[quote=Anonymous]My dh constantly speaks a different language in front of me when my in laws are around. DH was born in the US and his parents were born in their home country but have lived here for the last 35-40 years. Both speak English fluently and have undergrad and grad degrees from US universities. Is it so much to ask that they speak English in my presence, like when we are all at a restaurant together? I literally sit at the table most of the time having NO idea what is being said and it just seems to be the epitome of rudeness to me. We have a baby who may or may not speak this other language one day, and I'm also worried about the precedent this sets for her about appropriate behavior, kindness, etc. For what it's worth, my dh has admitted that he thinks it's rude too in the past, but apparently that was not enough to get him to stop doing it, and now he is just tellig me to get over it.[/quote]
