They are being INCREDIBLY rude, and if your husband cannot see that, you're in a tough spot.

Your husband should tell his parents that unless they can use a common tongue when you are all together, then no more get-togethers (he can drop by to say hi every once in a while, ans speak Cantonese with them, but when you're there, you all use a common language).

It's all about your husband recognizing that his priority and his nuclear family is you and the kids, not his parents anymore.

Good luck![/quote]

Ha - ha! You have no understanding of an Asian family dynamics. Your suggestion is destructive to the family. I can bet that your race, culture and the state of your marriage is no way like the OPs.[/quote]

I AM Asian, you idiot.

Just not the same nationality as my ILs. I have NEVER seen that kind of dynamic in any of my extended family or friends' families. There are the stereotypes, and there is reality. Unfortunately, OP seems to have fallen into the stereotypical hierarchical Asian family... or not! Hopefully her husband will see the light.

And I agree with another PP to learn a bit of Cantonese, it never hurts. But the premise that the DIL should make all the effort is obnoxious!
