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...

BITCOIN RECOVERY IS VERY MUCH REAL, AM A LIVING TESTIMONY!!!! 2024
I’m one of those few people who invested in the cryptocurrency market and was hoping to make enough profits after my retirement. Unfortunately, I had invested in a platform that was out to steal from me, I lost around $275,000 to this platform excluding the promised profits. I had lost every penny I invested into it including the money I had to borrow from friends. I thought it was all over until I came across a Cryptocurrency recovery expert, ETHICSREFINANCE SERVICE, who helped me recover my money from these fake investors. It took ETHICSREFINANCE 48 hours to recover my money and I was able to track down these people. I’m truly grateful for their service and I highly recommend them to anyone with the same problem.

There are no legitimate trading platforms left, I promise. My spouse and I had dinner at my parents’ house, where my brother and dad were talking about stocks. I was curious to find out how this whole thing worked since he said it was very lucrative and high profits involved. He then connected me to the same trading website that he was using. I was so excited when I got off to a good start by growing my account with the smallest plan in my first investment. Later, my wife suggested that we increase our investments so as to increase our earnings since we had been receiving our profits from the platform for more than a month without any issues. Although at first, I didn’t think it was a problem, so we upgraded our account to the platinum plan with $208,000. Before you can opt to reinvest or receive your earnings back, the trade typically takes two weeks to mature. After the allocated time frame passed, we attempted to withdraw our profits as usual, but this time our request was denied. Thinking that the system might be down for some reason, we contacted company support to file a complaint, but they insisted on charging an additional legal fee which was never mentioned anywhere before granting us access to our account. We ultimately paid an additional fee of $42,000, but our money was still withheld. This helped me realize that things were already headed in the wrong direction and that it would be best to seek assistance elsewhere. Fortunately, I found a hacker on Reddit, Software Specialist who explained the entire process to me along with how long it would take once I gave them the information they needed. In the end, he was able to retrieve every transaction we completed on the fraudulent platform. My brother wasn’t as fortunate, so I had to connect him with the hacker whose details are as below:

WhatsApp No: +1 (646) 509-9630 to help him with his own withdrawal issue. Am not glad that this happened but then my family learned a valuable lesson from this error.
It is hard losing money. It can, to put it mildly, always lead to hopelessness and suffering, which is exactly what happened to me. Everything appeared genuine until I discovered, after putting $194,000 in cryptocurrencies in an online investment scam, that I had been scammed. I had been depressed for days until I saw an article about EXNER PRO HACKER, a hacking and digital asset recovery agency, and how they help victims of fraud regain their lost money. After some hesitation, I chose to give them a shot. Working with EXNER PRO HACKER, I was able to recover my stolen money back after a few procedures in a matter of hours. EXNER PRO HACKER is also available to assist any further victims of scams. Reach out to them now through their urgent line at Email: Exnerprohacker@gmail.com
I’m glad I found Redeemed Hacker Pro, an honest fund/crypto recovery company. Their team of professionals was able to retrieve my crypto that had been stolen from a forex trader who had deceived me by saying I would receive a 35% return on my investment. I was able to receive all of my cryptocurrency back after writing to this team about my situation in less than 24 hours. I was overjoyed because I had thought all hope had been lost after being duped. I highly recommend them with full confidence. File a complaint to this company to get your stolen cryptocurrency and other digital assets back. In addition, he can help you get back on more profitable trading platforms, recover forgotten or lost cryptocurrency wallet passwords, and protect you from extortionists.
