If you want and need to step back for a while you should. When your baby is older you can get back into it😊

It's a personal choice and it's not easy. Perhaps it's not fun but it could be just overload. On the other hand if time volunteering is cutting into time that you should be dedicating to your own kids then no, don't feel bad your children need their parent.

15 years volunteering without any kind of pay/ or reward that’s remarkably unbelievable

I know what you mean, but if you are not enjoying it its a sign you need to move on. Try something new

Not volunteering is not a reason for shame for the same reason that volunteering is a reason to feel good

Not at all. We all have to take care of ourselves first and we all get burned out. You have a family now and that is priority. No shame in having responsibilities. No one can do it all. At least not well.
