? 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!

But those haven't been the facts in today's debate.
Depends on the housing market.
<That was uncalled for.
Is someone saying differently?
No, that term is not entirely the domain (excuse the pun!) of foreclosures.
But it is about the money when it comes down to it.
Renting is the same to me as leasing a car. It is a no-win situation because everytime you rent another home or lease another car, you need to find the money to start up again. If you own a home, you will have that home as a downpayment on the next place you decide to move to either buying a new home or putting down money for a rental.
Hi all, I have been reading this debate all morning, and trust me it has taken me all morning to read it lol, and I am trying to understand.
