and those times u guys were talking about were one of those difficult times i just wish there is a better way for us all to be able to deal with that without actually calling for interpreter, or use paper and pen or yelling at them... u know? I do hate being left out but same time i love who i am... its weird lol
 
Well I birth w deaf and I grew up big family who deaf 5 brothers and 1 sister and parent are deaf.. I do have hearing family also.. Yes sometime I feel left out whenever I hang out w friends who itself hearrie... but I have my rights to ask those ppl who I hang with * What was it say *... :pissed: So hearing ppl feel left out when I am hang around Deaf ppl! * like my daughter last one who is hearing.. I keep asked her what it say.. she make it sign for me! Grr sometime and sometime I don't care :)
 
Well, I don't really worry about the conversations...if it is supposed to involve me, then someone will get my attention by knocking on the table top...if it's not, well...there's always the food in front of me that isn't going to eat itself. :lol: Seriously...my family is one that believes in including me when necessary...so if I can't follow the conversation on my own, then...ok...whatever. ;)
