When I became a moth...I know exactly what you mean. When I became a mother, in fact even during pregnancy, I realised all the little things that make me British. It is also easy to see how different things are in another country when you trying to pass on another culture to your children.

We're serial expats, having lived in 4 countries in 3 years, which I think makes it slightly different for us, because no one place has ever really become 'home' however we've decided that when the time comes, our future children will likely only spend their pre-school years abroad because we feel quite strongly about them growing up in a British environment. Until we discussed it I never really felt like I had roots that would bring me back. It's interesting how much our nationality is part of our identity.
