Cued speech? :roll: I remember it was all the rage in 2nd grade. One year later, no one used it in class and my mother only used cued speech when I couldn't understand her. I stopped using it for good in 4th grade.

I was in no way promoting Cued Speech. I was just mentioning some of the other options available as the OP stated she had been given only two options, AVT and ?????

You must have DID and another personality is coming out and posting all these things you claim never to have done.:laugh2:

There is a large group of people here that don't like you because you are audist, pretentious, and disagreeable.

If there are others that think differently, they don't belong to AD. With the exception of two I can name.:laugh2:

My minions. What? The Deaf can't think for themselves? Nice way to insult. You are just pissed because they don't welcome you with open arms and tell you what a wonderful parent you are and how well you are raising your deaf child. Get over yourself. Your jealousy is unbecoming. To date you have done everything you possibly could to prevent your being accepted into the Deaf community, and still continue to do it. Yet, instead of realizing you are the one at fault, you just keep blaming others. It really is sad to watch someone come back day after day thinking that today, they will get what they so desperately want, but be unwilling to change what prevents it.

If jillio wasn't a member of this forum, we would be telling you exactly the same thing that we're telling you right now, HAM.

:laugh2: You are a hoot! Deafskeptic didn't even mention you promoting CS. She simply shared her experience with it, and you turned into something all about you. Yep, egotistical.

Good grief. :roll: I had no intention of promoting Cued speech. I've forgotten Cued speech and it was never used very often outside my 2nd grade classroom.

I didn't have Csign in mind at all. :roll:

Earlier in the thread I was asked why I was promoting it, so I wanted you to know if you hadn't read that part that I was not actually promoting it. That's all.

No one asked why you were...we just said you were. We already know why.

I'e read that part. I never said you were promoting it. And I certainly wasn't promoting Cued speech. My intention was to simply share my experience with Cued Speech.
 
Something just hit me when I was in another thread. The difference between most hearing parents and me is that they come here to support other hearing parents. I am here to support the Deaf. I come here to socialize with and support friends. Their interest is not in being supportive of the Deaf. It is only in being supportive of each other as hearing parents.

Maybe now they will understand why I get a different reaction than they do.:dunno2:

The Deaf here aren't my minions...they are my friends. And we look at things from the same perspective. I guess the few just have trouble grasping that.
 
:hmm: Jillio, that was very introspective what you wrote there and am glad you put it up.

I've been thinking about the parents too. All these threads and back-and-forth stuff with them reminds me of how wide the gulf can be between deaf and Deaf and how much of an advantage that can be for all those who profit from Deaf people.

I think there's true empowerment, which is Deaf people taking the lead and determining needs and wants based on personal experiences, and then there's the false idols of assumption based on hearing "authorities".
 
CSign - can you see that you are causing a mess and confusion in this thread? Maybe you should kindly sit down and let us take it from here since HAM was asking for deaf perspectives from deaf adults. :ty:
 
yeah that's why we are here, as Deaf/Hoh who are happy to share with anyone based on our past experiences. Therefore, the hearing parents can decide what to do for their kids, without telling us what they think we should do this or that. :no:
 
hearingaidmama said:
I am a Mommy to a beautiful little girl with bi-lateral hearing aids. I need advice about what to do/not to do as she grows and even now! As far as education, socially, emotionally everything. I just want to be the perfect mother and support her in everyway imaginable. Also, is there any way to get into contact with other parents with HOH kiddos?

Jiro- note the above post and the title of this thread. She did not state that she is only looking for advice from Deaf adults.

Don't use me as a scapegoat for the shenanigans of a few posters. The direction this thread took is not my responsibility.

Seems like HAMama's request pretty explicitly includes someone like CSign, whose child is also an HA user, and her input would be as welcomed as Jillio's whose involvement as yet another hearing mom with a deaf child using HAs you didn't seem to object to. Why don't you just let anyone who wants to respond do so without your attempts at censoring them and allow HAMama to filter what input makes sense to her or not?

Welcome, HearingAid Mama.

have you gone mad? You thought I stated that you said SEE I was effective. and now this? You even clicked "like" HAM's post below -

hearingaidmama said:
This is the exact reason I wanted to reach out to deaf adults, to gain the perspective. Instead it's rudeness and insults (even to my parenting, talk about below the belt). It's obvious that some of your opinions cloud your ability to give meaningful, constructive advice that would help.

now can we take it from here without this farce? This thread is about HAM's daughter... not you. You can go ahead and make your own thread if you want it to be about you.

censor? I'm kindly asking her to sit down and let us take it from here since there's nothing productive coming out of this. Don't you agree that one should just leave the room if entire mess is having an issue with that one person?

CSign is free to PM her or create another thread for her.

Ok Jiro. Whatever you say.:bowdown:
 
Jiro, hate to say it, but you're being a tool, again. If hearingaidmama is indeed legit, since she specifically asked about contacts with hearing parents with HoH kids, then CSign's input is perfectly within bounds.

You're one of those creating the mess. Why not just say your bit and leave the personal attacks on other people out of it?
