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...

  • Securing my financial future was a major priority after my recent divorce, so I delved into various investment options. A friend suggested Bitcoin mining and binary trading, and with ample time on my hands, I decided to give them a try. I was fortunate enough to accumulate a significant amount of Bitcoin, which, at its peak, was worth $1,200,000. I stored the decryption key for my Bitcoin wallet securely on my computer, feeling a sense of achievement and relief. As life went on, I became increasingly busy, and the once-urgent task of remembering the decryption key slipped my mind. Years passed, and the memory of my Bitcoin fortune faded into the background. It wasn’t until recently, when I stumbled upon my old wallet and saw the impressive balance, that the gravity of the situation hit me. I was thrilled to see my Bitcoin had appreciated significantly, but my excitement quickly turned to frustration when I realized I couldn’t recall the decryption key. Desperation led me to explore every possible avenue for recovery. I scoured my old files, searched through every backup I could find, and even reached out to friends and acquaintances who might offer advice. However, despite my best efforts, the key remained elusive. With time running out and the risk of losing my assets forever, I turned to the internet for help. I found various freelancers and hackers claiming to specialize in Bitcoin recovery, but my attempts to seek their assistance ended in disappointment and scams. These fraudulent services only added to my frustration and anxiety. Feeling defeated and running out of options, I came across F r a n c i s c o    H a c k. This team of professionals, with a track record of successful Bitcoin recoveries, seemed to offer a glimmer of hope. I contacted F r a n c i s c o    H a c k and was introduced to their specialized recovery tool. The tool was designed to scan my computer and mobile devices for any remnants of the decryption key. The process was thorough and took several hours, but I remained hopeful. To my immense relief, the tool successfully identified a list of potential keys. With renewed hope, I painstakingly tested each key from the list. After a tense period of trial and error, I finally found the one that worked. My heart raced as I regained access to my Bitcoin wallet. The sense of triumph and relief was overwhelming; I had reclaimed my financial assets thanks to the expertise and persistence of F r a n c i s c o    H a c k. This experience taught me the importance of securing critical information and the potential risks of relying on unverified sources for recovery. Thanks to the professional help I received, I was able to recover a substantial financial asset and ensure a more secure future.
