I have the same issue with my 10yo 😞 I’m dreading the teen years

Each of mine was different. Give yourself some grace- they know you well and can push just the right buttons. At my best, I am able to walk away and come back when things are calmer. “Needing” to walk the dogs still helps give space to arguments. We also set very firm boundaries with consequences for crossing. I was the strict mom of their friend group but my kids thank me for it now.

Don't try to control them, try to teach them through words, actions, and consequences.

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.

If you had a table of customer experience/satisfaction survey responses for several questions (non-numeric but discrete possible answers, no free text; 1 question per column and 1 responder per row), how would you approach determining significant insights within the data? Excel's "Analyze Data" feature doesn't really suggest things that make sense in the real world. Is there something you would try with correlations somehow, or would you use a non-Excel tool entirely?
