Thank you for sharing, Chantilly. While our situations are not exactly the same, there certainly are similarities. I’d have to say that my parents-in-law are satisfied with my children’s fluency, particularly since they are the most fluent of their cousins. By the same token, they, particularly my son, are held up as an example, which can cause some irritation on the part of my sisters-in-law, who for various reasons chose not to maintain the Spanish language as part of their family life. I do run into my mom sometimes being annoyed at not knowing what was said sometimes but she does say that her fellow grandmother friends are impressed that we are raising them bilingual as most people do respect the fact that it is challenging but such a wonderful thing to do. So, while I wish I had more support from certain strains of the family, I guess I’ll take what I can get and move forward.

Roxana,

Thank you so much for the comment! Definitely, it seems that family comes at you the hardest and they’re often the most persistent too! You’re exactly right that we need to support each other, because there are many times where I’ve felt discouraged by the comments and looks, but in the end, I know I’m doing what’s best for my daughter and that outweighs everything else! Thank you!

Wonderful story Chantilly!
It’s always a challenge and a struggle…whether you face family disapproval and criticism, the children’s school, their peers or strangers out on the street. We face prejudice and ignorance in 2011 (amazing, I know) .However, we must keep in mind that we’ve made a very important decision…Beside raising our children to be bilingual and bicultural, we have to teach them to have an open mind and to be accepting of others’ cultures, languages, and appearance regardless of how different they might be from ours. Unfortunately for us multi-cultural and multi-lingual parents, sometimes, our worst enemies are within our own families or our in-laws. (I personally face racism in mine “your accent”, “skin color”…etc. often times come into the conversation…it is infuriating and sad but a reality nonetheless. We must unite as couples and support this life-long journey of raising happy children, proud and sensitive human beings. I don’t like “skin-color labels” but my daughter comes home armed with “new vocabulary” after spending time with my husband’s family. It is frustrating to face racist remarks or dirty looks at the supermaket because I speak Spanish to my children, I hate it, I really do…but I just have to repeat to myself… “they don’t know what they’re missing, their children will never have the wealth in knowledge that me and my children have because we live in two cultures and speak two languages…Keep up the work! It will pay off in the end.
