[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I don’t understand. Nobody speaks Mandarin fluently in your home so it’s unlikely DC will ever be fluent. They had a chance to be fluent in Cantonese but you gave up. [/quote]

Why don’t you cram it? You are the worst kind of poster here, a grimy, smug, truly mean-spirited jerk. You’re a bad person. Nasty, enjoying leaving little turd comments designed to wear on an OPs admitted tender spots. Go screw. Go away. No one wants you here.

And to other naysayers, it seems clear supplemental language study is often a very good thing for anyone. I started French in my 30s and took to it with an excellent accent. The point? I was an adult learner. Who knows what her kids are capable of? All we know is that her friends who made these comments are losers. OP, you deserve better friends. If you can handle it, just cut the biggest jerk off. This kind of picking at you is by design to make you feel awful, as if you’ve failed in your identity and parenting.  But you haven’t. Many parents can’t teach their kids how to bike ride, or how to get through math. This isn’t different, no matter how many Dr. Moms claim otherwise because they read something on parents.com in 2009. Ignore! [/quote]

As an Asian immigrant, I also want to add that Chinese and Cantonese speakers are super judgmental when it comes to identity and if your child doesn't speak those languages well, it's like an insult to the community and they'll think of your child as a banana. There was so much flak against the Asian-American Winter Olympics athletes when not all of them could converse in Mandarin and that was really sad. [/quote]
