I’ve been wondering if my 6 year old son has ADHD or if he’s just a really high energy kid. He’s always been active, but lately he’s always moving, talking, interrupting, and getting upset over little things.

Getting him ready for school is one of the hardest parts of our day. It’s not just that he doesn’t want to go. He has a hard time getting started in the morning. We have to remind him to get dressed, eat breakfast, and get his things ready. He gets distracted before he finishes one thing. Sometimes I tell him not to do something and he does it again a minute later. I know some of this can be normal for a 6 year old, but it happens almost every day and it’s made me wonder about ADHD.

This morning he woke up early and came into our room asking questions and telling me to get up. I told him I was tired and wanted a few more minutes, but he kept coming back and getting louder. Then he started kicking things in the room. I told him to stop but he kept going. I tried to calm him down and he got even more upset.

It’s the same at night. Even when he’s tired, he has a hard time settling down. He gets out of bed, asks for things, or keeps talking. We can spend a long time trying to get him to sleep.

We’ve tried a lot of things. Sometimes we play bedtime stories from Calm or put on quiet audio. He has a Harkla weighted blanket and his favorite stuffed animals by his bed. Lately we’ve also been using a Pococo star projector and keeping the room dark so he has something quiet to look at before bed. Sometimes it helps him settle down, but not every night.

He’s smart and very social. He has friends, likes playing with them, and can be really sweet. That’s why I keep wondering if this is just how he is or if something else is going on.

At what point did you decide to get your child evaluated? I’m worried I’m overthinking it, but I don’t want to ignore something that might be affecting him.

this workflow started very innocently: cron → login to vendor portal → download invoice → upload to Drive → Slack “done”

easy. then reality arrived. login has MFA. session should survive between runs. invoice opens in a new tab. sometimes download takes 40 seconds. sometimes there's a cookie popup. sometimes Chrome just dies.

now 5 customers need to run at the same time.

and when execution #4 fails I need to know what the browser was actually looking at.

at some point I realized I was making n8n responsible for way too much browser shit.

I still love n8n for: webhooks schedules queues branching data transforms connecting 15 random systems together

but a long-running stateful browser feels cleaner to me as its own service. so more like: n8n → send browser job → browser service does the ugly website stuff → returns result/artifacts → n8n continues workflow

if the site has a sane API, obviously use that and delete the browser entirely. browser automation is the tax you pay for systems that refuse to give you one. for the sites where it's unavoidable, something like TestMu Browser Cloud makes sense as that execution layer. real Chrome, persisted login state, parallel sessions, files/downloads, private network access, plus replay/network/console logs when a run dies.

n8n doesn't need to babysit Chrome.

it just needs to know: job started job succeeded/failed here's the file/data/evidence

I also think this makes retries less cursed. retrying an HTTP node is one thing. blindly restarting an entire browser workflow after it maybe already submitted something is very different.

small scrape? browser node is fine. one Playwright script on a self-hosted box? also fine. but once you're managing sessions + auth + concurrency + browser lifecycle inside the workflow runner...

I think you've accidentally built a browser service.

where do you guys draw the line between browser step inside n8n and dedicated browser execution outside it?

The Masters Psychological Services kasi po pupuntahan ko. Usually po tricycle po sinasakyan ko pero kung may jeep po na masasakyan mas better po. Thank you!

I choose the ₱20 option to add the raincoat through the app.

​

At the start of the ride, it wasn't raining so the rider and I opted to not use the raincoat at first.

​

At the middle, he decided to stop and ask me if I wanted to put on a raincoat since the rain decided to resume.

​

I said, yes.

​

The rider said it will be an additional ₱49

​

I said, wag nalang pala.

​

San napunta yung bente ko?
