No reason not to look imo. It never hurts to see what’s out there even if you decide to stay put. A more engaging job may give you more motivation as you try and balance work and children. The moms I know who were bored/didn’t like their jobs ended up hating them even more once they had kids- the line of thinking was « I’m leaving my kid at daycare for this? »
