Lego that you can build and play with him, trains, Hot Wheels and tracks, books since he either started or will start reading soon, a small tent you can set up inside where he can just hang out and play, board games, pretend kitchen and cooking items, arts and crafts supplies, outdoor toys like a bike or scooter.

You'll notice that I did not list any electronic toys like tablets or game systems. He is at the age he needs interactive toys that can be shared and played with others.

Father of 5 just for reference.

Time. Toys and things can be replaced; when time is gone, it's gone.

Ask him what he wants?

LEGO is top notch but break out of building sets per instructions. Buy some base boards with roads, some accessory packs from amazon (trees, plants, garbage cans etc) and build a mini city or fairground or race track using bricks freestyle.

A creation preempted by you but completed by both of you is the gift that keeps giving.

Thank you 🙏 that’s a wonderful idea!

A2, wonderful idea 💡 I have that on the list 😜

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

I’m frustrated as hell with my manager and my career advancement. What makes it worst is, she is a black woman as well.

This experience was all gained without me having my bachelors in Finance and Accounting (I have it now). The rest in the comments…
