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 met and fell in love with a handsome man on an online dating site, but I was duped. I chose to look into him since he persisted in demanding money and other things, even though I couldn’t see him. I was able to access his phone and all of his personal information from my home country because I contacted Redeemed Hacker-Pro, a hacking and digital asset recovery agency, to do a phone/system hack on his phone. Thanks to Redeemed Hacker Pro, I discovered after the hack that the handsome man I had met online was not who he claimed to be. You can also contact this agency through their hotline in any situation involving hacking and the recovery of lost money or cryptocurrency.

Yes, it is possible to retrieve your stolen bitcoins. I never believed in Bitcoin recovery because I was made to understand that it is not possible. But sometime in February I fell for a binary options scam that promised a higher return and I lost close to $75,000. I read an article on (Reddit) regarding a recovery expert and genius so I reached out to ALLEGIANT PRO HACKER, and to my surprise I got all my bitcoins recovered Within 24 hours without any upfront payment. I don’t know if I’m allowed to share the links here but you can contact them if you are finding it very difficult to withdraw your funds or recover your lost/scammed cryptocurrency.

If you’re a victim of Bitcoin scam or you’re trying to recover your lost coin from a wallet, do not hesitate to email [COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE@GMAIL.COM] Obviously Rick doesn’t know I’m putting this out here just my way of showing appreciation because I feel so indebted to him for the tremendous job he did and to let people know there’s a good guy out there. It all started in March when I sold my Town house in British Columbia to buy a new home in Toronto then I invested part of the proceed with a broker, I never knew I was being cat fished. I was scammed a whooping sum of $36,000 and It became more frustrating when I lost an additional $12,000 to online imposters who claim to help. I almost gave up on my quest for recovering my stolen money before I read an article on New Times Square about Rick’s progressive success on cryptocurrency scam recovery then I said to myself this will be my last try, yes it was and it was a success. All thanks to COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Contact him now if you want to feel this level of happiness and confidence again.
