I have no desire to be reaffirmed. Like I said I showed her, because I thought she would find it interesting. My concern was more about what is wrong with them, and not needing affirmation for myself. My daughter is deaf, but doesn't behave anything like this. And I'm sorry, but for someone to...

Well, you might as well. Being rude on here doesn't seem to be some of the member's inhibition. LOL A psychologist huh? I fail to see how a psychologist would even feel they have enough real data to make any useful comments on this at all, since she doesn't even know me. Everyone I deal with...

^^^ Exactly. I'm no expert, which is why I don't blab about telling others how to raise their children. I only do it when someone gets in my face about it. I know what's right for me and my family. I keep it that way. And yes, I have figured out some are very anti-CI, but how in the world am I...

Not all the feedback was wrong. I won't even go so far as to say the feedback I even don't agree with was wrong. Just different. It's when they started calling me a Tyrant and what I did was tantamount to child abuse is when it went from opinion to accusations of criminal activity. This occurred...

Uh. No. There were immediately 4 different people who started questioning how I handled it, and how it was so bad, when it was obvious I had no interest in their internet quality parenting skills. Then, a few more piled on, when I mentioned how it is such a big investment, and she had to be...

Robin I know you didn't insult me. You and I are on the same page with how I have managed the situation. I fully understand some others may have a different opinion, or deal with a situation in a different way. I respect that. I do not respect others who jump out and start calling me a child...

I got hot under the collar, and admit I was wrong for being so harsh. What strikes me is how no one else seems to be willing to even remotely apologize for calling me a criminal. It's not like me making only a couple bad remarks, it came from numerous people who literally made the claim that I...

Robin, I',m not second guessing my parenting at all. I actually wanted to come on here and tell a story, and maybe make some online friends about a shared subject. guess I was wrong. All I got was insulted, and called a criminal. We actually do have a support network of people we talk to...

Once again, sitting on a high horse, analyzing a situation I already fully understand, and you do not. It's obvious the people on here have nothing better to do with their lives, which is why I think I most likely won't be spending much more time on this forum. I didn't spend much time on here...

You can migrate over to the Activation thread, I explain her laziness a little better there. She has lots of friends. She just got lazy, because it wasn't working fast enough for her. She wanted everything NOW, even after I told her it would take months and months of hard work. I had come to...

Reba please, I was being sarcastic when I said I was a horrible father.... understand? I was poking at the ones who... ah heck, nevermind. Koala bears. The little wink at the end should have given you some context?. No we are a married couple, actually all living in a very happy home with 2...

Reba, she's 15. Seriously? Unlike some abusive parents, this horrible father doesn't throw his children out on the streets to fend for themselves. She may be as stubborn as I am, because like you and I both arguing over this ridiculous situation, she also refuses to give up when she thinks she...

So, you just assumed I abused my child without even reading it? The first thing I said in the very first post, was she got her internet/cell phone privileges taken away for lying... THAT'S IT!!! You have never heard of sarcasm? Sometimes when your child is in BIG trouble, it just might not be...

It was not a highly charged post. I was simply telling everyone what has happened, and that as a parent, I was truly angered by the lies, and deceitfulness of my daughter, whom I put great trust in. As a result, I did what a parent needs to do, in order to stop a serious problem when being kind...

You're right, I won't call them ignorant morons anymore. I'll just refer to them as "these people". I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings after they spent numerous posts slandering me as an abusive parent. I only get angry when faced with such stupidity that my intellect has no course of...

So you think that I'm being harsh after the first words out of the mouths of "these people" were things like calling me a "Tyrant", dictator, an "Abusive Parent", or that I'm coercing her, manipulating her, not giving her choice over her body, and forcing her to do all these horrible things...

I fail to see how taking away addictive internet privileges after getting lazy, and being lied to for months would be considered bullying. As a parent with actual children, kindness and affection was given in spades for months after her surgery and activation. Only then to be deceived, all...

I'll even give you all an idea of why this has perplexed me, and why I haven't made any updates on this thread for months. It's because after only a couple months of use, back in July, all of a sudden her progress seemed to stop. She was hearing "some" sounds, and her piano to a certain degree...

So exactly how have I coerced her? She was the one that wanted a CI more than anyone. Exactly how have I abused her? Taking away internet privileges for lying? That's abuse? You must be children, or adults who never grew up. No real parent would question that kind of discipline for their kids...

I'm truly sorry if you're life was miserable as a child. My kids however, basically get whatever they want. Seriously, if anything, I do dode them a bit much sometimes, by rewarding them for hard work. As a result of their hard work in school, and help around the house, my girls have just about...
