Do you guys still use your child(ren) as interpreter today?

Many times you will hear CODA complained (both good and bad ways) that their deaf parent heavily depends on them as interpreter when children are growing up. With today modren technology such as wireless cell phone, relay service, emails, instant messenger,  ADA law and etc, will we see decline CODA in interpreter industry? Maybe so. Maybe not.

In my family, my wife (deaf) and I agreed to avoid using our two hearing daughters as ASL interpreter when they are growing up. Over times, we do use them periodically but they did not make very good interpreter. They still can sign just fine with us, relatives and family friends.

As results, is it worth or what? I don’t regret for what we did with our children.

Again, with today modern technology, do you really still use your children as interpreter?

Just wonder.
