I remember when I was a kid ...Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />I remember when I was a kid how awkward it was at a Girl Guide dinner when my Mom called a friend's mother by the child's name, and was corrected. Can't remember why the names were different, but I never forgot the feeling, so that may have influenced my decision years later.<br /><br />It's all a trend, and I wonder if those who do this realize how uncomfortable others can be. There's no Emily Post book of manners for this. It was Emily Post wasn't it? Is that showing my age or what?Midweek Musimghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068845381876505653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758316076148416776.post-47273939024730862632016-02-18T11:20:41.391-05:002016-02-18T11:20:41.391-05:00First time visiting your blog :)
You brought up a...First time visiting your blog :)<br /><br />You brought up a very good point, something I hadn't thought of before, but I can see if this present trend continues, in future generations having over 8 last names hyphenated. <br /><br />I took my husband's name when we married; I was glad to leave a Polish name for a simpler name. My sister chose not to take her husband's name; but she didn't hyphenate the names. Their children of course have his last name. It is confusing though when addressing cards or whatnot to them to get everyone's names correctly :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
