Parents hindering you from God's work? Disown them! Do you know how crazy and backward that must have seemed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photosynthesis Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 [quote name='Sojourner' date='Feb 13 2006, 12:29 PM']I wouldn't do hyphenated. I think that's dumb. [right][snapback]885793[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Me neither! What really boggles my mind is, what do you do if you have a hyphenated last name, and your husband has a hyphenated last name? [quote name='Raphael' date='Feb 13 2006, 12:39 PM']I mean when I'm filling out forms and stuff. It always made me feel like my parents were divorced or something, putting down two names...until I filled out the address...then I felt like my parents were, in Dr. Laura's terms, "shackin' up." [right][snapback]885811[/snapback][/right] [/quote] yeah... even after my parents divorced, my mom still kept my dad's name because she wanted to make it easier for me. That, and I think she kept her married name because it would tick my dad off [quote name='Raphael' date='Feb 13 2006, 12:51 PM']Which is ironic considering that the mom has to be Jewish for you to be considered Jewish. [right][snapback]885839[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I think that tradition began during a time when the Jews were enslaved.... I think it was by the Babylonians or the Romans. Because so many Jewish women were being raped by marauding soldiers, it was often the case where the identity of a child's father was unknown. So many Jewish children were being raised as Jews, but only had 1 Jewish parent. However, if a child has a Jewish father, but a Gentile mother, the child is not Jewish because the rule was meant to accomodate women who had been raped.

photosynthesis Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 [quote name='Raphael' date='Feb 13 2006, 01:15 PM']I don't know what the Church says on the matter, but I'm going to refuse to go to weddings of that type...I'll just flat out refuse and tell them politely why. St. Thomas More, pray for us! (I ask his intercession because...well...he seems like the type of guy who would also refuse...)

Sojourner Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 My name is my reputation. I've worked really hard to build it, put a lot of blood sweat and tears into it. If I'm going to keep working in my chosen field, trading that in on a professional level might not be the best option for either me or my husband. It's not just people in my field that know who I am, but all the people I write about know me by a certain name. Even if we wanted to start a family right away, and I planned to stay home while the children were small, I'd probably still want to freelance -- using my maiden name -- because that's how I'm known professionally. I also don't want to hurt my chances of being able to re-enter the workforce at some time. You never know what's going to happen, and I don't think it wise to expect a woman to just drop out of the workforce altogether. I'd probably be most willing to do like my boss does and keep my maiden name for professional purposes, or keep it as my middle name and just use all three names professionally.

[right][snapback]885935[/snapback][/right] [/quote] ah, well then. If they were non-Catholic, I'd definitely be a bit more tactful. I probably would use a book like "Open Embrace" (which is written by a Protestant couple) and a Bundt pan or whatever. But if a couple is getting married in the Catholic Church and refusing to abide by her rules, I'd be a bit more aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
