I'm from one of the Scandinavian countries, and I have 2 children, my eldest is 5 and unfortunately I haven't taught them my language yet. I feel very sad and guilty about this, they only know English which is fine but I want them to learn my language aswell. Ex is not keen on this, and he's still living here but will be moving out.
For some odd reason, he doesn't want the children to learn my language, because "they live in England, they're English and they speak English which is enough". Tbh I think deep down he's paranoid and doesn't want them to learn my language, in case we speak about him. That's the only thing that makes sense to me, even when we go back to visit my family, and I'm speaking to my mum or sister he's always asking what we're talking about, or if my family are speaking amongst them, he gets paranoid and I constantly have to reassure him that we're not talking about him.
I've never really been able to teach my children the language, whilst living with ex. Thank god he's moving out soon, so I'll be able to be in control of my life and that of my children's. I found this great Saturday school that teaches my language, I know ex will never let me take the kids there. So AIBU to quietly enrol my children in Saturday school?
