They don't even bother to ask if I use only ASL with him or not. Whatever happened to asking first before making assumptions. LOL.

Oh, I understand. I'm sorry to hear that, I wasn't aware that it had happened to you and I've had some deaf people telling me I should have teach my sons sign language, and how I'm not even accepting my deafness when it's really isn't about me, it's about my sons who happen to be hearing.
