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 never imagined I’d fall victim to a scam. I always thought I was cautious. But one mistake just one moment of trust in the wrong place cost me $133,000. It started with what seemed like a legitimate investment opportunity I found online. The website looked professional, the customer service was prompt, and the profits seemed slow but steady. I didn’t dump everything in at once. I tested the waters. The first few withdrawals went smoothly, and that’s what got me hooked. Then came the rug pull. I tried to withdraw my money, and suddenly everything changed. My account was frozen, support went silent, and the website eventually disappeared altogether. I was devastated. That was years of savings college funds, medical bills, rent money. I was too ashamed to tell my family. I couldn’t sleep. I blamed myself for being so stupid. The weight of losing $133,000 was suffocating. I tried everything filed reports with my bank, spoke to the police, and even reported it to financial watchdogs. Everyone was sympathetic, but nobody could actually do anything. It felt hopeless until someone mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. After everything, I had zero trust in anyone. But I was desperate, and I had nothing left to lose. From the first call, the team at Malice Cyber Recovery was professional, understanding, and brutally honest. They didn’t promise miracles they promised effort. And they delivered. They tracked down the digital footprints, coordinated with international crypto exchanges, and used some kind of dark web forensics I still don’t understand. Within six weeks, I got the email I’d been praying for: We’ve recovered your funds. When the money hit my account, I broke down crying. All $133,000 every single dollar was back. I didn’t just recover my finances I recovered my peace, my dignity, and my future. I know what it’s like to feel helpless. If you’re reading this and you’ve lost money online, don’t give up. Malice Cyber Recovery gave me a second chance, and they might just do the same for you.

God bless Capital Crypto Recover Services for the marvelous work you did in my life, I have learned the hard way that even the most sensible investors can fall victim to scams. When my USD was stolen, for anyone who has fallen victim to one of the bitcoin binary investment scams that are currently ongoing, I felt betrayal and upset. But then I was reading a post on site when I saw a testimony of Wendy Taylor online who recommended that Capital Crypto Recovery has helped her recover scammed funds within 24 hours. after reaching out to this cyber security firm that was able to help me recover my stolen digital assets and bitcoin. I’m genuinely blown away by their amazing service and professionalism. I never imagined I’d be able to get my money back until I complained to Capital Crypto Recovery Services about my difficulties and gave all of the necessary paperwork. I was astounded that it took them 12 hours to reclaim my stolen money back. Without a doubt, my USDT assets were successfully recovered from the scam platform, Thank you so much Sir, I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover for any of your bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity concerns.
