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...

Ilekhojie played a crucial role in helping me reconcile with my ex-husband through a powerful reconciliation ritual. After months of distance and miscommunication, I was unsure how to bridge the gap. Ilekhojie introduced me to a spiritual healing ritual designed to clear negative energy and reopen channels of understanding. With their guidance, I approached my ex-husband with a sense of calm and clarity I hadn’t felt in years. The ritual created a safe space for both of us to express our feelings without judgment. It helped us release past wounds and focus on healing. The process brought us closer and restored the trust we had lost. Thanks to Ilekhojie’s insight and the ritual, we were able to communicate more openly and rekindle our relationship in a more peaceful, loving way. I’m forever grateful for their wisdom and the healing they facilitated. You can ask him for help. Call/text +2348147400259 or Email: gethelp05@gmail.com
Personal growth is important for achieving success in life. All these words were shared with me by Meduza, who performed a spell reading for me and created a lottery spell that turned me into a lottery champion of $112 million here in Arizona. Within 48 hours of adhering to all of Meduza’s divine instructions, he granted me the chance to use the divine lottery numbers to enter the lottery after I bought my ticket in Tempe. A week later, I was informed that I had become the fortunate Jackpot winner of the game and this was all made possible by Meduza.. I want to kindly express my gratitude to him for his impactful words and actions. For a transformative opportunity in your life, contact Meduza via his
