[quote=Anonymous]There is a difference between taking your husband's name and having people refer to your whole family as "the Hinklebottoms". I had not seen anyone do this since my childhood (and I'm in my 50s now) until I moved to the DC area about 10 years ago. I thought calling a whole family "the whatever's" was a very 1950s thing. Whether you have your husband's (or wife's) last name, or have them hyphenated, referring to a family as "the whatevers" is dated and somewhat stepford creepy to me. Again, never encountered this as an adult until I moved here. [/quote]
