Genuine question as a close relative who is on a verge of giving up her career to care for kids as her kids are taking PSLE soon (P4 & P5) & she wouldn’t want her children to do badly in their exams as her children might not have a good career in the future if their studies are affected given current uncertainties in the world, things might get worse in future. Trying to think of some good advice to give her besides giving up her career.

Have y’all been in similar situation where either your parent/grandparent cared for you as a kid while you were growing up with your other parent worked or yourself/spouse/parents/in-laws currently planning/stepping in/have stepped in previously to care for your kids? How are you preparing if going to do so/How did it turn out for yourself previously as a kid/for your kid as personally had no one care for me growing up other then being provided with basic meals hence interested to know.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I recently listed an office headset on Carousell. The platform’s AI scanned my picture, auto-categorized it under "Office & Business Technology," and it even generated a title & description for me. I checked it over, everything looked correct, so I hit 'List'.

A couple of hours later, I got a notification that my account has been suspended! The reason? "Mis-categorizing" the item. Apparently, it should have been in "Parts & Accessories" instead of "Office & Business Technology."

I was given the option to accept the suspension or appeal. I immediately appealed, explaining that it seems incredibly unfair to penalize sellers for a mistake that Carousell's own AI system made. If the platform scans, categorizes, and writes the description, and it looks in order to the seller, how is it our fault?

Well, I got a notification today that my appeal was declined! No further explanation, just a big fat no.

I'm honestly shocked. My account is suspended over a category that their system picked. I even double-checked it!

Is this just me? Has anyone else been screwed over by Carousell's AI recommendation and then had their appeal declined? Feeling like there’s zero logic here.
