? 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!

After all of the insults you have slung at me and RLGL, please don't ever again come to this board and claim you don't understand when you've been insulting to me.
Hmm...first you have to show me where I stated specifically

Your quote just shows RLGL never said what M2PF is claiming.
Yes. We. Did.
You seemed to know a lot of specifics about him until now!
Regardless, a rate of return of 4.4% before taxes is nothing great.
