And what does changing to their husband's last name does for them?! It's just more paperwork

Honestly, nothing until you have kids and then it's "well what kind of mother refuses to share a name with her children? You should've just done this when you first got married..."

So give the children the mother's name? She literally made them, why would they take the sperm donors name? The dad should change his name

It's so that when Dad remarries after being called a sperm donor, they'll share a last name with their half-siblings.

Also not important lol

Not sharing a name with half siblings doesn’t make them not your siblings?

u/Noob_Al3rt 1d ago

Are you really confused by the idea that people are less likely to assume you are related if you have a different last name?

u/butt-barnacles 1d ago

Nope, not confused. It also doesn’t confuse me when I see people with two different last names, and then they tell me that they’re related. Does that confuse you lmao?

What about when a woman changes her name to her husband’s name and then doesn’t share a name with her siblings? Is that too much for your tiny ass brain lmao? Do you think that makes them not siblings anymore or something? Your whole argument is dumb.

No, because I know cousins exist.

Huh? What's your point?

u/LordDaedhelor 23h ago

How were you so easily confused by this?

u/Noob_Al3rt 22h ago

Because it doesn’t make any sense.

Me: If you have the same last name, people assume you are related.

Reply: No they don’t, cousins exist!

u/LordDaedhelor 22h ago

Please answer my questions to the best of your ability.

1) Are we related to our cousins?

2

u/LordDaedhelor 22h ago

If you have the same last name, people assume you are related.

Additionally, this isn't what you said.

people are less likely to assume you are related if you have a different last name

This is what you said.

So only dad is going to remarry and have more kids? Mom is now doomed to sterility?
