[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only speak English but DH and most his family are bilingual. At gatherings, if a few people are commenting back and forth in their language my MIL always makes a point to give a little translation like “they are fighting about the game again” and often will give a pointed look at which point her sons usually switch to English. I don’t mind not knowing but it’s clear that she finds it rude and I do notice and appreciate her efforts to include me. [/quote] You're an adult and you are not trying to speak their language. The rules are different for you. You need to be included in conversations in a way that small children do not. [/quote]
