Perhaps not having her father as a role model means that the girl looked for a role model elsewhere. This is why some men can be so terrible to abandon the family. This is the result they don't think about. <em>they went to the police for help. a check with the immigration showed that he had left the state for KL. other than that nobody knows.</em> I guess the issue is not about boy or girl.

What's more pressing is how the child was raised, and the childhood he/she had. The upbringing. Having a son could be just as equally challenging. <em>a son can carry on the family name</em> I don’t think it’s about having daughters or sons – gender should never be in question.

However, I understand their reasons, and they work really really hard for this family, and the company. And I am shy to get money from them, besides, I always thinking the best way to pay back, from my academic, my karate medal(last time), to buy my own stuff with blogging money, and even they want to support my university course, I insist to take loan and pay back myself. Really thank you to you 2 who rise me up, and provided me with basic requirement. thank you.
