No hoichi, no one can see the future. But I do know that my daughter
actually gave me a hug today, and said she understands now, and is
orry for wasting her whole summer playing on the computer, when she
was supposed to be playing/talking with her friends and working on
rehabilitation with her CI. Now, she's even regretting that basically
missed one of the best summers we've had in a decade, locked up in her
room with the shades drawn playing on that stupid teenager website.
What a waste of life.
No, I am not a CC. I never said I was. Nor would I want to bring up my
children in that kind of environment. I was simply making a point that
ometimes achieving goals is very hard, and you have to deal with the
unfortunate obstacles along the way. My point is that more often than
not, humans are generally very lazy. This is a fact. If for one minute
we feel as if we don't have to work for something, we won't. One does
not succeed in life by being lazy. They succeed by working hard, and
ometimes having to put up with a lot of difficulties. In fact, even
when those who are coddled and manage to succeed, it is only when we
face adversity, that we truly excel.
For anyone on here to think I don't love my daughter, then you don't
know what love is. Loving someone is not just touchy-feely affectionate
nonsense. Of course I have great affection for my daughter. Why
wouldn't I? But, it's not just about how you feel. Loving is what you
do. Sometimes, that love can be a bit tough, but in the end, it is
worth it.
She's actually one tough kid (mentally). And yes, I do understand her
feelings. I know what it's like to be different. So don't tell me I
don't understand my daughter when not one person on here even knows who
he is.

So, you maneged through threats and coercion to get your daughter to
dance to the tune you dictated.regardless of what ever she was feeling
or even thinking or her own wishes...
And she has given you a hug. And has submitted.
Fair enough.
Hope this.behavoir youve instilled in her, works for her when she faces
other threats and other coercions..
Judging by the hug..
Its looking grim.
Good job

During the Korean War, my dad was an unarmed combat instructor , and a
military policeman escorting dangerous people on trains.
I had a similar upbringing to your daughter, although mine also
incorporated extreme physical abuse. Not just the mental.
That made me decide how I would raise children if my own.
In addition to making sure that the people who raised me had minimal
contact.
I definitely learned how to be sweet and agree to try to avoid the
abuse.
Of course as an adult I don't take much guff from anybody

A good example is when my daughter begged for 2 years to learn how to
play piano. So, I made a deal with her. I would buy her a piano, but
only if she took lessons. If she quits lessons, then I sell the piano.
My point, was that if she wants me to spend thousands of dollars on a
piano and lessons, she will learn how to play it properly and be
committed to learning how to play such a beautiful instrument. She's
been playing for 5 years, and still going. She loves it. Sometimes, she
does get a bit bored with it, but still plugs away, because she
progresses slowly as time goes on. She also does not want to lose her
piano. ie. consequences to your actions and inherent laziness.
Same goes for spending $100,000 of insurance for a CI.
Funny thing. She even admitted to me this morning she really isn't to
worried about other kids bothering her, because she has long hair, and
you can't even see her wear the silly thing. She's staring to
understand very quickly that no one cares if she has a CI, and it ain't
no big deal.
I think the real main reason, is that partly she doesn't want to feel
different, and also got just plain lazy.

Condor,
My mother was raised by a very physically abusive and emotionally
abusive and manipulative mother.
I think that "touchy-feely" as long as it genuine, is important- not at
all "nonsense" and loving has as much do with how you express
things/feelings, etc, as to do with "what one does". They do NOT have
to be exclusive.
True loving is not purely about coercion or manipulation or about
performance.
and you missed my/others' points as well as Hoichi's-

She wants to hear. Wanting to hear with a CI is like wanting to get in

projection of "I want to be deaf, so I'm sure she wants to be left
alone to be deaf" is off the mark.
She also needs to strengthen her sense of how she carries herself being
what determines how people perceive her, not the other way around.

