There is nothing weird about it. You just happen to be more comfortable with using a British accent around your parents. If you want to use an American accent, why not ask what they think about it? If they don't mind, go for it. :)

You should use your British accent all the time though. It's something to be proud of. Don't conform to fit in.

OMG ... my boyfriend is british he moved almost 2 years ago and i've been going out with him for over a year. and he always speaks in american accent! and then he goes home and sometimes he speaks british and occasionally i hear it but never in front of me. he told me when he goes home he gets it back right away!! im like do it all the time haha i think its hott. but its annoying around school to have people come up to you and ask hey can you speak for me. so maybe thats why you speack american. i just want to know why my boyfriend whos my bestfriend and my long time boyfriend wont do it. not wierd but i understand all at the same time.

good news: you're not weird :]
haha trust me, my friend is the same exact way. she has a russian accent around her parents and family, but with her friends [like me] she has a totally normal english accent. She didn't think much of it, until she was talking to me on the phone, and her parents heard her. haha. It's really no biggie :] honestly, you are jist doing what feels comfortable for you. There are actually alot of people who do this. It's just 2 different accents. don't worry about it so much, it's not like you're some strange person and people are going to think you need help ;] if you really want to change this though, you can slowly start using your english accent around your parents, so they can get used to it. or you can use your british accent a little bit every day around your friends.
But don't worry, you're perfectly normal !
hope i helped, good luck, and if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me :] xxo.

youre not wierd. I think you just feel more comfortable speaking to them with that accent. Maybe you could try speaking to one of them a bit more with an englis accent so that you could do the transition easier on yourself. Hope this helps
