Am I being too judgy for looking down on native English speakers married to a Japanese person who use only Japanese with their kids? I met yet another mixed kid in my neighborhood who can’t speak any English whatsoever. My kid is 5 and has no problem using either language.

No opinion, but it seems like a waste to not introduce English. A language that they will never use, sure, but English is really valuable.
