[quote=Anonymous]I'm in your boat at well.  I just started back at work at my boring, but not super demanding attorney job that pays me decent but not amazing. (low 6 figures).  I appreciate the flexibility and regular hours, but it is SO much harder being in a job I'm not crazy about when I have a baby in day care that I MUCH rather be with.  I don't have the option of not working right now, so I'm just sucking it up for the time being.

Also, you REALLY can't predict how things will go when you go back to work.  You could have the easiest baby in the world that sleeps through the night. . .  or not.

My son was sleeping through the night from 2-4 months, but at exactly 4 months his night sleeping completely fell apart.  He is 5 months now, and hasn't slept through the night in a month.  There are some nights where he wakes up 5 times in a night.  I am completely sleep deprived and barely getting by in my non-demanding job, I don't know what I would do if I had a super high pressure job where I HAD to perform at 100 percent all the time.
