[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds silly but when I receive a card signed THE NELSON FAMILY it stings a little because my family has different last names. I kept my maiden name and kids have ex dhs. [/quote] I'm confused. Are people addressing the cards to you as "the 'your actual last name which is your maiden name' family" or "the 'ex husbands last name/childrens last name family'"? If people who know you are addressing cards to you with the wrong last name, that is bizarre. [/quote] No - last names isn’t really a conversation. If family friends know my husband is Lyle smith and the kids are Layla and Lyle Jr smith, they assume his wife is Mrs Smith. And most kids’ friends and teachers address the mom as Mrs. <Kids last name>[/quote]
