Career Change or SAHM?

Question

So, I'm 22 weeks pregnant with my second baby due in December and i really don't like my job anymore. I work full time with adults with substance abuse and mental health to help them find jobs. I've been doing this for 3 years. Lately, I've been contemplating what to do as my next career move, or if I should look into maybe being a stay at home mom. I'm not sure as to whether I should just go back to work even though I don't like it or if I should be a stay at home mom for a while and then try to transition into a new career. Any suggestions??

Answer

Being a sahm isn't easy either. My son will be 10 weeks and I've been home since he was born although I love it and not ready to go to school full time and be away from him. Its nice I'll actually be interacting with people and not be by myself 24/7 with a baby. Cause my bf works a lot so I don't see him much it just gets super lonely. But it's just a lot to think about. It works for some people and not others.

Answer

Honestly, I think you should let your heart lead. A career, especially in the field of mental health should be filled with passion and love. If you're lacking that, you definitely should move on from the career. As far as being a SAHM, if you know being at home will not be fulfilling after a certain period, definitely make the transition after your pregnancy. Maybe take these next week's to really research and self-reflecr on what you want to do. Either way, stay healthy in all aspects of life. Congrats on your little one & good luck!
