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...

My Daughter who is 16years old, has suffered from Vitiligo. She developed this condition at the tender age of 3 years and ever since we have been looking out for treatment that will cure her skin ailment.We tried all the available medicines in Sri Lanka and went from one doctor to another and could not find complete relief from any of the treatments that we sought. We tried western medicines, Homeopathy medicine and finally as if it was a stroke of luck we heard about Dr. Irene herbal, an herbalist doctor from West Africa, Nigeria. who has got dramatic results in treating Vitiligo. Thus, we decided to show our daughter to him. It was a long journey from Colombo to Africa and after consulting the doctor and seeing the pictures of before and after treatment success we felt convinced that he can cure our daughter. So we started treatment and within 3 months we saw unbelievable results from his treatment. Although it was a bit difficult to follow the treatment regimen, at the end of the day we felt that it was fully worth it.Today, I am happy to say that my daughter has got more than 80% re-pigmentation and I am sure if it is not for the breaks of treatment she has to undergo due to various reasons she would have been cured completely by now.I have witnessed many patients who come to Dr. Irene Herbal clinic get very good results and I wish him all the very best in his endeavor to bring relief to the thousands of vitiligo patients. Dr Irene emailed him drireneherbalcure@gmail.com or visit his website: http://www.drireneherbalhomeblog.wordpress.com
GREAT THANKS TO DR TRUE LOVE SPELL CASTER FOR HELPING ME WHEN I NEEDED HELP.
I am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my fiance that i love so much. Am from Chicago and my name is Avery Lindsey, I had a fairy tale kinda love story and everyone around me call me the lucky one for having such a sweet love life but even the best love story can still go sour, before things went south I tried my best to make things work with everything that I can think of but thing still keeps going south. breakup is a bitch and dealing with life was difficult and everyone see you like an object of pity. I desperately had to do something and that was when i was introduced to this spiritual home, I was told once that if you need it bad enough you will go for it. i came across many spell casters but they promised and nothing came up but an African friend who was my neighbor introduced me to Dr TRUE LOVE and i emailed him with his email : Truelovespellcaster1@gmail.com and he replied me so kindly and help me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for 4 months. At first his instructions sounded barbaric but I followed them and inexplicable results happened within 72hrs, Am so happy and all thanks to Dr TRUE LOVE SPELL CASTER for helping me with his white love powers.
