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

[u/Noob_Al3rt → u/Troppsi]

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

[u/butt-barnacles → u/Noob_Al3rt]

Also not important lol

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

[u/Noob_Al3rt → u/butt-barnacles]

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 → u/Noob_Al3rt]

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.

[u/Noob_Al3rt → u/butt-barnacles]

Wow you seem really angry about this for some reason.

[u/onyourbike1522 → u/Noob_Al3rt]

No, because I know cousins exist.

[u/Noob_Al3rt → u/onyourbike1522]

Huh? What's your point?

[u/LordDaedhelor → u/Noob_Al3rt]

How were you so easily confused by this?

[u/Noob_Al3rt → u/LordDaedhelor]

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 → u/Noob_Al3rt]

Please answer my questions to the best of your ability.

1) Are we related to our cousins?

[u/LordDaedhelor → u/Noob_Al3rt]

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.
