[quote=CA renter]Which brings me to my next question…
If SAH spouses and alimony awards are “relics from days gone by” and no longer appropriate, would you agree that the tradition of a woman taking a man’s name and naming her children after him is equally inappropriate? After all, these traditions are carried forward from times when women and their children were the property of men. There is far less justification for this tradition than for alimony awards for SAHPs.[/quote]
I took my wife’s name. Early adopter in the hyphenation trend. My kids are hyphenates. Sure things are ok now. The problems will occur if they wed hyphenates and their offspring wed hyphenates. Several generations of hyphenates is enough…
That daid, I’m considering changing my name to another last name after 20 years of hyphenation.
