SIMADM: It's who I am...even better
Have you found it hard to communicate your own true feelings through signing. I mean, I find it hard to sometimes get the point across to my husband when I am yelling and pounding my head into the wall - I was thinking how much harder it would be if I had to sign it. You know the whole Mars vs. venus thing
SIMADM: We are out of TP!!!!!
Do you have some kind of a system like if you run out of toilet paper. Instead of being able to yell out the door "hey honey can you bring me some TP we're out in here - do you flash a light or something?"
SIMADM: Ripple Effect
Have you found that more people in your life have learned to sign? Your family? Your friends?
SIMADM: Where it all began....
Was hubs born deaf? Does he use his voice at all? Okay, that's all I got!
SIMADM: Communicate how
Back in the day, I had a t.t.y....but I bet now with texting you don't really need to make many phone calls. Do you and hubs text a lot?
SIMADM: Children
Have your children learned sign language automatically or have you had to actively teach them? Do they ever use the language to speak to each other in a way their friends can't understand?
How do you think they experience having a father who is deaf? Or do they just take it for granted? Do their friends have trouble relating to your husband since they cannot easily converse with him?
Do your children's friends sign to him?
