I definitely plan to return to work in the future, although I want to find a much lower stress job with better hours than the one I had before baby. I'm a CPA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-did-you-do-before-babies#post-41689 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 19:51:59 +0000 heffalump 41689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like a lot of sahm's aren't planning on returning to work. I have conflicting feelings about this because while I would love to put my focus on my family and home, I spent a lot of time and money getting my masters and would hate not to use it. I have a degree in art therapy and worked as a case manager and activities therapist for adults with mental illnesses. </p> <p>What did the rest of you sahm's do? Is it hard for you to make the decision not to return to work? </p>
