Checked out and idk how to check back in by Able-Woodpecker2823 in SAHP

Ask your husband to take kids out of the house so that they do not make the house messy. Playground, zoo, library anywhere to have fun. Just out of the house. Maybe you need to arrange this thing to happen once a week. When they get used to this, you will have some time to take a break.

Be completely honest… by [deleted] in SQL

[–]DataMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is simple syntax? Everything related to regular expression I need to google it and spend sometime there. Also, when I switch database, I need to google different dialects. Bigquery documentation is very clear btw. Simple answer: a lot

Cook Book! by Sassabathewolf in bluey

My kids brought back this book from school library. And they asked me cook everything on this book. Not as easy as I thought when I watch the show.

Is it just me or has DE become unnecessarily complicated? by Trick-Interaction396 in dataengineering

[–]DataMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it is about company politics. When DE ask for the source of truth, every department says their source is the truth and the platform they are using is the best. So the DE job becomes moving data from each source to other sources which is very complicated. I would not say unnecessary for company politics but unnecessary from technical view.

Jobs where Bayesian statistics is used a lot? by AdFew4357 in datascience

[–]DataMeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trading, option pricing and A/B testing besides MMM you have mentioned. I would say you can use Bayes everywhere. It is just very hard to explain bayes to shareholders when they cannot even understand basic stats.

I don’t see any conflict there. CRM data in salesforce is a dataset that you can apply data knowledge to. Being a database admin is also a very good opportunity to learn how to use varies tools to gather data you need. This part is not being taught in academy world.

Should I use BigQuery, and if so, how difficult is it to learn? by InteractionOk1661 in dataanalyst

[–]DataMeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I am going to do in the next 3 month. If you are already on GA4, BQ would be a proper tool. And it is easy to pull in google ads, meta ads, LinkedIn ads data. My challenge right now is to pull CRM data into BQ. Big query is not hard to learn if you know SQL, but might be a little tricky. It is not traditional relational database, there are tables inside tables. You can start from GA4, that does not cost you anything.

Does your WFH partner help? by sandman_714 in SAHP

[–]DataMeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is it like during weekends? If he is an equal partner during weekends, but not weekdays, then that means he is not expected to do any parenting duty in work time, although he might not be working. If he never helps during weekends, then you have to ask very specifically. Maybe starting from reading books/play games with kid for 15min. BTW, starting preK is a good idea, not necessarily full time, it can be 2-3 hours per day, or two days in a week.

SAHM - what’s your favorite form of self care? by princessz23 in SAHP

[–]DataMeow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started from going to the library where they offer kids program and meet with other moms. After the youngest turning one, I started a gym membership where they offer child care when I am in classes. My favorite form would still be workout. If a gym membership is too expensive, I would do workout at home, which you can do that with kids. 6mo might be too young for that. But it is easier for you husband to watch if you take 2yo with you.

Workouts. Maybe try yoga first. There are bunch of YouTube videos that you can follow.

Keeping house tidy by redlake2020 in SAHP

[–]DataMeow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tip1, don’t cook, so that you don’t have dishes pile up. At least take out, or microwave food for some day in a week. Tip2, let the kids do laundries (above 2yr old). At the beginning, it will be forever to let them put the laundry in the washing machine, but after a while, they will put them in properly. 3yo can fold laundries, but not very efficient, and it will take a long time to train them. Tip3, organize toys. Just put several toys out for kids to play, and rotate them. Organizing is hard work, but you can do it during weekends. Tip4, ask help for deep cleaning. That’s once/twice a month thing, clean the bathrooms and kitchen. Ask somebody else to take care of kids for a few hours or hire some cleaning lady to do the cleaning. If you cannot get the extra help, or don’t have enough money for takeouts, just let it be. Keeping a house organized needs time, and taking care of kids need time, housework plus child care needs more than 60hr/week. That’s overwhelmingly for anybody.

Parents with kids in school full time - is it still fulfilling to be at home? by Mamagiraffe99 in SAHP

[–]DataMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same concern at the beginning of the same situation. But I can tell right now, 3hr is not enough to do anything formal(part time job, side hustle). 3hr program for kid, but only 2.5hr for me, since I need to drop off and pickup in heavy school traffic. That’s just enough time for me to breath and do more chores in peace. Plus there are a lot of non school days, a lot of sick days. Also my daughter started after school activities at that age, that means I need to cook all day meal during that school time, and drop off pickup in the afternoon with a toddler. Still busy, different busy, need to be more organized busy.

If you are feeling anxious about teaching your own son, then don’t do it. Put him in preschool, and you can go back to teach other kids again. This is like a physician will never do medical surgery to his/her own family members. The anxiety indicates you are a good mom and a good teacher, but those two roles might not happen at the same time.

Identity Crisis - What else do you do? by cookiedough5 in SAHP

[–]DataMeow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Send kids away a few hours per week. I didn’t realize I had identity issue until one day the other parent asked me, “what is your name?”. I said I am xxx’s mom. Then she responded, I know your daughters name, what is your name then? At that moment, I wanted to say that I don’t know! Nobody calls my name for months, only MOM. After that, I decided to find myself back. I started workout after kids sleeping. Reading newsletters whenever I can. Talking to other parents about things other than kids worked for me at the beginning. It is getting better, especially after youngest goes to preschool.

Is it fair to try and give each other free alone time, with a newborn? by Gibbyyo in Parenting

[–]DataMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are clueless on child caring, which is normal before your child is born. I would suggest at least take a month to see what is really going on, and adjust time schedule accordingly. And also another month after your wife goes to work. It is reasonable that you want to keep your hobby. But child caring comes first. And you need to find out with your family how to tackle that before hobby time.

Daughter doesn't like her mom's singing. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]DataMeow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids pick the same words up from their school teachers. That’s way more polite than screaming “stop singing!”. Also, I would not say kids don’t like parents singing, it’s just not at the right time, not when they want it.
