[quote=Anonymous]15:59 again, OP, do not let your IL's bully you into not speaking to your child in your language. I am a foreigner too, and with my DH we decided that I would speak in my language to our kids. I need to speak to them in my language even when other family members (ILs included) are here because otherwise I would almost always speak English and they would not learn. It was awkward sometimes to speak to kid in my language when MIL was around and she could not understand. but my ILs were very supportive (MIL even took classes in my language to learn the basics) and understood my reasons. now my kids are in elementary school, are not totally bilingual but understand perfectly my language and speak decently, so I could relent a little, and when my ILs are around I speak in English to them or in my language and then repeat in English.
