Yes, I dont understand why. My mother did this. I have no idea why.

BooBooGlass · 08/10/2010 17:38

Because it's their name too?Hmm
I'm goign to be nice and assume youre talking about Cheryl Tweedy Cole, otherwise tbh it is odd that you are bothered.

Lolass · 08/10/2010 17:40

Yes, very odd !
Perhaps a name doesn't mean much to them but for me it is important. I use both my own surname and my husbands.

DaisyDaresYOU · 08/10/2010 17:41

it bothers me alot tbh.This woman walked out on kids hated dp with a passion but kept his name.No its not her name,She was born as something else

for me it's because my dd wants us to share our name. my dd is 8. I don't think i would consider changing mine until dd grows up and changes hers.

I do see what you mean though. I would feel very odd not being mrs piratecat at the moment, only becuase she's so young, and her dad doesn't bother with her. She likes the unity the name sharing suggests. I am not a fan of my ex, and i guess i would consider changing mine, maybe to Depp one day? Wink

DaisyDaresYOU · 08/10/2010 17:43

I just hate she has my Kid's last name.I was stupid really,Thought dp was gunna marry me never happened.Think im more upset than angry

OP posts:
DaisyDaresYOU · 08/10/2010 17:44

I think it's making me Question my dp honesty

OP posts:
BooBooGlass · 08/10/2010 17:44

Then I think this is clearly about more than the surname. You are jealous that he married her and not you?

BooBooGlass · 08/10/2010 17:45
Shock It's making you question your dp??
WhatsThatDuckDoingThere · 08/10/2010 17:45

You think that's weird? My mum kept her married name (the name she took when she married my dad) when she married another man after he had died.

I can't imagine why he ever felt a bit peeved about it Grin

I'm not divorced so perhaps don't know what I am talking about but I consider my married name to be my name. I met DH when we were 17 and we were married before we graduated so essentially all my adult life it has been my name. Its the name I use profesionally, its on all my certificates etc. Its embroidered onto my 'clean' clothes at work, the vast majority of my friend have only ever known me with my married name. I don't feel as if I would want my maiden name back, but its hard to say because I don't hate DH.

MissDolittle · 08/10/2010 17:49

x posts.

We see to have moved on from names

BooBooGlass · 08/10/2010 17:50

Your posts are too garbled to understand

BalloonSlayer · 08/10/2010 17:53

Are you trying to say you think she keeps the name to wind you up because she was married to him and you are not?

phipps · 08/10/2010 17:54

You sound a tad jealous.

I suspect that some women keep their ex husbands surname after a divorce for a variety of reasons and one will be to have the same name as their children.

DaisyDaresYOU · 08/10/2010 17:56

Sorry.I Don't know why im jelous,maybe because its a reminder he once loved someone enough to marry them.I don't feel it.I just get shouted at and insulted most days.Been with him a good few years 2dcs

But why change it in the first place ?
As I've said, I combined mine, which is a cop out.
most of my friends just keep their own names.

DaisyDaresYOU · 08/10/2010 17:58

I know its silly to be jelous.But she was horrible to her kids.I just dont understand it from her pov

OP posts:
Lolass · 08/10/2010 17:58

...and give their kids both.
