my dad pt3
PART 3
That's when the bubble boasted. The fifth child was a boy. My dad came back to being his normal self. Loving, always smiles, spending time more at home with us or maybe not exactly us. But with his boy. He said girls are useless. One day they will just marry off and will be of no use to him. Only useful to their husbands. So he sees no reason why he should have many girls like the way he had. So now I was beginning to understand at a point that dad was quarreling with mom because she is giving birth to girls. So as a child I understood her pain in my own little way. That made me distant from my dad. Especially, when he wouldn't pay our fees until we come and beg him and he ends up beating and insulting us before he giving us whatever he wants and ask us to meet mom for the rest of the fees. I hated that and that made me feel really bad about my dad.
