[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My native language is not English. DD is 19 months old and calls me "mother" in my native language and sometimes calls DH "father" in my native language. DD has some other "words" or sounds that are attempts at words in my native language. Every time DD makes these sounds or "says" these "words," MIL makes a snarky comment like, "I have no idea what you're trying to say?" Or "I don't like it when I can't understand you." Or "no, not [native language word], [English word]." Or "What does that mean?!" (after DH and I have told her 10 times what it means). MIL is otherwise a very nice (but very ethnocentric and a bit close-minded) woman. I've asked her why it upsets her when DD uses words in my native language and she says she doesn't like it because she can't understand it. I get that but I don't want her correcting DD each time. Any ideas?[/quote] Teach DD to call MIL "go fuck yourself" in your native language.[/quote]
