“But she has to have the ability to communicate with [my stepdaughter] for the sake of safety and basic decency,” she underscored.
She also made it clear that if her daughter chooses not to learn ASL, then her daughter can live in a dorm room– which she would pay for. However, if her daughter chooses to live under their roof, then her daughter would have to abide by some basic rules.
That conversation occurred seven days ago, though, and her daughter has not spoken to her for the entire week.
So, she has now been left wondering whether forcing her daughter to learn sign language was a bad move.
Does she have a point that learning ASL is necessary for safety purposes during babysitting? At the same time, does it seem like her daughter has some pent-up frustration about her marriage that needs to be worked through? Was giving her daughter an ultimatum the best way to reconcile this issue? How could she fix it?
