[quote=Anonymous]Try this on for size: My FIL is Afro-Domnican (Spanish) and my MIL is Jamaican. My DH grew up in a house where English, Spanish and Jamaican Patois were spoken - often interchangably. To this day, he talks to his father in Spanish and his mother in English and Jamaican Patois. It is hilarious if they are all in the same room. My kids (now teens and young adults) are fluent in both Spanish and English - but amongst themselves and themselves only, the 4 of them speak Jamaican Patois. It's a hoot. I embraced early on that my kids would be at least bi-lingual. I love the diversity of culture they have grown up with. I am functional in Spanish and I made it my mission to learn enough to at least be able to participate in conversations, although mu IL's always speak English if I am in the conversation. [/quote]
