[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you and DH need to sit down and talk about how much you want Russian culture to be a part of your child's life. That's the real issue here. Your MIL and DH seem to have struck a pretty great solution for now. Their bond is close whether they speak English or Russian. You say your MIL is not intrusive and generally kind and always speaks English when you're there, so let's hope she is reasonable about her role with your child. Perhaps you need to hear DH spell out specifically that[b] she will need to speak English to this new member of her "flesh and blood,[/b]" as you don't expect to teach the LO fluent Russian, but hope MIL might pass on some basic knowledge and vocabulary. [/quote] Why would she "need" to speak English to the baby? It's a perfect opportunity for the kid to learn a language with a relative who only speaks that language to him or her. It would sad to deny this to OP's child.[/quote]
