[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate you taking the time to post that, but I am not going to assume that your husband would be 100% ok with you keeping your name and you not giving the kids his name. You gave him the recognition he deserves and I'm certain he's happy about it. It's easy to say after the fact that he would have been ok with anything. Why don't you suggest changing your name and your kids names and see how he feels? This is just a tough issue. Women want to keep their names because it has become a part of their identity. Women want to be able to pass some part of their name to the next generation also. And many men spend their whole lives imagining starting their "Smith" family and fully embracing the responsibility and honor that comes from being a father and a provider for a family And the reality is when two people join to form one family, something has got to give. This isn't an everybody wins scenario.[/quote]
