[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not critical nor do I care what other people choose to do. But it is interesting that though I know lots of women who didn’t take their husband’s last name, I do not know a single child who has their mother’s maiden name as their surname.

For everyone saying some version of “I kept my name bc it was my identity but my children were blank slates” why does it follow that you would then give your children your husband’s name? Just because they’re a blank slate, they get their dad’s name instead of their mom’s because...?

Like I said, I really don’t care. But it does seem a little strange.[/quote]

You obviously care QUITE A LOT, Karen. Sorry it’s an extra 5 seconds of work to address Christmas cards to us! Get a job.[/quote]

NP.  You people are really defensive.  The post above does not show that she cares at all.  Also, don't worry, your Christmas card will say The Smith Family, and you can just get over the fact that you're not a Smith.[/quote]

LOL at the thought that a holiday card would be a reason to change or not change a name.

With best wishes for a 2020 from the Smith Jones Family.[/quote]
