No, they don't have children yet. They are 25 and 26.
What I see—and many share my experience—is that not only are we bilingual, but we are also trilingual. A large number of families speak three languages at home. English is the common language that allows us to communicate with one another. My husband speaks another language.
In addition, families are often very isolated. We may be the only francophone parent in the community, and we have no family nearby. The children look at us in a somewhat perplexed manner. We speak to them in French and it's a bit discouraging, because there's no community support. At least that was the case at the time. There was absolutely none.
