So excited for maternity leave so i have a really good excuse not to work

Ive been struggling with keeping the motivation to work fulltime for years, never truly feeling satisfied or fulfilled in any role. Typical millennial only lasting 2 years max in a role but many only 1 year. I have a couple more months before i start maternity leave and i cant wait. Ive been looking forward to this for years as i feel its my only escape. (I do also want children, im not only having kids to not work) I do work in mental health so the burnout is real but overall, i just want to not work.

I do work in mental health so the burnout is real but overall, i just want to not work. I want to do things i enjoy and focus on my non work life. I am constantly distracted when at work and want to do anything else, like read, hike, see friends, learn, cook new things, plan weekends away and activities.

I dont know if ill ever want to go back to work, at least not fulltime. Its sucks but i dont feel like i can as in society i will likely be seen as lazy especially given how hard my husband works all the time. But hes stressed and unhappy a lot of the time too. Work takes over his every waking thought and i dont think its anyway to live.
