That's audism, too, because why don't kids use sign language back. It's not "stuck". If kids do that, the parents will realize they were fool and will realize sign language is a great language. I agree that those Deaf parents are audists, too.

@TheStralie HOH and some CI depend on cart interpreters, notetakers, etc. I'm was raised without ASL and I'm profoundly deaf since birth. With hearing aids (never been to ANY type fo deaf whatever school.. just public school with Learning disability English)..... And my son is usually the one who pick up the phone, repeat back at me, etc. I usually avoid places so I don't have to deal with this sort of problem. I won't go to resturants, I don't go meet hearing friends, or anything like that.

Good vlog! I have seen some Deaf parents depending on their hearing child(ren) for the increased access to hearing world. I have three hearing daughters and won't use them at all. Once, at the airport to pick my ex wife, I asked an airline rep if the plane arrival has been delayed or not. The rep turned to my daughter which I stopped and nicely asked that he communicate with me via note-writing. He got upset and tried to use my daughter again, I got real angry(more)
Yes you are correct. You are a champ. I live with my Indian friend's family. I have to take care of myself. I shop for myself. They won't help me at all and they often ask hearing people to write to me. Wow they know my deaf way and I know their Indian way. Cool

Continued: and pointed to him and back to me as I was conveying the gesture that you communicate with me. He got upset and gave up to go get another rep to deal with me. I always want to be looked at as equal as should all Deafs, too.

@DeafArch Thank you for sharing your experience. It is very common in your case with your child as many adults turn to instead of you. It is good that you say away. Most important for children to get protection from being "fixed" in the role of interpreter.
