My mother kept her maiden name because of "feminist" reasons, as she says, but I think it's because my father's last name is 'Berger.' How awful.
Anyway, it was difficult for me, with my father's last name, to explain to other young children at school that my mother and my father were not divorced, or anything like that. Plus my friends always say: 'Hello, Mrs Berger' instead of 'Ms Lattimore.'
Oh yeah, she always kept the title of Ms, instead of Mrs.
My mother liked emasculation. She made Bambi a girl and Frosty a snowwoman. Also, in books, she made mama birds into daddy birds...and the like.
The strangest thing about all this is that my father works, and my mother stays home still. She hasn't held a job in 17 years.
