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...

To all of my friends, family, and others, I heartily suggest Wizard Larry Recovery. My credit score went from as low as 410 to 795, and they did an amazing job of removing all negative information. I recommended them to a friend of mine, and they also assisted her in accessing her unfaithful husband’s social media and phone accounts. They also specialise in recovering lost cryptocurrency assets, which is crucial to know. There are none better than them. Please feel free to reach them at

I remember the day clearly it felt like a punch to the gut. I had just discovered that I had fallen victim to an elaborate crypto scam. The website was polished, the investment opportunity sounded solid, and the customer service seemed legit. But within 48 hours of transferring my 3 Bitcoin worth over $180,000 at the time, the site vanished. The wallet address went cold. No response. Nothing. Panic set in. I felt helpless. That money wasn’t just an investment it was part of my savings, earmarked for a home down payment. I had done everything right or so I thought. But crypto is a wild frontier, and I had just learned that the hard way, I tried contacting my bank and even reported the scam to the local authorities, but they couldn’t do much. They didn’t have the tools, nor the expertise to trace blockchain transactions. The response was always the same Sorry, there’s nothing we can do, That’s when I stumbled upon “Dexdert Net Pro”. At first, I was skeptical. It’s hard not to be after getting scammed but something about their platform felt different. They didn’t promise miracles or fast refunds. They explained the recovery process step-by-step, laying out how crypto forensics, wallet tracing, and legal coordination could increase the chances of retrieval. More importantly, they didn’t ask for upfront payment, just a small success-based fee. I submitted all the evidence: transaction IDs, email chains, screenshots, and a detailed timeline. Their cyber-forensic team traced my Bitcoin through several mixer addresses and obfuscation layers. the trail led them to a known laundering hub a platform that had been flagged for suspicious activity by other victims too, With that data, Dexdert Net Pro initiated a coordinated takedown involving legal notices, exchange subpoenas, and blockchain monitoring tools, then one morning, I got the message: We have successfully Recovery your Bitcoin, It felt surreal. Within 1 hour, My 3 BTC was returned to a cold wallet Dexdert set up for me. Fully secured. Verified. Authenticated, I couldn’t believe my funds were back. Not only had I been saved from financial ruin, but I had regained trust in justice within the decentralized world. They restored my peace of mind. And for that, I’ll always be grateful.

I want to share my experience in hopes of helping others who may find themselves in a similar situation. Recently, I was tricked into investing over $455,000 with a company that initially seemed legitimate. However, when I attempted to withdraw my funds, they asked me to invest even more money instead. I was understandably hesitant and firmly requested my money back. Unfortunately, they continued to provide excuses and eventually stopped responding to my emails altogether. It was a frustrating and disheartening experience, leaving me feeling lost and anxious about my financial future. After confiding in a friend about my situation, she recommended WIZARD GEORGE CYBER SERVICE. I decided to reach out to them, I was impressed by their quick response. They took the time to understand my case and assured me that they could help. WIZARD GEORGE CYBER SERVICE handled my case with remarkable professionalism and efficiency. Their team was supportive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I am thrilled to share that I successfully recovered my funds! I cannot express how relieved and grateful I am for their assistance. If you or someone you know is facing a similar issue, I highly recommend reaching out to WIZARD GEORGE CYBER SERVICE. Their expertise and dedication can truly make a difference in recovering lost investments.
