It certainly have advantages for the children to grow up with more than one languge but it can also be difficult. In our case I am the only one who can constantly communicate with the kids in the other language which makes things complicated. Sometimes to the point of lack of understanding in the family. This brought me to the point that many times I prefer to speak in the majority language to avoid confusion.
How do you plan to raise children in multilingual environment? Are you living in a country with a different language than your mother-tongue?
