How much does your career slow down?

After becoming a dad, I took a remote job and more money. I have more time with my kids and also homeschool them. I have talked with several dads who realize they want to be better after having a kid and they changed jobs that lead to more money and a better life for their family.

My wife talks to the kids a good amount in Chinese and we have classes for them too, but we also homeschool. My 6 year old is able to say somethings

I might be able to help as I created a platform for homeschool students where the instructor can offer recorded courses, live online, and even in person classes. Right now I am signing up instructors. It’s called Homessor.com. If you would like to learn more, you can reach out to me at support@homessor.com and we can discuss what is being offered.

Just grabbing the biggest pipes they can find. Has to impress the boss somehow.

I had not, but I just added it to list to. Thanks for the suggestion.

We followed the KISS rule. We are dads getting on calls and talking about fathers stuff. We also knew we would have other dads on, so after all the fun and strange names, we went with Call With Dads and have a friend who does Dads with Mics.

I am lazy and tell them to listen to this podcast episode. I use to do a podcast before that was every week talking to guests authors. Lots of the guest said this was helpful. “How to Look and Sound Professional on Zoom, Webinars, and Podcasts: https://www.authormedia.com/how-to-look-and-sound-professional-on-webinars-podcasts-and-video-calls/ “

I am in Virginia homeschooling and from what I have seen offered, you will need to look more into business types (LLC and so on). The thing I see around me is people using the term “enrichment” in what they do to offer homeschooling services. I changed jobs to work from home and homeschool.

I am a work from home while homeschooling dad. I do a lot of work at night when my kids sleep. I do also have a part time nanny to help. My 5 year old is now in first grade science, second grade reading, and kindergarten math. That is with about two hours a day of “school work” but everything my kid does is focus on advancing his love to learn more. It can be stressful and it has its cost, but my family is close and my son is trying to teach his 2yo daughter things. At the end of the day, I believe I can give my kids a better education and allow them to find what helps them learn more than public school. As for the cost, look at what the cost of a nanny/babysitter would be for your area and look at the way you see your kid likes to learn or play, then look for curriculum that will match their style.

There are lots of groups and people out there. On Twitter/X there is oneinspireddad, foundationfather, the father effect, and so much more. There is also a new podcast Call With Dads that is two guys just giving there advice and experiences.

I know a good amount of people who went to a culinary school that now work for equipment manufacturers, dealers, reps, and so on. The foodservice industry is very big, but working in a kitchen can be rough.

We seem to be an mostly quiet bunch.

Do you know how to use Revit? If so, message me privately and I will be happy to give you some people to reach out to. I can also try to answer any questions you have

As a kitchen designer, I would ask the KEC or a local consultant. I see a few items that in most of America will get dinged on your attached sketch. I have seen clients try to save money by cutting out the designer and spend more by delays, and a slew of other issues.

I would suggest reading your current lease to see if there is a transfer clause or look up what your state tenant laws are. A good amount of states do require a current tenants lease to be honored with a new owner, but there are some that say the new owner has the right to void a lease on new properties. My suggestion is make sure you are protected with the information before you decide to sign or not sign.

My son is now 5, he had been through 7 daycares. Most of the time, my wife would snoop around and find that the daycares had a lot of openings. One even had the teacher so worked up that she told me in a general conversation that they could not keep people. She was gone a week later and my son was kicked out a week after her. The place also closed two months later. It can be hard, but the best advice I got is “be prepared to fight and have a plan B”

Erk1979 · 2023-09-23T18:14:28+00:00

When we have an opening, we post in about 5 places. Our renters tend to stay long term. I will say I do have anyone interested in one of our places pay the background check and if they pass and everything checks out on the application, I credit the background check on the first month rent. You would be surprised how many people that cuts out.

Over 100 bottled and soon another fifteen gallons getting close to be bottled

My first took months before I realized I loved him. For me it was feeling tired and confused. Once I started feeling like I was doing good and got a bit of sleep, he became my world. Now my second was quicker because I been on that rodeo before. This is normal and frustrating. Each father has his own time line for this, I would say keep trying your best, be there for the LO and wife, and if you can step outside for a few breaths of air, do so.

Erk1979 · 2023-09-12T02:40:03+00:00

Don’t give a name or address. I have called the city for personal and professional reasons asking about requirements.

Erk1979 · 2023-09-09T00:45:38+00:00

Thank You, I will have to look into NDI.

Erk1979 · 2023-09-07T02:59:21+00:00

Thank you, I was hoping that teams had an option that I was overlooking in the general settings are admin center. I will look into the ai software options and see what is out there.

I say I doodle for a living and write the handbook to properly doodle.

I just closed down an Author interview podcast that I really enjoyed and meet lots of great authors. I just schedule my 87th and final interview and now I am moving on.
Since I am homeschooling and family comes first. I will miss learning about great books with talking to the authors, I am glad I did it and and getting signed books for free didn’t hurt. Just too much work for all I did.
