[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the pp above that simply said "yes"

BUT

then I noticed you said in front of your Dh...
So your DH can not understand your native language and you will speak to your child in front of him, knowing he can't understand? 
That is truly horrible. [/quote]

How else will the child learn to speak the second language? My DH speaks German and I don’t. I am happy for him to speak it to our kid.[/quote]

+1. OP, just ignore drama-llama "horrible" PP and all her dum-dum brethren on this thread. I don't speak my DH's native language but we made sure to get an au pair that does and I want them both speaking it as much as possible so our kids will be bilingual. It's such a huge benefit for kids to be fluent in more than one language and I think it's also really important to maintain that connection to their heritage. Normal people with a brain get this; it has nothing to do with etiquette.  :roll: And if people in public think it's rude, well... let's just say they're the kind of people that deserve rudeness anyway.[/quote]
