I'm with you 100 percent, I too have two hearing children, I never once force them to learn my language just because I'm deaf simply because it isn't all about me, it's about my children and their language. It's like forcing a deaf child to speak because a child has hearing parents who doesn't use signs. It's not right in my opinion. You just got to see in their world from your own.
If you want your children to sign, then you got to go half way with them and speak for them. It's a two way street.
