My son gettting AI nd ML in bit mesra vs IIT madras naval ocean vs bits hyd goa mechanical or bits Pilani dual degree vs iiit Jabalpur ECE vs IIT Kharagpur ocean nd metallurgy.pr coep pune cSE which will be the best sequence

Ans: As far as Naval Ocean & Metallurgy are concerned, please ask your son, is he really interested in / will he be comfortable with this stream? Avoid accepting some streams only because your son is getting confirmed admission. Not advisable. If he joins those streams which he is not at all interested and / or have less scope, he will be highly demotivated and will have negative impact on his Academic Performance & also psychologically. Now COMING to Order of Preference (1) BIT-M-AIML (2) IIIT-J-ECE (3) BITS-G-M (4) BITS-P-DUAL (5) IIT-M-Naval (6) IIT-K-O & M. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Relationship
I 32F have been dating my boyfriend for about a year now. He has a young daughter from his previous marriage, and they share custody. I’ve been trying to get along with his ex-wife, but it’s been really difficult. She often contacts him for things that aren’t urgent and it feels like she’s overstepping into our relationship, especially when it comes to decisions about their daughter. I understand that they need to co-parent, but I feel like I’m always left out or made to feel uncomfortable. My boyfriend says he tries to balance everything, but sometimes I feel like his ex-wife has more influence in his life than me. How can I set healthy boundaries with her without causing tension, and how can I talk to my boyfriend about how I’m feeling without sounding like I’m being controlling?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you are in a tricky spot but it is important to understand that when it comes to their child, they have the right to make decisions and ignore everyone else's, even yours. You should keep your relationship and their co-parenting situation separate. Having said that, if you think your BF's ex is overstepping, communicate that to your partner, while letting him know that it bothers you and might even create friction in your relationship. An open and honest discussion is the only way around it. If expressing your discomfort is causing tension or considered ‘controlling,’ then you need to rethink the relationship.

I am sure your partner is truly trying to balance things, but since he is dating you, he should be aware of the areas where that balance is lacking. Communication is the only way.

Hope this helps.
