? for working moms

My son is six months old, and I have been back to work full time for four weeks.
I became upset over the weekend when two people (who are very close to me) made comments such as: "it seems like it would be so much easier to drop your kids off at daycare and work full time than to stay home", and even worse, "it's clearly easier to work and have someone else raise your kids than stay home". Both were stated by mothers who have never been in the position of working full-time with children. I disagree thoroughly with both comments (my life is certainly NOT easier now that I'm back to work!)
So... without stiring up the hornet's nest that is the "mommy war"... I am curious, how can I respond to statements like this? Should I respond, or just let it go? How long does it take to get over hearing hurtful things like this?
Any thoughts are appreciated!

I suppose if you choose to look at it that way.

"You're" referred only to PNJ.
Yes. We. Did.
So how much equity are you building now? I believe I have a 6 figure paper loss on my home this year. I'm not sweating it, because I have no intentions of buying up.
Selling during the boom market and renting for awhile puts Ducky and family in a great position to buy now, which I believe they plan on doing.
It would be tragic, wouldn't it?
