Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
I have a friend who is an only child. Married to a husband in Henan. When she got married, her mother's family did not ask the man for a penny of the bride price, and the cost of buying a wedding house and the decoration of the wedding room was half of that of the man. She has been working since her marriage and earns well. The family's expenses have always been AA with the man.
To sum up, my friend never spent a penny on the man from beginning to end.
After marriage, my friend gave birth to two sons, the eldest son is 4 years old this year, and he is directly with the man's surname. The youngest son has just been born for less than a month, and he has not yet applied for a birth certificate.
My friend discussed with her husband whether she could let her youngest son take her last name?
Unexpectedly, her husband didn't think about it, and replied directly to my friend with three words: "Impossible!" Then my friend asked him tactfully, what if I really wanted this child to have my last name! Because I am an only child, I want to surprise my parents.
Unexpectedly, her husband still rejected her categorically. And let it out, unless there is a divorce and one for each of the two children, don't even think about it!
This rough attitude made my friend very sad, and she felt that she was not asking too much. I didn't expect her husband to ignore her feelings at all and say such ruthless words.
That's why my friend has been thinking about getting a divorce lately.
I remember that when I was working in Zhejiang, I had a colleague in the unit who was a son and a daughter. The daughter has her father's surname, and her son has her mother's surname. Because, for the open-minded people of Zhejiang, it is not a matter who the child has with the surname.
I don't understand, why is it 2023, why is my friend's husband's thinking still so old-fashioned? Now how do I persuade my friends?
