Sounds like one of those people who believe English is the only language for our country. Gross. I wouldn't hang out with her anymore. She also sounds insecure as fuck. Like okay you don't understand Spanish, maybe you should learn it too. Problem solved
Ew. That Mom.... sorry you experienced that. Glad you removed yourself. I'd delete her contact info and hope you meet kinder parents ❤️
Absolutely not. That person is showing their racism. You and your daughter deserve better
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I’m sorry you experienced this, I would have done the exact same thing and left. Youre teaching your child another language, what a great and wonderful gift to give them. If she feels insecure not understanding what you’re saying to YOUR child, then she needs to grow up. I wouldn’t socialise with such a narrow minded person like this.
If I was one of the other mums I'd have made an effort to learn certain words/phrases to communicate with your daughter in her mother tongue (it would be awful and you'd cringe at my pronunciation but I'd try anyway!) Why are some people so closed minded. Ridiculous.
@Sophie @Leslie @Alicia @Kate @Lola Yes, exactly my thoughts. thank you! 🤍 I’ve completely cut her out of our lives
@Lauren thank you! I’ve never had another mom have an issue with me speaking Spanish, and some will even make effort to speak to my daughter in Spanish as well which I so much appreciate. 💗
That mom sounds like a jerk! I plan on sending my son to spend time with my bestie for this reason. I’ve already asked her to only speak Spanish to him because we see it as an advantage. Props to you, your baby will grow up successfully speaking multiple languages. Unfortunately this will continue to remind close minded people of their own insecurities but she’ll be a pro at handling it as she gets older ( just like her mama!) You sound like you’re doing a great job 😊
You don’t want that mom as a friend, neither the other one really. She didn’t say anything to stand up for you and texted you later to tell you what?! That she stayed and heard all those complains while feeling horrible not knowing what to say blah blah blah Some people 🙄
She’s not worth you and your daughters time. I’m also teaching my daughter my language from home, as she will pick up English from school. I would be feel really uncomfortable and disrespected in that situation.
I feel like you handled the situation very well and respectfully even though the other woman was not respectful. I wouldn't have stayed there either and as others said you don't need to be friends with either of them. I'm sorry you experienced that.
Before cutting her out I give her a few words in Spanish that she can go and translate for herself that she will be grateful you didn’t say that day that would have been well deserved. 😂🤬 Agree with the others. Insecure and racist behaviour. Her daughter will only be raised to uphold the same values so agree. Give her and her child the snip ✂️
Walk away from such humans... We dont have time for small minded attitudes like that!
She invited ppl to her house so she can tell them what to do and how to leave bcs they in her house. This is toxic and unhealthy behavior of the grown woman. I would immediately leave as well. Disrespect is her telling you what what language you supposed to speak to your child. We leave in the world where ppl speak different languages and when she invited you she should learn more about your background and if she triggered easy like this by stuff like this she should limit herself talking to different ppl. Very very toxic I am Russian my Husband Tunisian and we leave in USA last think i am worry about ENGLISH bcs she will speak it doesn’t matter outcome but our mother languages we need to push to speak specifically when we not around each other so more time i speak to her my mother language and when i hang out with other ppl i speak Russian to her bcs its my only chance to improve her russian and if someone ever take it personal they will be out from my friends bcs my child first

Not at all … she made it weird and made it a big deal… what did she think u we’re doing talking bad abt them ? Sounds like an immature lady and probably saved u from more awkward situations with her.
You did not over react by leaving And, I think you handled it great overall
You are not overreacting. If you want to speak Spanish only with your daughter do it. It is your decision. I speak exclusively German with my daughter and hubby and everyone else speak English. I don't care if someone is bothered by not understanding what I speak to her. It is my child and I raise her to be able to communicate with my family aswell once they meet. 🤍
To be plain…that lady sucks. Speak to your child in whatever language you want. Good for you for setting your daughter up to be bilingual as well! You did nothing wrong.
Sounds like someone who doesn’t deserve to be spending time with your family 🩵
