Questions you never thought to ask your family.

Before they were Mum and Dad

You never had to get to know your parents. They were just always there.

Some of their best stories might never come up in conversation. Not because they’re keeping secrets. Nobody ever thought to ask.

Things like

The biggest lie they ever told
The stories they remember about their grandparents
Who they were at your age
The time they broke the law
Their very first car
The TV shows they grew up watching
The first trip they ever remember
What they still want to experience

A question is just the beginning.

AskKin makes it easy to ask, easy for them to answer, and keeps the stories together as you discover them.

How it works

Easy for you. Even easier for them.

What's the most reckless thing you've ever gotten away with?

Tap to answer

Can’t speak? Type instead

This is what AskKin heard

Summer of ’79. I borrowed Uncle Ray’s Cortina, without asking, and drove three mates to Blackpool. Back by four in the morning, parked exactly where it was. He never found out. Until now, I suppose.

Dad shared this

Example answer

Work, Money & Ambition

What was your very first job?

A paper round at twelve. Two pounds a week and a bike with no brakes. I knew every dog on the estate by name.

Love & Relationships

How did you meet the person you fell in love with?

At a wedding in Preston. Your mum was dancing with my cousin, so I asked to cut in and trod on her foot straight away.

Growing Up

What song takes you straight back to being young?

Anything by The Jam. We played it in Pete’s bedroom until his mum unplugged the record player.

Trivia

What was your worst haircut or fashion phase?

A perm, in 1983. Your nan cried, and not because she liked it.
