This isn't quite a parenting advice question per say but I wasn't sure where else to ask.I love art and my fiance really wants me to pursue an art career from home. When I admitted to him, and myself, that pursuing an art career would make me happy he was super down with it. Then I got pregnant unexpectedly so now I'm also a happy mother to a 16 month old. I have so much trouble staying focused on art though. I get caught up with taking care of her or taking moments to relax that I only seem to draw for 30-60min. We've also decided to start trying for another baby. I'm just really not sure how to make time for art. Especially when we have another child. I also need to practice to be able to get anywhere. I stopped for so long because of severe depression and shame from even wanting to pursue art. While my depression is under control now it's still hard to not feel negative emotions associated with my art despite my love for it. So it can also be a bit extra exhausting mentally.I'm just not sure how to even begin to figure out time or a schedule. I know it'll be easier when our children are older but I feel so much pressure to figure everything out now. It would be so wonderful to have some extra spending money for our daughter and future child. And it would be even more wonderful to make that money by doing something I love while also taking care of my children. But I really just don't know how to begin. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3orX7ul
