Thanks Beth for bringing this subject up. I feel so much better after reading all the posts. I always struggle to divide my time between my two young children, husband, cooking, cleaning up etc. The kids are 1 and 4, so they pretty much take up all my time. The only time I get to paint is in the middle of the night! There have been times I thought of giving up painting because I feel like I am neglecting my family, and I don't have enough energy to have everything together in the way that I would like them to be. My husband supports and helps me in every way so that I can paint, but it is still difficult when the kids are still young.
I can see now that I am not alone, after reading these posts!
