If you want to affect your kids childhood this way then go ahead. I know kids brains are built for soaking that up... but start by teaching 1 language first... wait till he is 3-4 to start teaching the other. It is more effective and gets the same result but it doesn't make him being unable to communicate with his parents.
Little Kai is now pouring it out

Yes, he is now 2 years and 2 months, and he now distinguishes between Mummy and Daddy when he says things.

Some examples.

Yummy - Oishi

Ouch - Itai

Hello - Konnichiwa

Ne, he says after everything be it Japanese or English.

What you are saying I have never seen it.

I have many friends where I am in Japanese/Australian marriages, all have many children, and I don't see any problems.

The problems you experienced with these children crying could have been something totally different as it just does not sound right.
