I don’t want to change my kids names because they are 5 and 8 and my 5 year old JUST learned how to spell it. Lol. They also have my last name as a second middle name. But that said, our names do combine in a neat way. My last name is two English words squashed together and his last name is two Swedish words squashed…

Will consider if name is acceptable. I had a middle school science teacher called Mrs. Butts. I want none of that. Who CHOOSES to be Mrs. Butts? And then teaches middle school?

But I digress.

Well I’ve certainly had a lot of time to consider! Ha. I was REALLY opposed when we first got married. The opposite of your friends - I’d have never considering changing it.

That’s the weird thing. I’ve never once had to explain it. I guess people are pretty used to parents and kids having different last names these days. It’s never come up. Usually when you sign them up for things you have to put both your names on, so I do that and that’s the end of it. So it’s not been a hassle in any…

So this is weird. I’ve been pondering changing my last name so it’s the same as my husband and kids. We’ve been married for ten years and I never once thought about changing it, but now I have this inexplicable desire to do so. Why? I don’t get it.

The comments are worth scrolling past to get to the replies. And also I’m getting white man’s tears for lunch - the ultimate fuel!

We hit 16 years in a week. The more time I spend with him, the less I can imagine ever not wanting to be with him. I guess we are lucky. And also I legit married the best person in the world.

Just a few weeks ago, my husband intervened at airport check in when some guy was yelling a bunch of disgusting insults at a female airline employee. He told me about it later and I was so happy that he stepped in. Now I’m sitting here wondering if he’ll get stabbed for that one day. Wtf.

I’m going to go to Manchester, find Steven Ireland, and buy him a beer. Or ten.

There’s very little I would want to see less while in hospital than Piers Fucking Morgan.

I have two decks. My reddit AMA is forthcoming.

Yup. It was just exactly what was running through her head. I don’t think I ever had a bad word to say about her before, but I think her words and actions after this tragedy have been lovely and honest.

This guy is the biggest fucking douchebag. I love how he totally knows how he would react to a completely bizarre and horrific event that he’s never experienced. Fucking insufferable.

Trudeau is not my favourite person in the world, but my high school drama teacher was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met and I would totally vote for him if he was running for anything. I don’t get the drama teacher shaming.

How about a luxury menstruation hotel suite? Room service, jetted tub, mini bar that you don’t have to pay for, big ass king bed with lotsa pillows. Yeah. I’m already feeling too dirty for general society. Banish me!

It can be whatever your heart desires.

Yes, my husband is a VP at his company and that’s how it works. So basically I just book us a vacation and tell him where we are going. Otherwise he’d work 100 hours a week all year long. Sometimes I will even let his boss know about it in advance so there can’t be any argument.

I like your style.

I think I read that in book club in 2010. That’s what got me thinking about how it wouldn’t be so bad to have my own hut. You just have to do it right. With cake and wine.

There will be special little huts out back?

To be honest, there’s something appealing about a menstruation hut, assuming it includes wine and cake. Leave me the fuck alone while I eat this wine and cake and chill with a book. Think I might just have to menstruate for 52 weeks a year.
