[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was my name. I was an adult, not a 14 yr old stolen from her family.  I wasn't changing my name. 
And I am a SAHM.

I don't understand why people are so critical of other people's choices.  [/quote]

Ha ha, I wrote this and then I realized that with the "14 yr old stolen from her family" thing, I sounded critical.  I actually am not critical of other people's choices, I just don't understand why people think it is about not taking a man's name (it isn't) so why would we give that name to our kids, and then that is so weird for a SAHM to have kept her own name.

My decision wasn't political, and it wasn't about not taking a man's name.  I was an adult and LIKED my name and chose to keep it, and if other people want to take their husband's name, that is fine too.  We get to make our own decisions. It wasn't about not taking a man's name so the decision about my kids' names was unrelated.  It was about keeping my name.

I also admire the people who chose a completely new last name for the adults and their future children, that is very interesting!  [/quote]
