Call me a douchebag.. But I think that they have a lot of kids because it somehows gives them a wider chance of having successful children. o.O Y'know, Hmong parents are always wanting their kids to become dentists and doctors.. But it's not like Hmong parents aren't realistic. They know it's not easy to become succesful..

So, if the oldest kid becomes a hobo, you still got the second one. That's the kind of mentality I get from my parents. :[

But there's always the fact that baby boys are still regarded as very precious (I agree, by the way) in the Hmong culture.

They continue carrying the clan name.

Anyhow, my parents kept trying to have a boy, but got only girls. That explains why there are seven of us, the first three of us just one year apart.

Yeah; reminds me of my History class; when Chinese people appreciated boys over girls.
But then you know how the Hmong people prefer boys over girls?
Then the boys are raised up to think that they're better then the girls. They're only "suppose" to be good obedient wives who puts up with all their s**t.

Grrrr. I have a strong dislike in mongmongs like that.

I think it's because they want their kid to carry on their family name etc. but hopefully the new gen. aren't like that. XD

[CrimsonsDecayingRose]

oh, sorry about the not including 'maybe' thing... this is the first poll i've made that actually worked; i'll keep that in mind if i make another one. Oh, and a 'large' family is whatever you imagine 'large' to be. I guess you can just reply that you're a maybe and not a definite answer....? Sorry. Dx
