Like many other children, my daughters seem to get into all kinds of trouble.

(For example, the story on this page.)

However, I seldom receive stories of trouble.

-----

The Ebata family seems to have its troubleshooting workflow system.

(Step 1) Daughter(s) → Wife to discuss the incident

(Step 2) Assessment of the severity of the problem by the daughter(s) and wife

And so far, the case seems to be generally cleared up, but very rarely,

(Step 3) Request the father (me) to solve the problem

occurs, it seems to be the case.

This is the reason why it is "unreachable."

Ebata: "Why not? My response and solution to their problem is sure and fast."

Wife: "Yes. So far, I've seen 'the first missile fired, usually within two hours of consulting.'"

Ebata: "Well..."

Wife: "Because your solution is to launch a tactical nuke into an infantry battle."

-----

Yeah, that may be true.

My solution is often to 'blow up the entire conflict zone,' including allies.

For example,

- If club activities are the problem, then the club will be discontinued.

- If the school is the problem, get the principal out of office or, if possible, close the school.

- Skipping the prior consultation between the parties and starting legal proceedings out of the blue

In other words, "to eliminate the cause of the problem at its root.

So, when my wife makes a "request" to me, she will also attach a "compromise" to it.

For example, 'I don't mind sacrificing a couple of people, but it doesn't have to drive us to abolition.

My wife (civilian officer) directs the strategy, and I (military officer) plan and execute the tactics.

This is the "Ebata Family Civilian Control".
