I felt the same way when my cousin quit to stay home (after a few weeks back on the job). You've got plenty of working mom compadres -- we just can't do playdates or drinks (except virtually ... but that would be weird).

Something about kid #2 put them over the edge. I always felt abandoned when that happened, and a tad jealous. When I left that company recently for a better job, the comment my boss made was "so, you're going to stay home?". Clueless. My reality is that I have no choice in the matter as primary breadwinner so I can't think about it. My husband is around, working from home a lot and there for the kids which eases the guilt. I have many friends in the same boat - many with 3-4 kids and big big jobs earning most of the $$ with lots of travel. I thank God every day for this sisterhood. Even if they don't work with me, they're there for me always. Hang in there. Someone else will come along! In my old job, every working mom quit after the 2nd kid.

I just started telecommuting half days, though, which I LOVE. It's tough to not have another mom to bond with at the office!
