How come she speaks Spanish with her baby?

She lives in SoCal, where many of the nannies for the budget-minded are Spanish-speaking from Mexico or elsewhere in Latin America. She strikes me as someone who would quickly dispatch her child to the care of others, while trying to save a dime doing it.

I'm a Brit who speaks Deutsch so I ask my son questions and he picks it up too. It's called parenting, I also kick a ball around with him but it doesn't mean I am grooming him to play for Scotland one day. Why does everything have to have a reason?

Welcome to the party, raf-33. I am a father of two trilingual girls and I know all the benefits of bilingualism. My initial post was just out of curiosity; was it "only" to widen his horizon or was there a reason as in father/nanny speaking Spanish. Only that

How come she speaks Spanish with her baby? The right question is, why WOULDN'T a parent try to teach their child all the languages they know?

OK, so this topic gets revived every now and then. I just want to make it clear (as the OP) that I understand 100% that anyone can (and should) teach their child any language they want, that's all good. My initial question here was if there was a specific reason for Minnie Driver teaching her child Spanish, the father being Spanish, having Spanish roots of some sort or anything. If so; that would be interesting. If not; no pasa absolutamente nada!

The father of Minnie's son is producer 'Timothy J.Lea', he was born in Connecticut, but grew up in Australia.
They dated in 2008, they broke up by the time her son was born and he isn't that much involved in his son's life. She and her son reside in Los Angeles & the last I heard, she was having a dispute with her neighbor, an older gentleman who she claims is very voltaire/violent towards her and her son!
I'm only assuming she wants to teach her son a different language which is great, it's always cool to be bilingual or MORE!
