whilst i didnt go back to work full time (p/t 2 days p/w) i like you used to cry in the mornings when leaving her. I would be sitting at work thinking 'i have a little person at home, and im not at home being with her, im at work creating spreadsheets !!'. I left. DH now does 2 jobs. We manage . 5 years out of my working life to stay at home to bring up my girls is worth giving up a $60k a year job........
