It hit me last Tuesday around 6:47 PM, watching you stir dinner with one hand while reassuring our daughter about her math test with the other. Your phone was balanced between shoulder and ear, quietly handling some work emergency. The evening light caught that faint shimmer of exhaustion at your temples, and suddenly I saw […]
The walk home from school always blossoms with questions. ‘Dad, how do clouds hold our photos?’ she asked recently, kicking autumn leaves along our familiar path. That simple moment became my doorway into explaining today’s digital whirlwind – not with jargon, but through the lens of a company fighting to stay relevant in an AI
I watched her yesterday, standing at the kitchen counter with that familiar look of concentration—the one where she’s mentally calculating how many more hours until bedtime while simultaneously slicing apples into perfect moons. Parenting is hard, and that’s an actual fact we don’t say enough. But in these everyday moments, there’s something deeper happening—a quiet

Mine came last week as we folded origami cranes—her tiny fingers struggling with the paper while rain pattered against our balcony glass. ‘Appa,’ she murmured, eyebrows knitted like she’d discovered gravity, ‘If AI knows everything… does it know how to be

We were building one of those elaborate block towers that somehow always ends up looking more like modern art than architecture, and out of nowhere came this gem: ‘Appa, if robots are so smart, can they just do my homework for me?’
Remember that evening last week? The one where the tablet was playing cartoons in one corner while we were trying to have a real conversation in the other. I watched her eyes dart between the screen and our daughter’s face, that subtle tension in her shoulders. She was balancing it all – the digital world
That 4 AM Bottle Feeding Where We Found Each Other Again I read the sleep study during my 3:47 AM balcony coffee—the one where scientists mapped parents’ circadian rhythms looking like shattered stained glass. The research said we lose 27% of couple time in the first parenting years. But as I watched you sway with
You know those quiet evenings after the kids are asleep? We sometimes find ourselves scrolling through parenting forums, a little worried, a little amazed at how naturally our little ones navigate this digital world. Just this morning, watching our daughter completely absorbed in her learning app—that mix of pride and concern hit me again. It’s
