Week 2 comment on Jackie's blog

Actually, to me, it’s more understandable if a wife did not want to change her last name because she wanted to maintain her recognition in her profession, then it would be simply because she wanted to demonstrate her independence. I think I would change my last name if I got married and knew I wanted children. If I decided not to have children, then maybe I will consider keeping my last name. But I don’t think a woman should feel like she is losing her identity or feel like property because she takes her husband’s name. I had a friend who’s last name was different then her mother’s and every time her mother came to pick her up at school, the office would always refer to the mother as Mrs. Logan, which was my friend’s last name. My friend hated it, but her mother understood and never corrected them. I just think it could be frustrating on the children.
