[quote=Anonymous]Have you tried to learn his language? Don't you want your child(ren) to be bilingual. I was raised by a father who had your attitude and a mother who was bilingual. He never bothered to learn Spanish and discouraged my mother from speaking to us in Spanish because he said it was rude. It was only when I was a teenager and spent summers in Latin America did I learn Spanish. As soon as I learned I began speaking to my mother and my maternal relatives in Spanish. Now at family gatherings we speak in Spanish and he goes and watches TV. If I didn't continue to speak I would slowly lose the ability to speak Spanish fluently. I might feel differently if he at least attempted to learn Spanish, but he never did. OP, think of your child and what an advantage he or she will have in life being bilingual. [/quote]
