It’s a totally different story with 2 or more children.
Your toddler won’t be quite as accommodating to the schedule of a newborn. Having two parents at home makes it much easier to manage a newborn, erratic sleep schedules, and other children.
That kinda depends on your working hours, which pretty everyone who doesn't encounter the problem seems to forget.
Two or three days a week I'm alone with my daughter for most of the afternoon and evening. My wife works retail and isn't home until right around our daughters bedtime.
If I worked in retail, you could easily end in a situation where I'd be home during the first opening hours of the daycare, but not be home for 4 hours in the afternoon and evening where daycare isn't available.
