[quote=Anonymous]It was a big jump for me, but absolutely, incredibly the right choice for me and for our family. I was only a SAHM by circumstances/accident (think military spouse), it was not my ideal. I went back into the workforce when my child was 1 year old. It is a high-intensity job (as in, you can't do it on autopilot, requires a lot of engagement) but not long hours or high stress, most of the time. I am SO happy I went back, I'm a much more balanced person now. And bonus that we now have much more income. The biggest transition was just all the daycare logistics...sooo many colds and quarantines. My DH thankfully took the bulk of sick days the first year or so, so I could avoid being absent. I would say, start coming up with contingency plans if your kid gets sick, childcare falls through, school closes, etc. Make some good babysitter connections and mom friends if you don't already have those, so you can cover unexpected issues.[/quote]
