ALL IN ALL!

The author and her daughter, Anya, are from India and have a native language of Hindi. They have a well-adjusted family, with their son Ben, who is in full custody. Anya has a habit of speaking in Hindi when excited, which is not a problem. However, a few months ago, Ben’s mother passed away, and he came to live with the couple. Ben started crying when they were talking in Hindi, and Anya apologized.

Since then, Anya has been conscious of speaking only in English, which puts Ben at ease. However, Anya recently started lamenting about school work in Hindi, which has caused tension between the couple. The author believes that punishing Anya for speaking in Hindi is cruel, especially when she is genuinely trying to make Ben feel more comfortable. This conflict between the author and her husband is a significant point of contention, as they believe it is unfair to punish Anya for speaking Hindi.
