Do you ever forget that you're an American living in the UK?

It could be related to all the immigration changes that are going on- there was talk about having "earned your citizenship" doesn't necessarily mean you're done with immigration and they can strip it away.

Hmmm.  I can see them booting you out before you've earned citizenship, but hopefully not after.

When I'm trying to get the early school years child, the nursery toddler and the one-year-old out the door by 8.45AM, I often forget who I am altogether.  I just become this screeching sheepdog, trying to herd cats into galvanised buckets. 

Seriously, I don't have time to ponder the finer points of nationality most days.

I still have an American accent.  As long as I get my point across I don't really pay attention to how it sounds.

I haven't set foot in the US in 8 years, we had a large-ish family in a relatively short time, moved twice in a short period of time and have limited funds, so I haven't really had the chance to get back.  My folks are here now, and the US seems even more foreign to me in some ways.

It's a matter of the space/time continuum and just living your day-to-day life, IMO, not 'forgetting'.

Being American is just a part of who I am, and now I've got many responsibilities and am many things, it's not something I get the chance to ponder often.

That is the way it is right now, but if they wanted to they could change those rules. Let's say making the any criminal convictions a little looser and you wouldn't be stateless, you would still be a citizen of the US.
