Help! Feeling guilty that I love being back at work.

I love my job- it gives me purpose and provides me with much needed mental stimulation and validation. I love my daughter but staying at home for 16 weeks was rough. I have my wonderful MIL to provide childcare now and I WFH 3 days a week. When I go to office, other people just assume I’m having a hard time being away. But I’m not. In fact, I think I forgot about my daughter for 2 hours at work today. As soon as I realised I did, I felt awful. I don’t even think I missed her in the 8 hours I was away. Maybe I would feel different if I had sent her to daycare?

I read all the posts about moms hating being away from their LOs and I feel like there is something wrong with me. All I feel is alive and truly myself at work. I suppose I just want to feel like I’m not a terrible mom and I’m not alone?
