I recall the pressure I used to feel every time I paid for childcare in order to write, when the relationship between time and productivity can be so unclear. Having children often provides the perfect chance to re-evaluate what we want to to with our lives - and if you have that chance to explore your creative interests, without the pressure to make an immediate income - just drop the guilt and go for it! It's a wonderful opportunity. And the benefits for your family will far outweigh the costs.

I am probably guilty of being a little too so, but hey. I am what I am!<br />My husband is the sole earner for us right now... so I can be at home with the baby, so I don't have to go back to retail- a job I hate, and I guess also so I can have a go at making my creative business an actual business. I am covered in guilt and gratitude and the only way I can think to "earn" this "luxury" is to be the best mother, and wife, that I can, and to do my best to make a go of my "craft".
