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...

I found myself in a web of deception—a victim of heartless fraud perpetrated by a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment company. But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged, a beacon of light in the form of Wizard Web Recovery, whose miraculous intervention transformed a tale of loss into a story of redemption and renewal. It all began on a fateful January day when I ventured into the realm of cryptocurrency investment at the behest of a trusted friend. Armed with optimism and ambition, I entrusted $210,000 to a seemingly reputable crypto investment company, only to see my dreams dashed by the cruel hand of deception. What started as a promising venture soon descended into a nightmare of epic proportions, as my attempts to withdraw my hard-earned funds were met with a wall of silence and suspicion. With each passing day, the truth became painfully clear—I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam orchestrated by heartless fraudsters masquerading as legitimate investment professionals. Despite my best efforts to rectify the situation, including paying exorbitant “tax clarification” fees demanded by the company, my hopes dwindled as fast as my dwindling bank account. But just when all seemed lost, fate intervened in the form of a television program highlighting the exploits of WIZARD WEB RECOVERY— A licensed hacking firm renowned for its prowess in recovering lost funds for victims of cybercrime. Intrigued by their sterling reputation and glowing reviews, I resolved to enlist their aid in my hour of need. With bated breath and a prayer on my lips, I reached out to WIZARD WEB RECOVERY, laying bare the harrowing details of my ordeal and praying for a miracle. To my astonishment, they responded swiftly, extending a lifeline of hope in the form of a sincere commitment to reclaim what was rightfully mine. What followed can only be described as a whirlwind of emotion—a rollercoaster ride of anticipation, anxiety, and ultimately, elation. Within a mere eight hours, WIZARD WEB RECOVERY accomplished the impossible, restoring access to my lost investment funds and returning them to my wallet with a speed and efficiency that defied belief. As I beheld the restored bounty of my labors, tears of gratitude streamed down my cheeks, mingling with the joyous refrain of a heart made whole once more. A testament to the power of resilience, perseverance, and the unwavering commitment of those who refuse to stand idly by in the face of injustice. To WIZARD WEB RECOVERY, I extend my deepest gratitude for their unwavering dedication to justice. They have not only restored my faith in the digital landscape but have also reaffirmed my belief in the inherent goodness of humanity. In a world where darkness threatens to engulf us, they are beacons of light, guiding us toward a brighter, more secure future filled with love, trust, and possibility.
