Damned if I do and damned if I dont!

I have been thinking about going back to work for some time now, so when I actually went for a job interview I was stunned by the way people reacted when I mentioned I would put LS childcare while I was at work? I thought had literally said "I would leave her at home alone".

They made me feel like such a bad person..no a bad mum for even suggesting I leave my 2year old with trained professionals for a few hours a day while I work.Now I feel awful about even thinking about working.

And you know what makes it worse? The fact that when people know that I'm a stay at home mum they judge me again, thinking as I'm young I must be a lazy women who sits at home watching Jeremy Kyle all day!!!

I know I shouldn't let other people opinions bother me but when I feel like my parenting is being questioned I feel so awful, I'm a good mum, I have my sisters to thanks for that but now I feel like I'm just going to be judged more for actually wanting to provide for my daughter!

What I really want to know if what do you think?

Have you ever been made to feel like this?

Thanks
