@Sparklyring - I don't understand why people who use Ms use it so people don't know their marital status?!
And I don't understand why people feel the need to advertise their marital status.
I'm proud to be Mrs DH Surname
It's hardly a major achievement! I'm proud of lots of things but snagging a man is not really up there.
would hate either of us to have a separate name to our kids.
Why? Neither I, dh nor my dc have any issue with having different surnames. Most of my friends are the same.
I also know no body who actually uses it in real life.
Interestingly, the only women in my social circle who don't use Ms use Dr.
