[quote=Anonymous]Sigh. It’s an uphill battle. Kid (6) gets frustrated when I reply in another language , eventually I give up to properly get my point across/communicate. My 3 year old already has speech delay so I didn’t push it with him. My DH’s parents immigrated, then had him. They were busy with their nonstop super long hours blue collar jobs, so the grandma, who only spoke her native language, basically raised the kids. Even then, my DH can’t read, can’t write the language. He only understands conversational level. So he speaks English to our kids. English is my second language, but it’s so much effort even using my native language in the house, again because of the extra translating, the pushback, the frustration from the kid. I’m already exhausted when I come home from work. [/quote]
