i agree with Vimhlub, as many people nowadays tell their kids...with
this rate of changed, we don't expect any favor or return from your
children. it seems that by having you or not having your children...it
means the same. we cannot count onto you in our golden days any
more... today, they already had Kajsiab House, soon we will be having
senior home for mhong elders...like you and I..so that we won't be
very lonely at the end of life (in that case, i would love to live
close to Nhubkaj...LOL).
the bigger question shall be directed to "NhubKaj", isn't that we live
in this country, so that mhong men were living under the women's legs
that is the very reason that the sons are no longer able to protect
and/or help their mother and father--because it is either her way, or
hit the highway?
