[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I forgot I have an even trickier one.

Mom and kids are hyphenated Smith-Jones. Dad just has his original last name Jones but didn't add the hyphen.

Is Smith/Jones still acceptable here? Or do I do the Smith-Jones Family with a hypen instead, but that sort of ignores dad?[/quote]

In that case I do "Smith Jones Family" and allow them to either think the lack of hyphen was on purpose or by accident! Either way bases covered and no one really insulted.

I also privately think dad is a jerk for not just hyphenating his name like everyone else is. They all have to take his name but he can't add his wife's name? Come on, dude.[/quote]

Lol, seriously.

To answer your question OP, we have the same set up as the family your'e asking about. I'm Larla Kim and DH and the kids are Larlo, Larlito and Larlita Park. I would do "Park/Kim family", but also, I personally am not offended by things addressed to "The Park Family" and in conversation I often refer to our family as "the Parks". The only thing that really annoys me is people who should know better (ie not strangers or people who only know me through my kids) straight up getting my last name wrong and directly calling me Larla Park. IMO as long as you don't do that you're good. [/quote]

Same here. We mostly get the Park Family and I am fine with that.[/quote]
