Do you ever feel like you do too much and want a week off

Have just posted a thread about wishing someone else wouold do the tea for a change.

I have dp here and i still get shattered and fed up. Mind you perhaps thats because he does NON of the housework, childcare or anything else .

I would love a week off, but then knowing me i'd probably get bored.

FF DON'T GIVE UP COLLEGE
I would love a week off too (nominally I have a 'd'p)
I used to work part time b4 kids and paint without any distractions - you NEVER have the 100% focus you feel you should (studio too cold, worried about this and that) don't forget you are painting as a human not as a machine! keep on keeping on
Sorry, frustrated artist here.
The home stuff is the real drain ...have you got a friend anyone who can give you even an hour just to yourself?

Same here nutcracker!
And we both went for the handsome layabout on Wife Swap! at least he improved given strict instruction!

Wild i wont give up college promise! I love it when i get in, it's wonderful. I have had such a lovely day today going and you cant help but be motivated and inspired as soon as you arrive in the studio. I couldn't get things down quick enough, i even broke the hair dryer spped drying my sketch book. Luckily enough on the way home i met my brother and he wondered if i would mind if he took my kids out for dinner. Did he have to ask twice, i think not.
Perhaps you should set yourself a target, one sketch before sunday.
