You read the post correctly. But now I ask, Do you think that the difference between me and them in language, religion and culture will affect my relationship with my brother-in-law ?
Because these differences exist between me and my husband's family.

I don't see any reason why language, religion, or culture would affect your brother-in-law, because he is only 12 years old and at that age kids don't really care about any differences in language, religion, or culture.

Biases to language, religion, or culture are usually learned from parents that feel in some way that they don't quite meet up to the standards of people from other cultures, so they try to make like it is the fault of those from other cultures.

You married your husband, you didn't marry his family.

Your husband chose you to be his wife, and only he matters.

As for your 12 year old brother-in-law, well, it will be up to you and your husband to teach him that it is not acceptable to treat others from different cultures in ways that your brother-in-law would like to be treated.

With that said and done, you still haven't answered if you and your husband decided how to discipline your brother-in-law if/when he misbehaves.
