? 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 wonder if ducky gets tired of her house/apartment situation being debated?

All I know is how much the houses were and that she said all of her mortgages were the same.
Well that's great for you, really...I still don't understand

It's not a matter of could, it's a matter of won't.

Really? Have you read this entire thread? I have and you will see a few people using my name accusing me of being this other person. Now I am told I DID say something because they feel I was that person.
