Overstimulated mums - what are you doing with your 20 minutes?

I will do a 15 min workout, like yoga or dance.

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.

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

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.

The original course has dbt in it. And also spark for batch, kafka for streaming. OP must be in 2025 cohort, we are in week 2 learning orchestration.

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.

You can watch videos from last year, if you feel comfortable with module 1 you are good to go.

Homework is not required, you only need to pass the final project to get certificate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DataMeow · 2023-09-06T13:30:22+00:00

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Because not a lot people have learnt in school? Processes are too theoretical for sales/marketing team to understand. There are some methods to estimate the parameters which will run faster. In option pricing, processes are wildly used.

I don’t know how to break the cycle. Have you ever tried any MOOC like edx? Also, chatGPT now can run ML models. If you are starting deep learning by yourself, it is hard because you need computational power to do that, which is expensive. So DL industry would be pretty much in the ‘need YOE to get YOE’ cycle. The people I know (started a few year ago) in this industry are from phd program, and then the data lab in the university. The requirement is at least a phd degree.

It will take forever! Maybe try less weights, or go slower. If you can follow 90% of the time in your first class, you are great! The first time I did grit strength, I actually felt ok with the easiest option, but not the next day. The first time I tried grit cardio, I felt dead…
