follow up to "Multilingual Homes" thread

Those of you who grew up in a multilingual home, do you plan on teaching your children (future of present) all the languages you speak, or just one? For myself, i don't think i'll be marrying a portuguese girl, so i doubt i'd teach my kids portuguese. Maybe just the curse words

I didn't grow up in a multilingual home, but I plan to have my kids watch tv in both english&french, and having them attend english class soon after they start school.

I'm native bilingual (French/English) and my wife is pentalingual (Portuguese native/French/English/Spanish/Italian).

I guess we'll end up teachning our kids our three native languages (English and French for me, Portuguese for her). She'll teach him Portuguese and I'll teach him whichever language isn't his main language at school (e.g. French if he's in an anglophone school).
