I feel exactly the same way about my son, but do you sometimes have people say that you are to hard on him for that, because I know his fathers side of the family does that to me.....but like I said earlier, they also ssay I talk white and they probably think I'm trying to make him to, I guess.
It's just the fact that I hate to see parents who allow there children to misspeak (is that a word?)
My biggest petpeeve is he/him and her/she
My niece constantly says things like "him not here" or "I want to talk to he" and she is two years older than my son and he even correts her know (which you know starts even more family troubles
). But I think the fact that a four year old can tell this six year old that you are speaking incorrectly should at least let he mother know to correct it. But that just my opinion.
I'm glad someone else feels the same way about educating our children to speak correctly though.
