How has technology changed your job?
Technology has completely transformed a mom’s job…
Earlier, I was just “Mom.”
Now I’m Mom + IT support + Data manager + Notification analyst 😄
.
From “Mom, where are my socks?”
to
“Mom, the Wi-Fi is slow.”
Because obviously, I personally control the internet of the entire country.
.
I now remember everyone’s passwords, usernames, IDs…
Except mine.
Mine is always wrong.
Even when I type it with full confidence and emotional investment 😄
.
And yes, my favorite line has also upgraded
“Sit properly… look educated!”
Now applicable for video calls, online classes,
and those moments when the camera suddenly turns on without warning 😄
.
But the real plot twist?
School communication.
.
There was a time when one diary note ruled my life.
Simple. Peaceful. Manageable.
.
Now… I live inside WhatsApp.
.
Class group.
Section group.
Whole batch group.
Parents group.
Teachers group.
Dance group.
Music group.
Drawing group.
Tuition group.
.
At this point, I don’t open WhatsApp…
I enter a battlefield. 😄
.
100 messages unread.
90 are “Thanks.”
5 are “Noted.”
3 are stickers.
And 2 are actual important ones…
which I will definitely miss 😄
.
And of course, that one message
sent at 11:47 PM
“Children have to bring chart paper, printout, glue, glitter, and full creativity tomorrow.”
.
Tomorrow means… in 6 hours.
.
Technology made things easier, they said.
Yes.
Now panic also comes in HD quality 😄
.
I’ve become highly skilled though
I can cook, reply, scroll, track chargers,
decode school instructions,
and mentally manage 27 notifications
all at the same time.
.
Basically, I’m running
a small startup called
“Family & Their Devices Pvt. Ltd.” 😄
.
No salary.
No leave.
No appreciation mail.
.
Just constant notifications…
called
“Mom… just one minute…” 😄
