I Kept My Name Both Times

The boy and I were at a parent/kid event the other day; it was billed as a "community building" thing, meet other parents, talk, learn about small businesses, etc. I had to make all the effort, naturally (seems to be a theme lately). I introduced myself to 4 moms, held 3 stilted conversations, and tried to talk to one dad, who ignored me. Granted his kid was throwing a ball around, so the dad was distracted.
Anyway, one mom's name tag said, "DD's and DD"s Mom." She had twin girls. Her own name wasn't even on the tag.
No thanks. I kept my own last name when I got married and as much as I love my kid, I'm not pitching my identity for him either.
