I ask you how did you feel if your coda kids talk to your hearing friends ever close?
 
Ok. My kids were raised to speak when spoken to and stay out of adult business. If any friends of neighbor wanted to talk to them, of course it was all right by me.
 
Hey Bott, how did you communicate with your children when you were raising them? Since you've mentioned many times that your ASL isn't that strong, I'm curious to know if you lipread them, or wrote notes? or...?

Lipreading yes. Padded out by a bit of sign for anything not understood. I am very good at understanding my family.

It wasn't really difficult.

Yeah, interesting how that works, isn't it? I can still talk on the phone with my mom and understand 95% of what she is saying just because I am so used to her speech patterns and voice intonation, but I can't talk to anyone else on the phone at all.

Yes, I agree. I have a very hard time to understand most people, but in my family there are variations. I understand my older daughter the best of all...
 
Matajan, Can you rewrite your questions so I can understand what you are trying to ask better?
