Although Im not married nor have kids, i just wanted to say that, i changed my last name when my mum re-married, but my previous last name happens to be the same last name Rick has!!! Now dont get us wrong! Ricks dad was adopted into this family, so we are definatley not related by blood, although it did freak us out too when we found out! So we cant hypen names, and our kids will not miss out on having mummy and daddy with the same last name, if it came down to that i would change my name back (if we arnt married by then), i guess we are kinda lucky there.

BUT............

People look at weirdly when we tell them we have been together for 3 1/2 yrs and we are NOT married and DONT have kids! they think there is something wrong with us! Hello its not the same thing for everyone!! and then get the complete opposite when i tell the same people we are trying!!! telling me we should wait enjoy life while we can (is being a mother a death sentance??!!) and if it happens then it happens we shouldnt worry about trying now!! talk about a walking contridiction!!!!
So i guess it comes from all sides of things, no matter what your situation, you are bound to get comments!
