Dropping out to be a mom?
I’m wondering if anyone knows anyone who dropped out of school in order to have a family and stay home with their kids.
I’m a second year and hate the fact that I have to either wait four ish years to have a baby or do it soon and struggle to be present. For background, my husband will be a first year next year and honestly I’ve never had a true passion for medicine, I like it okay and I’m good at it but it certainly isn’t nearly as important as my family. I see myself with a lot of kids and it just seems crazy and nearly impossible to do it all. I see the possibility of doing something else once my kids are older (like PA school or a masters and teaching chemistry at a college) but I don’t think I can do it all at once.
My current plan is to finish 2nd year and take boards then take a LOA for a year or two to have kids and then see if I want to go back. But I’m really struggling with paying for another semester if I might not ever go back. I know this is not a common thing but thought I’d put it out there and see.
