Dear Divorced,
I'm mom of three. Kids don't get the adult inference of surnames. Their
name is their name. It wouldn't occur to a kid that a name "belongs" to
Dad, or that they could make a statement about rejecting someone by
dumping a surname. That's adult logic, not kid logic.
Not true. My daughter, when in the 7th grade, chose to use my family
name
as her last name in school - and she was absolutely making a statement
about
rejecting the father who disappeared from her life nearly 5 years ago.
Maybe as she got older she started sounding a lot like her mother and
he faded away in disgust.
Nah - he abandoned these kids in exactly the same way he abandoned his kids
from his first marriage (I'm ex-wife number 3)
He should give up a and go for a mail order bride from the Phillipines
