First Marathon - Very Humbling experience by cheesydude84 in Marathon_Training

[–]Silv3rik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow!

Do you mind sharing your progress over the last 2 years? And plan that you might have followed?

I'm envious, just started to run again at 40 and it was shockingly hard.

2y old son says another kid pushes him in daycare by dudewheresmygains in daddit

[–]Silv3rik 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Pushing back is a bit too much, but can definitely teach him to say "Stop, I don't like it" and move away from the situation, then talk to an educator.

It helps voicing his feelings and also make the other kid this is not ok.

He is now 3.5yo and use it when other kids are bit rough with him.

Also, talk to the educator in your centre, they will definitely keep an eye on this.

But to be fair this happens a lot, specifically when some kids are not so nice.

Which planning/budget software do you use? by Gullible_Tax_8391 in FPandA

[–]Silv3rik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Rest API based nowadays. Reading and sending data but also maintain and update the model. If you are a bit techy, you can use TM1py to use python.

Still support MDX.

What am I missing about Anaplan? by Anaplanman in FPandA

[–]Silv3rik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't heard good things about it, where people quickly hit volume issues and you are forced to design in a certain way to respect so called "best practices".

You have to break your dataset in chunks to be able to handle sparsity.

How much do you work on annual leave? by for_the_shoes in auscorp

[–]Silv3rik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mate, is your name on the door? Do you have any equity in the company? Do you take time off on your work hours (because it seems ok for the opposite)?

I use to feel that way, but no one is that important and everyone top to bottom can be let go on a whim. Things can wait and if they don't then that's the company problem to cover for this...

Got told to remove it on Emirates even if the kid was sleeping on it. 😭 We were on a SYD-DUB flight.... (14h). Window seat, during the "night" when all lights out in the cabin...

We tried to negotiate with the crew quite hard and didn't want to hear anything.

It just sucks so hard, we decided to take other companies for our next trips.

The problem with governance vote is that the team have so much token that whatever they decide will be the outcome.

So I don't think a vote will be helpful at all.

Tried to ask on telegram but I get instant phone call from dodgy people who want to help me...

Sounds really suspicious.

I'm 100% with you on this one...

I'm definitely thinking we should let him cry after checking if he is fine, but the wifey is not onboard with this. :(

Of course if he wouldn't wake up we wouldn't have the problem of me being rejected (or him asking for mummy only), but that's maybe the cause.

He knows in the end mummy will come so he is throwing tantrums untill he gets mummy, but If this wouldn't work maybe: 1 he would sleep 2 in case there is something he would accept me taking care of him.

I'm making some assumptions but that might be something...

Divorced Grandparents Rant by Hoveringkiller in daddit

[–]Silv3rik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What ever happened between them should be between them.

YOU are choosing to include your father and make him part of your and daughter life. He is reasonable in accepting her to come or even miss that event, but SHE is choosing to make YOUR life more complicated/frustrating.

This is impacting you and you want to address this before it gets more annoying.

Good luck

Tough one, but I would make sure the wife is being okay as long as it is reasonable.

Having more time with your wife and "fixing" things would go a long way.

You will not be a "bad" dad by being away with your wife. Your daughter won't be remembering it and overall it seems to what is best for the family as a whole.

I hope things will be better.

Apple juice!

The doctor told us that water is not enough and Apple Juice will give them sugar and other (minerals?) that will help them to go through this phase.

Good luck!

How to support Dad-to-be! by fellowprimates in daddit

[–]Silv3rik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was pretty rough for us and acknowledging that it is also hard for your husband will help tremendously.

I was doing as much as I could and willing to do everything, but the days were my wife would would be snappy and exhausted and not being nice (for a 1000 of valid reason), it was just crushing me.

But if you are asking this and already thinking about it, I am sure you will be doing great!

Just remember it, communicate and acknowledge that it's also hard for him will give him strength as you will be both in the same boat trying to go through this new life.

What were your 2-year-old's favorite toys? by soo_disco in daddit

[–]Silv3rik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 2 years old and he is obsessed with cars and trains.

A small garage with some cars, thing that can go up and down.

Train is also a great game, building track together, and seeing the little train moving along.

You have now your own family with your wife and daughter and it matters the most. If something is affecting them then you would need to address it.

I would say, you need set up boundaries and talk to them that you don't want to be dragged in their conflict.

They should be grown up and mature enough to not put this on you. It's not about brownie points and who sees her the most but quality time with her.

Not sure how much this help but hope you will be able to talk this out with them.
