[quote=Anonymous]Don't let it threaten you that they have their special bond. You can look forward to having these bonds with your kids, hopefully even after they grow up and marry. OP, my husband and his family have been in this country for more than 30 years and speak English fluently, but naturally like to speak their mother tongue together. My in-laws not only see no need to try to speak English around me, but will aggressively switch the conversation to their language, even if I was the originator of the conversation and in the middle of it. They even talk about me by name in their language when I'm right there. It's horrible. It's an enormously good thing that your husband and MIL are so considerate and cultured that they switch to English around you. You shouldn't expect them to give up the comfort of their mother tongue when it's just them together, though. [/quote]
