Mum Guilt and is painting a job?!

Mum Guilt and is painting a job?!

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...

Hello everyone, I’m going to share my story of how I got myself out of a financial crisis. I met someone on Instagram who told me how I could make huge profits from investing in cryptocurrency, I fell for his scam and started investing to the point where I invested my entire savings and took a loan after he thoroughly brainwashed me into investing more to gain financial freedom. To cut the story short, I had invested $74,000 in bitcoins into this scam, I was depressed to the point of taking my life when I came across an article about a hacker Liam Pryce wizard home recovery, who was able to recover money lost through a cryptocurrency scam for several other people, I hurriedly contacted them, I don’t know how it was possible but Liam Pryce wizard home recovery was able to recover all my money in the space of 48 hours.

As a devoted mother from the United States, I have always prioritized my family’s well-being, which includes caring for my own children and several orphans. In our household, every penny counts, and financial stability is paramount. However, my world was turned upside down when I fell victim to a scam that cost me $500,123. The scammer, masquerading as a blockchain recruiter, lured me in with enticing promises of a “high-paying crypto position.” They exerted undue pressure on me to send USDC as a “verification deposit,” and in my desperation to secure a better future for my family, I placed my trust in them. Unfortunately, I discovered the heartbreaking truth far too late.GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE emerged as my beacon of hope.

Although $150,000 had already been liquidated, their relentless efforts culminated in the successful recovery of 100% of the remaining $350,123 .
