I find it very strange too. I speak Mandarin to my kids since they were born and now all speak to me in Eng. Even bb :faint:
Hmm, my DDs speak to me in Eng as well except during scolding , they will explain themselves in both languages.
They do translation for my BF though :rotflmao: -
Kissgurami:

CayennePepper:
Yup, :rotflmao: . I tend to scold them in chinese and ask them to tell them if they understood what I have said. They reply and repeat in english to show that they understood what I have said.
