[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very annoying. My own parents, my brother, and just about everyone in DH's family "forget." I just had a book published is November, name prominently on the cover, sent copies to everyone, and still they sent Christmas stuff to "Larlo and Larla Lastname." Clearly, there's a whole lot of passive-aggressive going on.[/quote]

Or they might just think you use your given name professionally and married name in your personal life. Why assume the worst?[/quote]

Because I've only told them a million times. They asked when I got married. "I've decided to keep my name." they asked again when my first book was published. "I've kept my name."  They ask when they see my name as the return address. "I've kept my name."

We've been over it countless times. They've made the choice not to respect my decision.[/quote]

OP, you're not only bitchy, you're petty as hell. You know full well that can cash those checks, yet you're purposely not doing it, and for what? What are you proving to anyone? Nothing. Absolutely. Nothing. Stop being such a witch about this non-issue. It's pretty rare for us to have a consensus on DCUM re: post responses but it seems everyone here is telling you the same things: That you CAN cash the checks. That YOU are a making a mountain out of a molehill. And that YOU need to LET IT GO. Take a hint and listen to our advice. Unless you enjoy being miserable. Then, by all means, continue being miserable. But stop asking for advice. [/quote]