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
lying to them.
Giving your children affection is vital. I am not arguing that. But,
giving them affection after they have lied to everyone, and abused the
freedom they were given, is not going to teach them anything.
She wanted to learn piano. And she made the decision on her own to
learn and practice. You think it's appropriate to spend thousands of
dollars on something, and then let it sit and go to waste? Or, would it
eem logical to make a basic ground rule that when you invest in
omething important, you see it through? That if you want something,
you have to work at it to earn it?
She begged for a CI. You think it's appropriate to spend $100,000, only
to have her not use it, and just leave it lying around like a cheap
cell phone gadget? Only then to find out that after all the affection
and leeway she was given for months to see that she has been lying to
you on purpose, because she just plain got lazy?
I even told her ahead of time, that it would not be easy, and that
wearing it might make her feel a bit out of place, but no one will
really care. She still begged for it, and wanted it. She was shown
urgeries on YouTube of actual implants, and she still wanted for it.
She even said she may want to be an ENT someday so she could do the
ame.
You people on here have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I swear if you people were the parent of my daughter, she either be a
knocked up teen, or a drug addict, based on your lack of guidance, and
tupidity.
So tell me, oh wise morons, if you just spent the last year petitioning
a multi-billion dollar insurance company, on behalf of the daughter I
upposedly hate and abuse, and finally actually got a legally notarized
insurance policy changed for the sake of getting her what she wants,
along with support and help from the school district and doctors, only
to have it wasted, what would you do?
Especially after your child wasted months of her life playing on a
tupid computer, accomplishing nothing with her life, all because I
gave the exact love, affection, and leeway you all spout your mouths
off is so important, only then to find out she stabbed everyone in the
back with her lies, because she got lazy? What would all you brilliant
ignoramus's do?
Please tell me. I am so waiting to read your responses as to how to
raise a child you know nothing about, especially when all your
o-called "unconditional love" ideals have already failed.
And as far as missing your points goes. They have nothing to do with my
daughter. Your points apply to you, since you were abused, mentally or
physically. My daughter lives one heck of free life to do as she
pleases, only to understand there are "some" rules and expectations.
Heaven forbid, she actually has to work to accomplish something. She
wasn't abused in any way like you were, so don't tell me she is being
brought up like you were. You're just lying to yourself and everyone
else on here hoping for some sympathy.
You have my sympathy to a degree, but you trying to tell me that I
abuse my daughter because I banned her from the internet, is an
absolute joke!!! Granted, I started this thread, but if you really are
that deluded into thinking my daughter is being abused, then you need
to simply shut your trap, and mind your own business.
What I find hilarious, is that I have discussed this at length with the
people here at the hospital I work at, including the chaplain, the
doctors, nurses, and even the local therapist who helps abused women
from domestic violence. EVERYONE is cheering my decisions to finally
put my foot down, and correct this situation.
I bet hoichi thinks not letting my children watch violent movies and
pornography is abusive too. I guess my kids would be able to do
whatever they want, with no consequences at all. How foolish. There is
a couple other people on this forum who warned me about the idiots on
here. They were right.

It doesn't seem that the OP is coercing his daughter at all...she
wanted the CI...was showed movies of the surgery...and wanted to
"hear"... ...at 15, that's what she wanted...and 100K isn't peanuts
either!...People are saying she should have a choice of her own
body...and she did. Her father told and showed her the pros and
cons...she still wanted the CI.
I've heard of many deafies wanting the CI...and the Insurance companies
paying an enormous amount of $$ for it...then for them to just throw it
down....
At 15, she does have a sense of what she wants and doesn't want. One of
my sons wanted to play football....so I went ahead and paid all the
fees, uniforms, etc. Then he started to complain it was "too
hot"...but...he knew this to begin with...and I made him stick it out.
He's glad he did!
Same as for the piano...my nephew wanted to learn how to play, so my
ister bought him a nice piano...after a few sessions, he lost
interest....but...my sister told him..."you don't give up"...and today,
he is an accomplished pianist and plays drums also, has his own Band.

I don't think the criticism of the OP has much to do with the CI at
all.
There are different means to an end, and you can accomplish just as
much with kindness as with bullying.

