No wonder why most hearing parents are not on this forum any longer, because some of you pushed them out, and some of you are on the edge of pushing deaf people out too.
I agree with DreamDeaf, she nailed it perfectly, No wonder why she's one of my dearest friends because she doesn't judge other deaf people who are different than her.

She speaking about a "friend" sure doesn't sound like she speaking about her own form of sign. I don't think I want to social with people who mocks at my signs either.

I am perplexed why people mock on your signs. I can't determinate why you feel this way. If I meet you in the person, it will help me to understand why. Did you bluntly ask them question, why they mock on your sign? I would NEVER mock or judge on anyone's sign. They do criticize my sign all the times. I learn new things everyday in my life.
If, I were in your shoes - I will approach those people. Asking them, why they mock my sign language. Is there any problem with that? It is their problem, NOT you !! Why can't they help you with your sign if they are not happy with your sign. Obviously, they are immature people who mock you. I would NEVER mock to anyone's signs. I did help them for a better signs everyday at work, meeting, vp, club, social, conference, party, etc.... So what if your sign is bad. It is their lost, not you !
It is very frustrated to seeing many Hearing parents always think cochlear implants will cure their Deaf children normal hearing like them. They do not want to face the reality into the Deaf world to learn sign language. They put their children into mainstream or block them to learn sign language to destroy their true identify. They did not want to learn real hard for their Deaf children communication effectively.
According to education you, you may did not realize what you have some missing in Deaf Community during your childhood. I admitted that I do miss a lot during my little kid because I learned nothing from my school. I become more fell in love to read many books; it helps me to understand better.
I want to share a story, Netrox and I had heat debate in other Deaf Forum for years. We meet each other at NAD conference; we asked each other if he is Netrox. He asked me if I am Sabrina. We smile, had a lunch together. We discussed about our perspective to cochlear implant and cued speech communication. We had a good feedback and tease each other, become good friends afterward. Between internet and meet in real person are different. I become more care about Netrox because he is realllly sweet and funny guy. Glad, I had an opportunity to meet him in person. My beloved husband and Netrox kept in touch via email and AIM. I admitted that I miss him. We laughed because we always aruged each other over cochlear implant on other Deaf Forum. It was very challenge for us !! I learn alot from him, he learns from me. Feedback and Communication are important !!
