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...

  • BTC AND USDT RECOVERY SERVICE: WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE

    I am an individual investor who started trading cryptocurrencies about three years ago, drawn by the potential for high returns and the burgeoning popularity of digital assets. My trading journey was largely positive until I encountered a seemingly reputable investment platform I found on Instagram, which was endorsed by several high-profile celebrities. This platform promised substantial profits and seemed legitimate, so I decided to invest a significant portion of my savings, totaling $206,000.The problems began shortly after my investment grew in value on the platform. When the time came to withdraw my accumulated profits, my requests were unexpectedly denied without any reasonable explanation. Repeated attempts to contact the platform’s customer support resulted in no feedback; it was at this moment I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. To make matters worse, I soon discovered that not only my investment account was compromised, but I was also locked out of my associated email accounts and crypto wallets, which were altered by unauthorized access to further prevent me from reclaiming any control or communication. In my desperate search for a solution, I came across an internet post praising the services of a recovery expert known as WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR. Deciding to reach out to them was a pivotal decision. The review I saw mentioned how they excelled in handling cases of online fraud and had a record of recovering lost funds from scams. They were extremely responsive and professional, diving into the complexities of my case with a strategic approach. The recovery process involved detailed investigations and negotiations, which WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR navigated expertly. Although the situation initially seemed hopeless, their persistent efforts brought a significant breakthrough. Eventually, they managed to recover $180,000 of my lost funds. While this was not the full amount I had invested, it was a substantial recovery that mitigated the financial blow significantly. Despite the incomplete recovery, I am immensely grateful for the work of WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR. Their dedication and expertise in retrieving lost funds from scams proved invaluable. I learned a harsh lesson about the importance of thorough due diligence before investing in any platform, regardless of its apparent credibility or celebrity endorsements. I now approach each investment opportunity with heightened caution and have improved the security measures for my trading activities to prevent future compromises. Contact info:

  • Good day everyone. I want to quickly use this medium to give my greatest testimony on how I won the lottery. This is something I wanted to talk about before now, since 2015 but I was told not to do so. But today I decided to tell the world.
    First my name is Marie Holmes, I’m from coastal North Carolina, a single mother trying to meet ends to support my children with a string of five retail jobs. which makes life so difficult for me. On one faithful day, I met a man called Albert. He saw my status and said he will help me. He asked if I have interest in the lottery? I responded “yes” so he told me about how Dr Marcus made him become who he is today. He gave me Dr Marcus email address and said I should follow his procedure, before he left. When I got home I sent a message to the email address he gave me, and I explained to him my situation. I never got a response from him, after three weeks he responded to my message. He told me what I needed to know and what to do, Which I did. 48 hours later I received his message in the morning. He sent me some numbers and said I should go play Powerball. That I have found favor, I play and I won myself $188 million. The unknown man I came across with changed my life for good all thanks to Dr Marcus as well. Today I decided to share because everybody deserves a chance to become successful in life! Reach Dr Marcus via his email and he will be there for you as well drmacusspellcaster@gmail.com
