He paid a lot of attention to the kids as he was very family oriented. People thought this was to compensate for having a deaf mother. They thought she couldn't mother in sign language.
Sophia named a daughter Rachel after her mother, but Gallaudet crossed it out and wrote Catherine. This clues us in on the dynamic between them.
Gallaudet had strong ideas about a mother and fathers place in the household. Father was to spend time with the family, and the mother leaving the house or giving anything less than her best was unacceptable.
Gallaudet seemed to do his absolute best to stayed unemployed. He wrote books and did odd jobs, but he did not consider himself part of the working class.
More Gallaudet
Gallaudet conducted church services at the Hartford County Jail every Sunday morning. They had no budget for religious instruction so Gallaudet did it for free. He only stopped after falling ill. (was he actually ill? or wanted out of it?)

Oral Education
Some oral deaf school created the illusion of success via expelling students who did not succeed in speaking. Gallaudet kind of did the same thing to students who didn't pick up signing well enough too at the Asylum.

Gallaudet even noted that the best place to learn sign language is from those who the language belongs to: the Deaf community.
