The title of my blog may need to be explained. When Greg and I married I keep my own name. Some people have been living in a cave through the feminist movement, so we have encountered a lot of funny questions about this. Here are some:
Q: Is that legal?
A: Your last name doesn't automatically change. You have to legally change if you choose to.
Q: Did your husband let you do that?
A: You stupid @$#!& I didn't ask permission!
And the most common
Q: What last name will your kids have?
A: We'll just combine Mangrum and Davis into Manvis or Dangrum. This usually shuts up the person who is dumb enough to think we're serious.
This also shows me what people with children already know. People feel they have the right to inflict their opinion onto our now non-existent children and parenting. I can't wait for when we actually have kids so I can get all that great advice from complete strangers or insignificant acquaintances.
