  I don't feel like it gets better. However, DD loves going to daycare and loves getting that social time so I can tell myself that this is way harder on me than her.

  Hasn't gotten better for me either although agree with pp it's way harder on me than on DS ( that may change when he's of school age tho well see). I say give it a solid yr to see how it plays out and maybe then you can look for something part time or that's more flexible . Think of it this way- you are helping to give her things you couldn't before and this is all for her . Good luck I know it's hard

  I think you're going back at a difficult age -- I would have had a much harder time leaving DD at 17 months. But it did get better for me. I went back when DD was 12 weeks and it took me a solid 6 months to really get in the groove. Keep your head up and try to focus on the positives. You are giving her what she needs, taking care of your family, setting a good example. There's a thread on the great parts of being a working mom -- take a look. I had a "why I work" list at my desk that I would look at when I got discouraged. Good luck and welcome!

  
  This is EXACTLY me as well.

  I think once I changed my mind set and stopped feeling sorry for myself that I was working is when I saw a huge change in my attitude.

  Seriously- go look at the benefits of being a WM thread.

  Welcome!
