[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started looking at my DCs’ class lists after a conversation on this subject back 8+ years ago during our daycare days. In my part of DC, it’s always about 50% of mothers that keep their name, with a few more that hyphenate. Kids universally have dad’s last name if it’s a two parent household. That’s a mix of ethnicities, including Latino households where keeping your name is the cultural norm. It’s never in my decade of parenting and 15 years of marriage been a problem with school, paperwork, travel, etc. Maybe it’s different in other parts of the country, but in DC people automatically ask your last name and don’t assume.[/quote] Doubtful, you must be in a very liberal difficult women high divorce area[/quote]
