How does your wife cope with your digestive issues? It may not change her fathers ways but may offer him some insight. Can you imagie what kimchee would do to us? I bet you could do chicken bulkogi and some of the veggies. My husband though not the most understanding deals with it and does understand if I don't eat something. I am particularly forthright with my friends and none of them want to see me writhing in pain if I eat the wrong thing!
I don't know that you will ever change the comments in the "mother-language"...it is a cultural thing. My daughter had a sensory issue and would on occasion need reassurance from me and so I would hold her. I weighed about 125 at the time and she was near 60 pounds but a mother feels no weight when her baby needs her! We were visiting my father in Japan when I did this and some lady on the street said "you look stupid...that is an odd thing to do". I wanted to hit her but needed to maintain my Christianity so I just turned away. In the US it would have taken a lot of gall to say something like that to a perfect stranger.
I bet your baby is adorable...
