I understand, lots of my friends couldn't wait to get back to work after their little ones were born. A year of maternity leave and They claimed they were overworked at home were losing their sanity......so going back to work was like a vacation for them :) I on the other hand thought about them all day and couldn't wait till my shift ended so I could rush back home to be with them. It all depends on the parent and I do understand both sides of it.
Just appreciating that I have both options here, where in Canada I didn't .
