This artist has a friend who may become an ex-friend following a heated childcare squabble.
There are some "fun" careers that people tend to dismiss as not being "real work." Even if your job seems fun to the people watching from the outside, that doesn't mean it lacks concentration, skill, and time management. This artist is dealing with that right now! Her friend seems to be under the impression that as an artist, the OP can just goof off and play with art supplies while watching the friend's three kids.
So basically, this so-called friend is asking the artist to take time out of her work day — there's no way to watch three kids while also creating a painting for a client. Kids are just too demanding, even when they're on their best behavior. The mom in this situation doesn't have much respect for the OP's job or free time, and she also doesn't seem to understand how much work childcare really is. Otherwise, she wouldn't be asking the favors she's demanding from the OP!
Scroll down to check out this long read, which is worth it for the satisfying conclusion. Next up, this vegan is disturbed by her neighbor's habits, but I doubt they'll be changing it anytime soon.
