My son is constantly overstimulated, and school was just making it worse, so now we’re homeschooling. But honestly? It’s not any better. I wanted to have flexibility to adapt to what he needs.

He doesn’t listen to me, he argues about everything, and nothing gets done unless it’s something he picked and it’s easy for him. I keep telling him, he’s not going to learn anything that way but he doesn’t care. He just shrugs or walks off like I’m the crazy one.

Everyone keeps saying, age eight is so sweet because they’re still listening to adults. Really? That is not my experience. I feel like I’m constantly chasing him, and dealing with  his energy, and maybe this is just who he is. We had him evaluated and the report said he’s smart and there’s nothing wrong. Great. So it’s just me, then?

I’m a very flexible person but I don’t know what to do. Do I just let him do whatever he wants? I don’t know anyone else dealing with this. I’m overwhelmed and I know I’m  failing at this. What do other parents do? What did you do?

My friend changes the job titles on her resume depending on what job she’s applying to. This doesn’t seem honest to me. Do you think she’ll get in trouble?

I used to write about this brother a lot. Now he’s older and he’s giving career advice to my son. Here’s what Z wrote my brother: Here’s a copy of my resume. Can you please give me feedback and also, I can’t decide between data analyst,  AI engineering, or AI research. Everyone is applying to every AI job so I think I should probably do data analyst. What is your opinion?
