If you SAH with LO1 and went back to work before LO2, how did that work out for you? Did you struggle with your decision? How did LO1 handle the transition to school/daycare/nanny and also a sibling at the same time/in a short span of time? Do you feel like the subsequent LO got shorted? Did WOH help you to transition from 1 to 2 (2 to 3, etc.) or hinder you?
Just curious!

For anyone who is wondering why I am asking this, I am TTC but also in a master's program with a full-time internship component. Right now my LO 1 is in daycare two days a week (I also work part time). But I'm struggling with how much time to take off from this program if hoped-for LO happens and I am doing my internship when hoped-for LO is an infant. I'm fortunate that I can make this decision I know!

@Mrs. Sketchbook: I am somewhat in this position as I returned to WOH last spring - LO was 1 - and we will maybe be trying to TTC next year. So our gap is pretty large and so LO will be in daycare for likely 2 years before I become a SAHM again so kinda one less transition. Probably not thant helpful I know!
