[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I should be less sensitive, but for some reason I find it irritating when my in-laws comment (through my husband; only my SIL speaks English, their parents do not) about how our baby strongly resembles my SIL and her son as an infant. Of course there must be some resemblance, as they are relatives, but I don't think it is strong. I'm a first-time parent, so I think I'm probably being protective overall. But I also don't like the feeling that 'my side' of the family is being overlooked. I know this is silly, of course I contributed (e.g., baby does have more of my coloration so far). I guess it also doesn't help with the language barrier, because when/if they meet with us (only one time so far), they [u]speak only in their language when I'm there, while in my baby's presence[/u], and I feel more excluded. Can anyone relate?[/quote] What language would you suggest they speak? Do you want your child to learn the language?[/quote]
