So true, Catherine. I never realized how easy work was until I was home with my toddlers. Good God, that was exhausting. And it's not just being on 14 hours a day--there are the nights where you are up with croup, the visits to the ER, the constant vigilance. Work was much easier for me, and a hell of a lot more fun. And I adored my kids, and did not put them in day care. Who knows, maybe that would have been better for all of us.
