Coming from a Hispanic country, women legally don't have to change their name when they get married, but people could start calling you Mrs. Husband's last name informally and that's ok by me. When you have kids, specifically in PR, your kids must have husbands last name followed by mom's last name so your kids would be Maria Smith Peters for example. When we moved to the states I am "Mrs. Peters" officially, but then when they meet my husband and/or kids, they get all confused and when I explained they just don't understand why I would "do that to my kids". I never had a mental issue with this when I was a child. Why do people make it such an issue. I find myself explaining myself all the time. Could we just be?
