[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, what? You're all out at dinner, you don't speak their language but they speak yours, and they refuse to speak your language and just carry on as if you weren't there?? That's one of the rudest things I've ever heard.

The great thing is that now you have a chance to do whatever you want for that time :)  DH can go have dinner with his parents every month or so, and you get a night to relax.

And if anyone seriously expects you to attend although they talk around you as if you weren't in the room, you should laugh in their face.[/quote]

Yes, people told me I was rude to expect them to speak English but I invite any of these posters that think it is so rude, to sit at a table out at a restaurant for two hours, having to look interested in the conversation whilst not having an idea what is being said.

You can't get on your phone or use any other means to entertain yourself, otherwise you are rude and they get upset.

Now for all those posters, go visit people at their house and sit there unable to understand or interact and not be able to entertain yourself.  Yes you ask them a question in English, they respond and go straight back to native language.  You can't watch TV, can't get on your phone, you are expected to sit there.

Do you really all think this is rude to not enjoy this and want some balance?  There was one solution for me, to give up and not see them. Now ML complains that the dinners and vacations have stopped.[/quote]
