[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept my maiden name because I was well established career-wise and my last name was part of my identity. Those reasons didn’t apply to my children.[/quote] +1[/quote] +2 I don’t know why people are so hung up on this. They’re names. I am my own person, my children are their own people. Because we don’t share a name, doesn’t mean they are any less my children. [/quote] Not to you, but it sounds like you're the nanny or they're your step-kids if you fill out a form. [b]Without going into details about my former job, I used to have to ask for birth certificates to prove that moms were actually the mothers of their children if they didn't share the same last name[/b].[/quote] How long ago was this? I'd say probably 1/4 of the moms in my DC neighborhood kept their maiden name. I also did and I can't recall ever being asked to produce a birth certificate to prove maternity.[/quote]
