I have decided to switch from Biglaw (litigation) to SAHM. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it is best for me and my family.
For anyone who has made a similar transition, what advice do you wish you received beforehand? Any ways that you’ve found it helpful to structure your time and use your brain? Anything that surprised you or that you wish you’d known at the outset?
I am nervous about the change of pace, lack of intellectual stimulation, and lack of adult interaction. Also this will be the first time since I was 14 that I haven’t worked at least one job. I am looking forward to a bit more predictability, more control over my time and life generally, and lots more time with my aging parents and young kids. For context, my kids are 2, 4, and 6.
