    I don’t have kids, but when I was a kid I talked to my parents in the morning while getting ready, and called them when I got home. How much more communication do parents need these days?

      The whole world has moved away from planned lives to more interrupt-driven, including kids

      – “grandma is sick: Stacy’s Mom is picking you up”

      – “Dad, I want to hang out with my friends after school. Is that ok and can you pick me up later?”

      – “ Dad, I missed the bus. Help”

      — “Dad, I need money for this field trip where I never brought home the form, and it’s today”

      —“Dad, soccer practice is at a different field today, can you please pick me up there instead?”
