When are we allowed to let Hearing people join our culture and all.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you meant by that

I was being sarcastic--I just edited the post to clarify it.

 

[gnulinuxman]

Don't worry because if I expand upon it, you'll think I'm still a jerk

he meant to say in sarcastic tone that they want their kids to TALK by flapping their jaws (mouth)

sarcastically rude?

I wish parents here would take their minds off my age and see where I'm coming from too.

Honestly from what I've seen so far is that they're trying to tell you to walk a miles in their shoes before making such a judgement on how they raise their deaf children and the choices they do make for them...

No, Boult, I meant that whole sentence sarcastically.

But so many of them are talking about how hearing is the only way, when it truly isn't.

[Fragmenter]

I'm not sure if I'm getting this clearly, as you can see I've missed many many posts for the last serveral weeks, so there's so much to catch up on here, but if you can explain a bit more on what you meant above maybe I can truly understand where you're coming from on this...

 

[Angel]

Ahh Thanks Boult and Fragmenter

How is living a life being deaf was so hard on you? You poor thing. Suck it up and live it.

Well, it seems the majority of hearing parents don't want deaf kids--they want kids who can hear because they don't understand that deaf people can indeed succeed (at the time they make the CI choice). Many find out after the CI and/or oralism decision.

I didn't even understand what the heck he was trying to get at.

You going to hate me for saying this, but IF I had a deaf child, I would want my deaf child to hear with CI or hearing aids which ever will help my child be able to hear a bit more, not because I don't accept my child's deafness but it's more of fitting in and having much more out of this life beside relaying on things or someone to help them... and I definitely want my deaf child to speak and sign so my child will never feel left out along with friends of all kinds

 

[Cheri]

LOL. **** you, Cheri.

No thanks, I'll take a rain check.

I don't get you, Fragmenter. Why do you always have to complain and moan about every little thing in life regarding being deaf. You should be grateful that you have a perfect English grammar, What more do you want?

Even when it's a hearing child and a hearing parent, he or she will accidentally do things to hurt that child. I consider my relationship with my parents to be extremely healthy, but I can't honestly say it was free of hurtful things. Please don't allege that it's only hearing parents with deaf children that can make mistakes. It's universal and totally well-meaning people can do opposite things, both thinking it's for the best. And in most cases, the right and the wrong depends on the particular parent and the particular child, not on what the outside world has to say.

I don't know enough about the CI myself. I just know about my own relationship with my parents, and those relationships within my own family--and I think that's enough.

Why bother to repeat the same old mistakes for years and nowadays? I find this is no excuses for the parent with negative attitude about our deafness. Now they are trying to make them hearing with CI that is full of it. So Deaf children can be normal. ** shaking my head**

Many hearing parents are abusive toward Deaf children that they must be in hearing world and no sign language allowed or cant meet other deaf children.. So what is your point? Thats selfish reason for them treat their d/Deaf children with CI. And also hurting d/Deaf children s literacy as well as it s nothing new.

Tell me why many d/Deaf people are angry that is how they learned that kind of negative behaviors from their Teachers/ parents with their negative view of our deafness, who brainwashed them all along. Thats child abuse.

No wonder many of deaf oralisms are having a very low self esteem and love to attack people with a very positive reinforcement about d/Deaf people s abilities without devices.

Sighs!
