Am I the only girl that feels this way??

Recently the topic of me marrying my man has come up. Not me telling my kids, but my kids actually asking me about it... in a good way.

Anyways, I assumed that I would hyphenate our last names (I kept my married as I did not want to have a different last name from my children). My children actually WANT ME to take my current beau's last name and DROP THE NAME OF THEIR FATHER!

I don't quite know what to make of this.... or what I will decide. But this is not that big a deal to me. My guy and I had broched the topic and he is cool with whatever I want - hyphenating, taking his name or actually even going back to my maiden name... any combination or dropping a last name altogether LOL! The only thing he cares about is my being happy and all of us being together.

I love tradition and have my husbands name. I would have felt like he wasn't good enough for me if I didn't have his name. I'm very pro-marriage. I have been married for almost 13 yrs and have 3 wonderful little girls. Marrigage is a wonderful thing with the right person

I totally agree! I like tradition too and when I get married I will definitely take my husband's name. I know who I am and I don't need my last name to keep my identity. I think people should do what works best and is comfortable for them.
