I have met French Canadian parents where one parent speaks french exclusively
and the other speaks English. The children, I'm told, have no problem
switching back and forth and do not mix the languages either.
The only ethical problem I can foresee, is if the child is brought up using
the conlang exclusively. That would be a disservice to the child.
