Pre-KG Kiddo came home with a yellow stamp for the first time. Emailed his teacher and found that he ignored her directions and went to play with his toys instead.

I think I taught him this when I ignored him to keep working on my laptop sometimes (he only goes to school three days a week for limited hours and spends the rest of the time with me, full time wfh. Wife is at office full time).

What do I do to fix this?

This is completely within the expected range of 4-5 year old behavior. It may become a thing you need to work on to help your kiddo learn the right tools. But it’s not your fault.

Nothing, you’re overthinking this.

Definitely not a problem unless you are also climbing on furniture. In that case yes, your kiddo is copying you and you should start teaching your little consultant how to make slides!

Huh?

But also —- how do you watch a kid who is pre-K while working full time?

I made an industry exit a couple years ago and now my work is basically managing a 40 member tech implementation team for a core industry area, which basically boils down to strat consulting with business and market teams, reviewing and approving my tech team’s work, helping them solve problems when they are stuck and budget allocations.

At this point, I’ve created an efficient structure in the team where my team is pretty much self empowered and I don’t have to get involved for every little detail. That combined with encouraging independent play for the kiddo helps me juggle things.

Well, except for the instances I mentioned in my post that need 💯 focus.


Multitasking is key but my team and my bosses are also super understanding of my situation and don’t mind my toddler’s inputs in some of the meetings when I’m accidentally not on mute.


You can visualize me speaking on a call (off video) with execs about some critical item while I change the kiddo’s diapers because it has legit happened multiple times at this point.

Do y’all do 15 year or 30 year for your portfolios? I personally plan to have a “job” or “career” for both the next 15 and possibly next 30 years, so should I just do 15 years to get a free and clear portfolio earlier? 25 year old and just getting started. Have a duplex in a major market (looking to refi out of FHA), and eyeing other opportunities now. I don’t “need” cash flow, so should I try to just build equity?

If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Something to brighten your day 🤗
I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
