[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't change my name, nor did my husband. The kids have his name, and I can't imagine what complications people are imagining, but I would have been thrilled if daycare and schools had called him when a kid needed to be picked up. Nope. They called me, the one with the different last name. PS I find the term "maiden name" patriarchal[/quote] If you dislike the patriarchy, why didn't your kids get your last name instead? [/quote] I think it makes more sense to ask why I got married at all. But both questions lead to the same general questions: In a patriarchal society, how do you decide which capitulations you're going to make? I didn't love my last name growing up. Having got through that, I was in no hurry either to give it up nor to foist it on the next generation.[/quote]
