Systems engineering and motherhood! - ParenthoodDiaries #88

 Systems engineering is continuing to deepen within me, courtesy my motherhood journey.

Every single time I'm vague in telling things to my kids or when I just go with implicit understanding, they ask me to specify.
"Amma, do you need us to get 5 things or 6 things?"
"Do you want us to come back home within 30 minutes or 45 minutes?"
"No, it's not black colour, it's a grey shade"
"It's not 10'o clock, it's 10 hours 10 minutes"
"Why didn't you say you meant 'Eyes'' and not 'Ice'?"
"Why didn't you say that the wall-clock would break if I hit a sixer?"
"What do you mean the sunrise happened, is the sun at 15 degrees or 30 degrees now?"
As the kids grow, the depth of their questions is growing! I'm certain of a great difficulty, but a beautiful ride ahead.
I wonder how closely merged 'life' and 'work' are, and how easy it is to hit the balance if we get habitual to look at them in the right perspective, if not always but a majority of times!
