Anyone feel guilty for WANTING to work?

Am

I have 2 kids now, 2.5 and an 11 month old. I worked part time (24 hrs/week) for the last 2.5 years, but since having 2 these days alone at home with them have become less and less enjoyable. I also have 2 loud misbehaving dogs and I get very over-stimulated quickly. Most of my day is stopping my 2 year old from hurting the baby, saying “no” to 50 million stack requests, and washing 1 million bottles/sippy cups!

I’m going up to 32-35 hrs/week and now putting them into daycare full time. I never wanted them in daycare that much, but I think the structure will be best for them, my mental health, and our financial health. Just can’t kick the feeling that I failed at this ideal I had for the days I’d be home with my kids…
