[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several members of DH's family (grandparents, aunts/uncles) either don't know or don't remember that I kept my last name. I kept my maiden name on Facebook and they are all active users, but I digress. The past few years they have sent checks (which we are grateful for) around the holidays addressed to "Larlo and Larla Smith". Given that this is not my name, I can't do anything with these checks. We thank them and have never mentioned the name thing, but it's frustrating as a) I'd like to be addressed by my name and b) I manage our finances but can't cash the checks. Can I/he/we say anything?[/quote]

Stand true to your feminist principles OP.  When you get one of those gift checks that has your name wrong, mark it  VOID with a sharpie, return it to sender and scrawl on it "I will NEVER accept your FILTHY SEXIST MONEY!!!!  YOU thoughtless BASTARDS!!!"

I'll bet if you start following my suggestion, you won't have the problem of people sending you checks using your wrong last name very much longer.[/quote]
