[b]But practically speaking, the world considers them the Smith-Jones family.[/b]

Professionally you can be Suzy Smith. But once Larla goes to school, you are Mrs. Smith-Jones...or more often simply "Larla's mom."

I'm curious why any mother would go to such great lengths to distinguish herself from her children? I don't get it. Again: be Suzy Smith at work, on your passport and whenever you fill out paperwork. Introduce yourself as Suzy Smith...Larla Smith-Jones mom. But for your annual holiday card or address labels, why not be the Smith-Jones family? Why???[/quote]

Please stop speaking for the world. YOU consider them the Smith-Jones family.

Are you also curious why any father would go to such great lengths to distinguish himself from his children? Professionally he can be John Jones, but once Larla Smith-Jones goes to school, he is Mr. Smith-Jones...or more often simply Larla's dad?[/quote]

Yes, the same goes for dad. He is Larla's dad. Kids will call him Mr. Smith-Jones if that's Larla's lastname. Most kids assume that families have the same last name unless there's a divorce/remarriage. [/quote]
