As someone who speaks several languages myself and native in Spanish and French, this is not a big deal.

People in my family do that all the time, each parent speak a different language, and in the school-outside they learn another.

As a kid you just get used to it. You are not going to become a master speaker as you will learn to speak the language but not write it as an educated person and have to choose later what do you study advance grammar and so on, but being able to read books in a language is a huge deal for getting advance grammar on your own.

It also makes very easy to learn new languages and opens you a lot of gates as you can basically move anywhere in the world and adapt to their view. People react differently if you speak what they speak.
