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...

You don’t realize how much trust you place in technology until it fails you or until someone exploits it. I learned this the hard way when my crypto wallet, containing over $87,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum, was drained in an instant. A clever scam disguised as an official update cost me everything I had worked so hard to save.
At first, I believed what everyone said: “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.” The blockchain doesn’t forgive mistakes, and recovery felt like a fantasy. But desperation pushed me to keep looking, and that’s when I found DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. From the start, they were different: no false promises, no hype, just a practical and transparent approach. They explained how stolen funds could be traced, even through the complexity of blockchain transactions.
What followed was nothing short of incredible. Their team worked tirelessly, tracking the stolen assets step by step, wallet by wallet. They coordinated with exchanges, flagged suspicious accounts, and kept me updated at every turn. It felt like they were as invested in getting back my funds as I was.
Weeks later, I got the email I thought I’d never see: “We’ve recovered your funds.” Seeing my wallet balance restored felt like a second chance at everything I thought I’d lost. It wasn’t just about the money it was about reclaiming my future and finding hope again.
DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES didn’t just recover my cryptocurrency; they gave me the ability to move forward without the weight of that loss holding me back. If you’ve lost crypto and feel like there’s no hope, don’t give up. There are people who know how to fight for you. I’m living proof that even in the world of crypto, recovery is possible with the right team.

This is my testimony on how I finally joined the new world order, Illuminati after I have been trying to join for over 2 years now but scammers took money from me several times. I have been searching to join the Illuminati for so long, but scammers keep taking my money until early this year when I meet with Lord Felix Morgan online I contacted him and I explained everything to him and he recommended the registration used and I paid for the big member to get me started and I was initiated into the World Order online and I receive the sum of $1,000,000 us dollars in to my bank account instantly after my online initiation ritual and also I will be earning $33,000 us dollars monthly, I’m very happy! And promise to spread the good work of Lord Morgan. If you are interested in joining the new world order Illuminati today, contact Lord Morgan today instead of accepting scammers to take your money all in the name of helping you join, Contact Lord Morgan: WhatsApp +2348025699656🔺🔺🔺
