Now that I’m pregnant, should I work on my writing, start my dog walking business or be a stay at home mom?
I have always been “undecided” as far as my career goes … I’ve had great jobs, but never finished college or had a traditional “career” path. I’ve been a massage therapist, HR Manager, and now I want to start a dog walking business … and all along, I’ve always written — blogging and a novel I’ve worked on for 2 years. Thing is, I’m 11 weeks pregnant now, and that changes everything … I no longer have the luxury I once had — of being “wishy washy”. Should I pursue my writing for real this time, and/or start a business that would be quite rewarding for me (dog walking). I’m so confused, now that I’m pregnant, and I don’t want to start another thing I can’t finish … OR, should I just be a stay at home mom?
P.S. Money is not an issue — I could be a “stay at home mom” if I wanted, but I have always felt that JUST doing this would be a failure … I feel I HAVE to be able to support myself.
To respond to “WI MOM” … I’m actually pretty offended by your answer. It’s rude to assume that just because I”m confused (as this is my very first and extremely unexpected pregnancy at that), that I would make a bad mother. I’ve actually embraced and acknowledged the idea of staying home, which is why I’m asking for opinions, and I realize the work it entails, so to say that I should put my child up for adoption and you feel sorry for my child JUST because I’m thinking of myself as an individual also, is kind of immature. I think your answer is quite rude and not very deep. Just because I’m thinking about what I want to do with my life (with a child), it doesn’t make me a bad person.
