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...

RETRIEVE LOST BITCOIN & OTHER CRYPTO ASSETS WITH MAESTRO ENCRYPTER FINANCIER
I think all of my nightmares came to life when I lost my hardware wallet with $450,000 worth of Bitcoin in it. The wallet was important because all of my life savings were in it. Then came the thought that I did not have it, and it’s just so overwhelming. Each box, drawer, or storage corner was scrutinized, walking steps over and over again with growing desperation. I looked and realized how grimmer my situation felt. I couldn’t fathom losing everything that I had worked hard for. It’s like an emotional roller coaster, really. Every moment searching felt like hours; anxiety grew bigger each passing day without a sign of my wallet. With every minute passing, my financial future was slipping away. The level of stress was insupportable. I needed a quick fix but didn’t know where to go. In a desperate search for help, finally my colleague mentioned Maestro Encrypter Financier.I was so desperate to do anything in that period. Then it sounded too good to be true—a recovery service for stolen hardware wallets. I was skeptical and reached out for at least a tiny thread of hope. Right from my very first interactions with Maestro Encrypter Financier, I’d felt his professionalism and empathy. It took them less than a while to understand the urgency of my situation and to convey to me that they would try everything in their power to help me. They explained the whole recovery process: steps, what is required from my side, and details. This clarity was very reassuring in such a stressful situation. The process in itself was rather cumbersome and required much patience. I had to provide them with a multitude of information; I followed their instructions to the letter. There were moments when the situation was really bleak. I thought I would never see the wallet again, but the Maestro Encrypter Financier team was never deterred. These professionals applied their knowledge to conduct investigations into sophisticated tracing techniques regarding my wallet, while still keeping me updated on the process. In fact, it was the good news about my wallet’s recovery that was coming after waiting for ages and being so much worried. The relief which crossed my heart couldn’t be described. The Email is maestroencrypter @ financier . com. It wasn’t just a matter of getting back my $450,000; more, it was to recover the feeling of being in control and peace of mind. Professionalism, knowledge, and tenacity organized by the professionals at the head of Maestro Encrypter Financier far went over what I had expected. A time of despair became a success story. Their WhatsApp number is +14722038937. I can highly recommend Maestro Encrypter Financier to anyone who might find themselves in such a fix, second to none in knowledge and dedication to the client. They helped me avoid the financial disaster, and afterward I felt good again.
