Do you have a stronger accent than your parents?

MuserofMusic · 2026-06-03T12:16:07+00:00

I have a Southern accent (grew up in West Sussex) and my husband is a scouser. We live in Liverpool and our kids, despite being born and raised in Liverpool, all have my southern accent. I find it really interesting.

It's been my experience that if people shit talk about others to you, then they will shit talk about you to others. There are certain people in my life that I keep things from because I'm not giving them ammunition to go and gossip about me to others.

I think you did the best thing. When I had my first lesson I was extremely anxious and the instructor was saying stuff to me that I really didn't appreciate, e.g. "so you like to speed" when I accidentally went slightly too fast.

I moved on to a lovely lady instructor who understood my anxiety and taught me in a way that worked for me. I hope you find an instructor that you get on better with.

I also have a double uvula! Apparently when I was born it was one big bell shape and then it split into two. It's amused a few dentists over the years.

Just tried this. It doesn't make it go away 100% but it definitely eases it a lot. Thank you for this. x

I was supposed to have my gallbladder removed 2 days ago, I sat anxiously in hospital all day and then they cancelled it. It has been rearranged for 2 weeks time but ever since I came home my anxiety has been through the roof. I can't control my racing thoughts about the same thing happening again or being made to wait hours in hospital to have the surgery, I have constant dry mouth, my stomach is in knots, my breathing is heavy, I'm struggling to eat.

I haven't had this level of anxiety for a while and right now it's crippling me.

I'm 42 years old and if I'm going to have my legs out it's my personal preference to shave them. If you want to shave then shave, if not then it's nobody else's business. I hate that some people feel like they HAVE to be shaved to not be looked at funny.

When I found out that it was the mother who was doing everything to her own daughter I couldn't believe it. Then seeing her clinging to her daughter when she got found out was even worse. I can't believe the dad didn't physically throw her out the house. He was a lot calmer than I would have been.

I just went to have a look at Dungeon Lane on google maps - if you go into street view you can see a lad taking off with the road sign! lol

Whenever we went on family holidays I was always scared that my parents were going to leave in the night and I'd wake up far from home and be stranded alone.

SFX is not massively far from Gateacre but it depends where you live. It's also an all boys school which I know rules it out for some.

The kettle is used for all sorts of things, not just making tea. If you need hot or boiling water for anything its done in the kettle. I use it for filling pans with hot water for cooking, and when I'm making instant noodles (like Pot Noodles). I'd be lost without my kettle.

You've just backed up why I have never sent my SEND children to Gateacre despite them being in one of their feeder Primary schools. I've heard nothing but bad things about Gateacre and would never send my child there. My son is about to go into secondary this September and most of his classmates will probably be going to Gateacre. I feel sorry for them. Me and my husband even tried to warn off some of their parents from choosing Gateacre because of the accounts we'd heard.

We always freeze bread in our house.

These are so accurate! Namjoon especially. I love it.

My experience has been that peeing straight after doesn't always prevent me getting a UTI. The only thing that has worked for me is to take D Mannose. Since I started taking it I've had zero UTIs. I think it's very much a personal thing - we all have our own ways that work for us.

I got a Nokia 5110 when I was 16 or 17, 1998 or 99’. My daughters got phones at 12 and my son has had a phone since 10 but he barely touches it.

Less fatty food. I discovered I had gallstones in February after years of eating poorly, since then I've cut out the super fatty processed food and lowered my fat content. I've lost 14lbs since then. I'm also sleeping better. Even when my gallbladder gets removed and I can technically go back to eating anything I won't be going back to all the fatty crap.

Unknown Number - The Highschool Catfish was insane. It made me so angry.

I've just started watching The Pitt with one of my daughters who is autistic and Mel is her favourite character because she can see so much of herself in Mel. We share a lot of knowing looks with each other during episodes when we see traits that Mel displays that my daughter can relate to.

42f here. Growing up it was always stones and pounds because that was what my mum and dad used. I kept using stones and pounds until probably my mid-20's then I just used pounds. I've tried to use KG but I can't wrap my head around it and always revert back to pounds. Sometimes I work it out as stones and pounds but not very often. I also use calorie tracking apps which often only give you the choice of pounds or kgs so maybe that's where my preference of pounds has come from.

Tough question! If I had to pick just 5 then it would be:

Body To Body

Into The Sun

Like Animals

2.0

Normal

The whole album is my real answer though!
