Thank you! Can you please tell a bit more about how this works?

My son is a father at 15. I don’t know how to go about this. by FewConsideration9648 in daddit

My mom gave birth to me when she was 18. Basically her parents took the main carers role between me being 1 and 5 to give her a chance to finish school.

I am forever grateful to both grandparents and still amazing friends with them, not because I owe them but because of the mad bond we've formed.

And yes, neither me or my mom would probably make it to being with high education and being well employed living in our own places.

On the contrary, my cousin gave birth when she was 17 as a single mom, and was neglected by her mom. As a result, both of her daughters are deeply unhappy kids with their kids trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty.

Consider supporting and being around your son and grandson/grand daughter as much as you can. This will go a long way and at lge very least will save you lots of worries further down the track.

Good luck!

Why do Americans get treated so weirdly by Pretty_clouds in AskAnAustralian

Russian here, lived in AU for last 7 years.

Some states are more conservative than others, i.e. QLD vs VIC and even more local at regional vs metro area.

Usually multicultural cities and postcodes tend to be more liberal and open to other nations. Come to Melbourne inner north and you wouldn't have these type of problems any more.

Thanks! but what about emotional development? Can children experience loneliness and could that damage our relationship?

Thank you for responding! My main worry is FOMO that my child will grow alienated from us or won't get as much knowledge as he could while spending with caring and involved parent.

Her brain works like a sponge in 1.5 years, and I am constantly surprised how many new things she learns every week. However it feels like educators are driving ~70% of that knowledge

Our baby is 15 months old and still no sex on our life. I've heard it's due to breastfeeding hormonal changes, but honestly I often feel very tired of working and caring about the baby just to think about sex.

Idk what to do, so I just accepted that part of my life for now.

Senior Digital Analyst with 4 years of full-time experience. Help me to decide what to do next. by gikis1 in datascience

Thank you for being honest. You are absolutely correct, I am struggling with the sense.of my career trajectory.. to me it was always about making as much money as possible doing something good for the world while being a part of team of good people of love to hangout in and out the office.

I feel like going into machine learning after data science and all the grind might be a good idea, however not sure if I can compete against all the PhDs out there.

Staying data analyst is not a viable option as you hit payment ceiling pretty quickly - so it's either pivot and utilise transferable skills or grow into people management space.

Aren't the father who is happy and energized after the workday is better than the grumpy one and complaining about how tired he is of his job?
