Daughter is struggling with the lessons and son has the "I don't care" attitude. I am the only one in the class, but I go over everything after I get home and for the week. My mother and MIL are both picking some up, daughter tries, but has problems and son, well, he's obstinate.

Me being the only deaf or hoh person in class, I get used a lot for example with deaf culture and such. Tonight was all about getting a deaf person's attention and some social issues.
 
Thanks everyone..if she wasnt moving away, I wouldnt be taking it seriously but for this to happen right after she made her decision to move away has me wondering.

Botts, I am not allowing this to create a void..I am still maintaining a positive environment in my home by telling everyone that I love them and making a big fuss over their accomplishments. Inside, it hurts when she is being like that.

I blame everything on her dad.

I went with my husband to an ASL class since he wanted to improve his signing, and I was the only deaf person in class, although my husband is moderately HOH.

I did get used as an example too. Our teacher sent me and two hearing students down the hall then made us come back.

Then she explained my walking and lack of equilibrium to the class. She had the exact same problem and gait.

So our class included a small amount of medical lecturing too. :lol:

And it was tough for me because I can sign and she expected a lot, although I am not a constant signer, and lots of what I know was learned from grandparents and other kids.

Until I was already pretty old, I thought the sign for "clown" meant "funny face" since that was the meaning given by the boy who taught it to me. Somehow I could not put that together until I saw a picture and description of "clown."

The class was fun for us, and though we started out with me turning to my husband to tell him how to sign what she asked, by the end he was turning down my help. We are now both certified signers, although she laughed when she gave me mine. :)

That's good. The answer about the dog, makes me think she does have a guilty conciense sp (sorry) and just lashed out.
 
It's quiet around here, so I think I'm gonna get a head start on some of my homework. Got a lot to study for next Wednesday and the old saying comes to mind, "Why put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today?"

Duh, you're a straight man. You'd be drooling and imagining what sort of underwear she's wearing.

Hide that beast until she asks you, you hear me

I am thinking about how much I dont like my daughter's attitude towards all of us now that she is moving. It seems like she doesnt care about us anymore. When school was cancelled due to snow, she was all thrilled when before she would get upset. I asked her why she was so thrilled knowing that she will have to make it up. She said "Duh, mom...I will be in AZ and wont need to make it up. Hahahaha."

I am getting sick and tired of her "I dont give a fuck" attitude about everything here.

What should I do?

sounds like she's almost a teenager with that kind of attitude that my mom used to tell me about. Nothing and keep cool, just let her know how much you will miss her and let her know if she needs anything to reach you anytime. She told you about the dog that your boy have a dog. She will remember what she told you then she would feel bad later. My mom handled teen girls by raising them and said that teen girls are more difficult than teen boys because teen girls do talk more than teen boys. But my mom has only one boy. :hug:

that reminds me. how is your foot?
 
I am thinking I am super tired, but excited! I just got home from going to Suffolk County Community College. I found out that I need some more classes as prerequisites to be even considered for the ITP. I already have 2 out of five classes. I am hoping to get more by the fall semester. If I can't I will transfer and work on getting the classes I need.
 
Thanks everyone for the support regarding my daughter. I guess she must be feeling guilty but projecting it in the wrong way. :hug:

She might still be feeling very confused and not too sure on what she really wants. I feel like she doesn't want ot let her father down, but she's feeling miserable knowing she is letting you and her brother down and she just isn't sure what to do and doesn't want to create anymore friction between you and ex-hubby.

I have been thinking on this and it took me this long to get the words right.

I have been keeping your whole family in my prayers that the right things happen in this situation and that everyone involved has a protective hand to guide them all along the way.

It is very possible she is mad that you didn't say no to her about moving
