    German parents taken to court for refusing to implant son

    This is a long way from being forced on the parents. I foresee a lengthy legal process if the first judge does not throw it out.

    Mainly you are supposed to look confused. I usually do.

    So you are already being discouraged from teaching her ASL- and she is all of 11 weeks old! Well, you can never meet prejudice too soon! There are also people who would discourage bilingual parents rom using, say, both Spanish and English with their babies even though parents have been doing...

    What should i know to be a great mostly-deaf father to a deaf or hearing baby?

    There is nothing necessarily wrong with children helping a deaf parent. The trick is not making their responsibility. Kids like to help and it helps them feel important. Especially little things like someone at the door or the baby crying. It is a chore and kids should have chores. That...

    Why is the deaf/hoh community so isolating

    I hope you will not let your best friend permanently discourage you from speaking. You may find a better teacher, or one who is more patient. It might be worth it to communicate faster with hearing people. Lots of deaf people learn. 12 year olds often do not understand how badly negative...

    Why is the deaf/hoh community so isolating

    Aww, hon, big hug on a down day. I agree that HOH is isolating. There are folks on this board who will say "no way, just stick to signing in the deaf community". Sure. And I'm blind to the fact signers are isolated from the much larger hearing population??? As to your profession desires, is...

    Gun ownership question

    My family's tradition included gun safety and ownership for generations. Then in my dad's generation one cousin killed his brother goofing around. Enthusiasm took a hit at that point. Of course the cousins had been taught to handle the rifle with care, but teens sometimes act stupid, ever...

    Opinions on hearing dogs

    I have a hearing hubby. He yells at me so I understand him, is very messy but does not shed. Training has been a long and arduous process. On the plus side, he picks up things off the floor and will bring me pills I forgot or an extra blanket after I've gotten into bed. As a person who uses...
