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...

I was a subject of a cryptocurrency heist. Some amount of bitcoin was stolen from my wallet and diverted to an unpermitted account. My wallet management was informed, however, they had me wait a week before responding through email. They didn’t offer any assistance; alternatively, they mentioned that my phone might have been compromised and told me to get in touch with the authorities who couldn’t provide any solution to recover my bitcoin. When I was browsing through the internet trying to find a solution to get my stolen bitcoin back, I discovered a team of bitcoin recovery experts called WIZARD BRIXTON GROUP OF HACKERS . I then decided to contact them for assistance in getting my stolen money back. I have nothing but praise for Wizard Brixton Group Hackers . because they were able to assist me in recovering the money that had been stolen. With the use of their sophisticated tools, Wizard Brixton Group was able to determine how the transaction was carried out. I have my money back and I am very thankful to Wizard Brixton Group  for their amazing service. If you have any issues related to mine. Kindly contact them via email.Wizardbrixton@gmail.com https://t.me/wizardbrixtonhackersrecovery

I am Jackie from New Jersey. When the ‘Ghost Traders’ inboxed me on the potentiality of tenfold returns, i caved in. If you have sen the numerous ads running on the same traders, you will definitely be interested to invest, but in this case, I think it was a ploy of the same account by fraudsters. My investment totally came to $400,000 over time in the promise of helping me in trading Bitcoin.  Soon afterwards, the whole website went missing, no traces. And my money with it. Was a pretty low moment for me. Fast forward to finding TheexnerhackerATprotonmailDOTcom. and I shared my nightmare with them. I had given them 12 hours to comlete the necessary but beat me to it, recovering all my money in 6 hours. A quick tip to share as I was personally advised is, if your hacker takes too long to get back your funds/crypto after you have provided all the requirements, seek help somewhere alse. thank you THE EXNER HACKER for the solid.
