Mum Guilt and is painting a job?!
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
Every mother knows this feeling. Your needs don't always match up to your little one's needs and there is a push/pull. At the beginning you kind of have to get out of bed and feed the baby (how dare they be hungry when you're desperately trying to get just one hour shut-eye?!) and look after them the rest of the time. If you're a completely deranged control freak like me (and there are no local grandparents to detach you from your new family member) you think you should be with them all the time until you go completely mad. I don't recommend this.
N.B. This is the daycare (how fun! so much stuff! nature!) not my backyard.
My point is that we've put Salvador in daycare and I've been transitioning to this new reality, just like he has. He actually really likes it. I only rang up 12 times on the first day. It's gone down a bit since then.
He's only in two days a week, but from next week it will be three. Is this fair? Is painting a real job? Does it warrant incarcerating my child? *slight hysteria rising in voice* Well, clients are paying me to paint so it's a freelance job that's earning us an income. What about when I'm painting for an exhibition? What about when I take a break? Am I allowed to take breaks?
Most of us have to work and that usually means their children have to be looked after by others. It just feels so weird to be entirely freelance so no boss, no hours to keep to, at home, but without Salvador. I think the weird part is that painting doesn't feel like a job. It's a part of me I need to feed to calm me down and make me (relatively, ah-hem) normal. If I didn't like my job, would that validate daycare somehow?
What do you think? To daycare or not to daycare. To follow your passion and build an art career or to smother your little one in kisses all day (which let's face it, is a pretty good way to spend your time). These are my questions...

A few months ago, I faced one of the most devastating experiences of my life. I had been tricked by a fraudulent online investment scheme that stole $62,300 of my savings. That money represented years of sacrifice, late nights, and careful planning for my future. When it disappeared, I felt completely crushed. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, and I kept asking myself how I could have been so blind.
I reached out to a few places for help, but most either gave me false promises or no real guidance. Honestly, I was ready to give up. That’s when someone recommended Rapid Digital Recovery, and I decided to give them a chance. Looking back, that was the best decision I ever made.
From the very first call, their team treated me like more than just another case. They listened patiently as I explained everything, and instead of judging me, they reassured me that scams can happen to anyone. That gave me a little peace of mind, but what truly stood out was their confidence and professionalism. They knew exactly what steps to take, and they explained the process so clearly that for the first time in weeks, I felt hope again.
The journey wasn’t easy, but Rapid Digital Recovery never gave up on me. They worked tirelessly, tracking digital trails, piecing together evidence, and using their expertise to chase down the stolen funds. Throughout the entire process, they kept me updated, answered my countless questions, and gave me the assurance that they were fighting for me every single day.
Then came the moment I’ll never forget: they successfully recovered my full $62,300. I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. What I thought was lost forever had been restored and with it, my sense of stability and trust.
But this testimony isn’t just about the money. Rapid Digital Recovery gave me back my confidence. They reminded me that there are still genuine professionals out there who truly care about helping people. They turned my pain into a victory, and I will never stop recommending them to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation I was in.
To the entire team at Rapid Digital Recovery, thank you for standing by me, thank you for your honesty, and most importantly, thank you for proving that recovery is possible. You didn’t just save my finances, you saved my peace of mind. Contact Info Below-

“In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service.

I lost $87,000 in a SIM swap attack. One moment my phone had service, the next it was dead. Within minutes, I was locked out of my email, my exchange accounts, and my entire crypto portfolio was emptied. The attacker had convinced my carrier to transfer my number, bypassed my two-factor authentication, and moved fast. I felt sick. Years of investing, gone in under an hour. That’s when I found TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY.
At first, I was hesitant—there are too many fake recovery “experts” out there. But Trojanhack was different. They were professional, clear, and moved fast. Within 48 hours, they had traced the stolen funds through multiple wallets, identified a key mistake the hacker made, and located the final destination—a KYC-verified account on a lesser-known exchange.
They worked directly with the exchange and law enforcement to freeze the account. In just under two weeks, every cent $87,000—was recovered. I don’t usually write testimonials, but Trojanhack earned this. They didn’t over promise. They delivered. If you’ve lost crypto to a hack or scam, don’t waste time rather get in touch with Trojanhack.
I got my money back because I called the right people and they can be contacted through their official E-mail address which is ( Trojanhack@qualityservice.com ) Give them a trial as they never disappoint.
