[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think there is an exception with small kids. But you should whoever is present why you are doing it.[/quote] Op, I agree. If your kids are young enough that they are still learning both languages, you should be consistent and speak to them in your language as much as you can. My SIL did this for her first, and he is fluent in two languages. She did not do it for her other children, and they are not fluent the the second language. Just say to whomever you are with "Excuse me for speaking X to them, they are at that critical age where I need to be consistent." Also, the only people who gave my SIL a difficult time were other mommies who were jealous that SIL was raising a bilingual child. They accused her of "showing off." It was childish and ridiculous. And this was in NYC, not some small town where it would be out of the ordinary for someone to speak multiple languages.[/quote]
