[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP whose family is 1/2 Cantonese speakers. I just wanted to add that respect for your elders is such a HUGE part of the culture. I don't know how you/DH could convey a request to speak English at meals without huge insult. You asking your elders to change for your comfort (and essentially weighing it as more important than yours in their eyes) would definitely be a BIG DEAL. You need a compromise like DS babysits for a massage after every outing to ease your suffering. It would be nice if he could convey your wishes to them in a way that they could care about/understand, but I find that really hard to image based on my family members... [/quote]