As a parent with actual children, kindness and affection was given in
pades for months after her surgery and activation. Only then to be
deceived, all while ignoring the rehabilitation requirements spelled
out by the medical professionals. People who know a heck of a lot more
than you.
If you'll all notice, after asking the so-called affectionate experts,
not one has a solution to the issue after all their so-called kindness,
love, and understanding had failed.

Don't be so naive. Calling them "these people" is being quite generous
on my behalf, after their incredibly stupid remarks.
I can think of much better ways to express myself if you really want to
know what I think when I get called names that fall into the category
of criminality. It's flat out offensive. As a good parent, the first
thing they do is attack me when months of affectionate parenting skills
fail, and I am forced to apply discipline to solve a serious problem.
And for me to tell them they are an ignorant moron, when they actually
are ignorant of the entirety of the situation, yet claiming to know it
all, is just flat out worth the title. Like it or not.
If anyone should be apologizing it's the ones who think they know
everything about raising children, when I'm certain by their own
ignorance, some of them may not even have their own.
Oh and btw.... my daughter just called me on my wife's cell phone and
aid "Dad, you wouldn't believe it, I was downstairs watching TV, and I
heard Mom walking around upstairs with her high heels. I never heard
that before. OMG!!!" I said, "Excellent, good job sweetie!" And this,
after only 2 FULL days now of wearing her CI.
She didn't sound abused to me. Oh, WOE IS ME, that poor child...
boo-hoo.

Do you think your posts gain credibility if you use the same insulting

If anything, angry responses could reinforce some ADers' opinions that
you're a bit heavy handed in your parenting.

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 action that "these people" can comprehend. It's like
trying to explain the fundamentals of subatomic macroscopic cross
ections to a stoned koala bear who ate too much eucalyptus. Sometimes
a good verbal lashing is needed to explain things to people who just
don't get it. Using superior language skills and excessive kindness is
omething "these people" actually use to attack others in order to try
and wave their own flag. And frankly, it's pathetic.
Will I use vulgarity? No.
Will I instigate an argument? No.
But "these people" certainly seem more than willing to do so. I won't
tand by and be slandered by them when they have absolutely no idea
what the entirety of the situation is, and don't know what they are
talking about.

It was not a highly charged post. I was simply telling everyone what

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 and affectionate for months, horribly failed.
So, I'm one guy that got piled on by a whole gaggle of "these people",
got a bit defensive after being thrashed about, post after post, until
finally I made my case, and proved them wrong... primarily with proper
language, using only one insult, and you then spend numerous posts to

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 a beating with a cat-o-nine tails, a 2x4,
or maybe a pillow case full of bars of soap. Just sayin'. It might
actually be something else.... like taking away a ridiculous electronic
gadget that she spends way too much time on. Maybe you need to read
first, and try to use some intellect to understand the context of what
is written before you just fly off the handle and assume I'm some kind
of abusive parent.
And if you have a hard time understanding plain English... Then ASK!!!
I'm not calling them names either. I am referring to them as "these
people" because it IS a group of very verbally offensive people that
are slandering me. So, I am not using insults anymore. Just referring
to the whole group of people as "these people". It's entirely correct.
Would you prefer if I sat and listed all those names in sequence, every
ingle time I refer to them? That's ridiculous.

This situation feels familiar to me. You sound like my father. He
ranted about spending a fortune on private speech therapy on me for
years. Anyway, he finally had accepted it later. I do understand that
getting a CI is very expensive and so is speech therapy. I know you're
upset and betrayed by her act.
Why did your daughter get tired of her CI? Had she had any experience
like exhaustion and headache from wearing a CI? I read your previous
posts and other thread. It sounds like her mind get tired from
listening through the CI. Is that why she didn't wear it for a whole
ummer?
I think it's not a good idea for her to watch youtube videos about
others getting positive feedbacks from CI. She feels very discouraged
and probably jealous. That will make it worse. I suggest you encourage
her to talk to others (teen or early 20s) with CI in person.
You said that she was suppose to hang out with her friends during the
ummer. Is she not interested in hanging out with others? Or is she
just avoiding them?
We know what we are but not what we may be.
