Family much less educated than mine, no one went to college or university, and generally they are not financially literate. They are 1st gen immigrants. My gf is very smart and is studying to become a teacher, and myself I’m working in corporate. However, sometimes I find myself getting impatient with some of her educational skills such as really slow math and English skills. For reference English is her first language She was studying in French from grade 1-4, were in canada and there’s. A program called French immersion. Her parents are honestly idiots and put her in it and were neglectful of the fact she can’t even understand it. Year after year teachers told her mom to take her out and her mom kept her in it , until in gr5 when she was forced out. Because of this, she is a really slow reader in English, and is very poor in math. I’m very proud of her for her progress but I sometimes find myself holding resentment towards her parents whenever she talks abt them, and I get frustrated when she takes 3x longer to read something compared to the average person. Even though it’s not her fault. Im worried one day Itll slip that it annoys me how slow she reads and writes. Is there anything I can do to prevent these feelings and not let it come out.8
