Sue, where can I find your blog and the video entries? I'd love to see them. I can be reached at jbrianchamberlin@yahoo.com

Hi Jeremy, thanks for sharing. How did you handle things when he learned he was deaf? I assume you learned this while he was very young. What was it like with a deaf baby? I find we still talk to him and whisper when he's sleeping...it's very strange. I get sad thinking about all of the...

I'd love to be able to talk to him... maybe if he sees this post he'll contact me. =)

Thanks for the kind words. I suppose you've given me a little hope since surgery was an option for him. We just found out today so it's too early to see what's ahead for us.

My wife and I just found out that our 3 month old baby boy is deaf. We had our suspicions and knew he didn't pass his hearing test on one side while in the NICU (he was there for a month when first born) but today he had a very accurate and detailed test and both ears failed. Of course the...

Thanks for the kinds welcome. My wife had a hard pregnancy. Really hard. 12 weeks into it she had a bad bleed which we assumed was a miscarry. Surprisingly, it wasn't. She had another a week later. Still, things were good. Then the blood work came back that she was at high risk for having...

Thanks... I appreciate the kind words. As I get time I'll read through the other posts. I still have 3 other kids and am always learning and wanting to share. =)

No clue as of yet or at least, they aren't sharing. We met with a genetics counselor who said they don't want to share anything yet exactly which I guess is understandable. They think there might be a genetic element there but aren't positive. There are just enough things to warrant that kind...

Hi all. Me coming here, I'm filled with all kinds of mixed emotions right now. I turned 41 last month and just last week my wife (second) gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I have 2 children from my first marriage and she has a daughter from her first... so this baby links us all together...

I wish this topic would have been phrased differently. It's possible for dads to feel this way too. =) What I really wish would stop are all the damn sexist commercials. Seriously. If I see one more ad for Clorox Bleach with Mary Jane Homemaker smiling as she sniffs her clothes I'm going to...

I just tend not to believe everything I read. I think those reports on crime rate etc are skewed.

Not sure what the point of lists like this are except for maybe for the media to scare the crap out of people. It's not very practical to think the majority of people can just pack up and move to another state because it's "safer".

Ihave one.. not sure how to post it though.

Okay... I get that with my kids too sometimes, but don't they come to you for money? Don't they come to you when they want a video game or something? Put your food down, man and stop taking their crap! Next time he says I want a Playstation game, say HELL NO! Give him a list of things to do...

What the hell happened to the world? I remember hooking and getting caught by our principle as we walked to McDonalds. He was driving up the street and nabbed us. He told us to get in the car and we asked if we could get our food first since we missed lunch. He sat in the car and smoked while...

OMG! That would have been bad. LOL! Hooking from school? Eh, it's got to be addressed but that's not the end of the world. I did it just to try it once. The other stuff... man, I don't know what to tell you. Seems like you need to have a family meeting. I mean if you're making the money, then...

Well I guess if that was the charge I wouldn't be so worried. You're right, it's not the same thing. Still, I don't think you can be too careful in situations like that.

That's your choice Steve. I'd be freaking out a little too. We can't always control these sorts of things but the OP is right to be alarmed and of all things cautious. What was your friend Chris charged with?

Eh, that's rough. I'm divorced as well and share custody with my ex. While this issue has never come up before (and we don't have anything specific in writing) similar issues have dealing with the same thing... respect for the other person. How did he react the when you spoke to him about it...

Thanks for the suggestions. I feel like I've been doing that but I'll try harder. I started reading a book called the "Out of Sync Child" and it's been pretty informative. His counselor suggested it.
