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...

It’s not easy to talk about, but I want to share my experience to help others avoid the same trap. Last year, I was lured into a scam that cost me dearly. I invested 10.9850 euros in June 2021, hoping to secure my financial future. At first, the returns seemed promising, and my investment grew to an impressive 100,908.00 euros, including bonuses. However, when I needed to access my funds urgently to cover unexpected expenses, I hit a wall.
The scammers behind the scheme vanished into thin air, leaving me helpless and hopeless. They refused to release my money, and any attempt to reach them was met with silence or hostility. It was a harsh lesson, but I refused to give up. With the help of Asset Recover Net, a team specializing in recovering lost investments, I finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Their expertise in crypto and forex recovery proved invaluable, and they were able to retrieve my funds against all odds. I’m grateful beyond words for their dedication and professionalism.

i want to share to the whole world how Dr Kachi the Great of all the Spell Caster, that helped me reunite my marriage back, my Ex Husband broke up with me 3months ago, I have been trying to get him back ever since then, i was worried and so confused because i love him so much. I was really going too much depressed, he left me with my kids and just ignored me constantly. I have begged him for forgiveness through text messages for him to come back home and the kids crying and miss their dad but he wont reply, I wanted him back desperately. we were in a very good couple and yet he just ignores me and get on with his life just like that, so i was looking for help after reading a post of Dr Kachi on the internet when i saw a lady name SHARRON testified that Dr Kachi cast a Pure love spell to stop divorce. and i also met with other, it was about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 24 hours at the end of her testimony she dropped his email, I contacted Dr Kachi via email and explained my problem to Dr Kachi and he told me what went wrong with my husband and how it happen, that he will restored my marriage back, and to my greatest surprise my Ex husband came back to me, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and my children.

When I found Dr.Oniha I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contacted Dr.Oniha through his website and He told me what I need to do before he can help me and I did what he told me, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr.Oniha helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommend Dr. Oniha to anyone in need of relationship/marriage help.

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 or whatsapp +2348110492028.

what a wonderful world we are living in, i still doubt this spell caster how he did it!!! I am so happy to let the whole world know how this powerful spell caster saved my marriage.Everything was going down the drain as my husband can not stop cheating on me with other women. It became used to always heating on me. I tried to make him stop, but I couldn’t help the situation, the more I tried, the harder it became. At times we will fight and go apart for some months and we will come back again just because of our kids. One day a friend told me about this spell caster who helped her too, his name is Dr.oku, she said he uses white magic spells to solve spiritual problems. I decided to give it a try, I contacted him and he told me it will take just 2 to 3 days and I will see great changes in my husband. He actually cast a spell, believe me after 2 to 3 days of the spell, my husband was confessing different names of women he has slept with. He begged for forgiveness and never to try it again. From that day till now, my mind is at rest. My husband dislikes every other woman on earth except me. And am so happy to have him for myself alone.The spell caster’s contact is okutemple@gmail.com you can also contact him on whatsapp +2347053113465
