[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely try to be respectful of this.  But also, many families just have one last name (I know not ALL families!).  So people default to that.  I realize now it's a thing with your parents so that makes it more irksome.  I'd probably just talk to them about it at a non-mail receiving time so they know how much it bothers you.

I do find it interesting though that so many women keep their names out of principle, [/b]but then give their children their DH's last name.  That was the main reason I changed name: to match my future kids.  [/quote]
You have no idea why women don't change their names, so please stop judging things you apparently don't understand.

My name has been my name my whole life, and I like it. I didn't in any other way assume a new identity when I got married, so it made no sense to change my name. My kids have DH's last name for the practical reason that it's harder for men to travel alone with kids who have a different last name. We did consider other combinations, but that's what worked for us.[/quote]
