AIBU?
to be REALLY looking forward to going back to work tomorrow

.... I mean, I've been off on maternity leave for nine months now. DD2 is now eight months and doing fine, she'll be at a childminder for two days and then DP is looking after her for one. Will really miss her. But... I'm only working three days and I just LOVE job - hate being stuck at home.

I work 2 days and especially when I first went back and DS1 was a baby, I looked forward to it like the weekend.
Doesn't win you any friends if you mention it at work though .
So no YANBU.
Sounds like you have a great set up. She gets to know what it's like to be away from home, you enjoy work and will be a better mummy for the time away and she gets a whole day of daddy to herself!.
I hope he's got a list of chores for his day at home like you will have for yours

oh god, Char, I feel like this EVERY WEEKDAY, and I have been back at work for more than 3 months now. Once I have dropped dd off at school (aupair drops ds at nursery), I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I savour every minute of my freedom, even if it is a boring commute. The luxury of reading a paper on a train uninterrupted - bliss ...

YAB entirely reasonable. Unfortunately for me the stress of getting to wherever I am supposed to be without being disasterously late, and then back in time to pick DC up again tends to overwhelm the "phew", but still, everything is just so much easier and quicker on your own... Enjoy, and make sure you defend your 2 days at home to the death!
