Dick Strawbridge claims his son is becoming too French while living in France

In a recent podcast episode, Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree discussed their experiences living in France for nearly ten years and the noticeable shifts in their children's behavior compared to British children. Upon their return to France from a UK tour, they observed significant changes in the way their son Arthur interacts and adapts to his surroundings. Dick Strawbridge shared a funny anecdote about Arthur correcting him on the French terms for 'mist' and 'fog', with Arthur using a better accent to pronounce the words. This exchange highlighted Arthur's growing confidence and comfort with the French language and culture. Furthermore, Adoree recounted a moment when Arthur expressed his identification with being French, stating, 'I'm French, aren't I?' This led to a light-hearted family conversation regarding their children's integration into French life, as Strawbridge humorously remarked on the blending of cultures, referring to their offspring as 'mongrels.' The couple’s reflections suggest a deepening bond their children have with France, tapping into both language and lifestyle preferences as they continue their unique journey of living abroad. As they navigate these cultural differences, the Strawbridge family remains appreciative of the diverse experiences France offers to their children, marking the transformative influence of their environment on familial ties and personal growth.
