  Raising Children in more than one language

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  1. social
  2. family

  i recently told my wife that i am speaking only in the jamaican dialect from now on in my house because she has failed to teach her children her native language because she has put religion first, manners and discipline second, their education third, and her native language somewhere at the bottom.

  while i am not jamaican, nor have i been to jamaica i lived in a jamaican rastafarian community as a rastafarian.

  i am now orthodox christian as are many rastafarians and i still consider myself culturally rastafarian but no longer identify with their heresies.

  I think if they are aged 9 and 10 it might be too late to get them to pick up a second language that easily. Best if they were 4 and 5 or younger. No harm in trying, once they have mastered 2 languages it is easier to pick up others

  Blondie - your re-write of the article shows how crazy they are, however that letter in the link is totally scandalous! They were more interested in the chance of him smoking and wanted to brush under the carpet a member of their congregation may have been a serial murderer!!! That is the first time I have ever seen that letter. JWorg is a haven for Pedos and Murderers

  a witness couple just called on me.

  they know i have'nt been to the hall for a few months but have no idea that i am "off reservation" in more ways than one.. they called by to tell me they that due to the "unloving spirit" in our.

  congregation they will be going to another hall from now on.. the husband has been having ongoing "issues" with the cobe for some time ( iow,he hates his guts).. they feel that if they move to another cong where the people are nicer everything will be ok. (yeah, right).

  You could have sown some seeds, the new cong will love bomb them for a while and then maybe the cracks will appear to them again. Keep in touch if you think they may need some help in seeing it for what it truly is

  hi to everyone, my name is jerry, i am 56 and i live in tralee, kerry ireland.

  i will not bore you with the all too familiar details, suffice it to say i was a prime candidate for indoctrination/ brainwashing.

  the surprising aspect is that my wife, a staunch catholic started a study soon after i did.

  Welcome, sorry to hear about your family situation, I hope it gets better in time. It is amazing how everything becomes logical and makes sense when you leave, it is so hard to explain it to someone whose whole life revolves around it.

  Where to go from here...

  i'm new around here, but i've been browsing the site the last few days in hopes of finding the answer to the situation i've been going through, so hopefully you can help me.

  i met this girl in highschool, but never really spoke with her until about a year after i graduated.

  she's three years younger (however it's legal where i'm from, don't fret) and still a teenager.

  This sounds very similar to the film Worlds Apart, if you can get your hands on a copy I recommend you watch it
