I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree completely.
I've been working from home for 11 years. I have 2 kids, 7 and 10. I sometimes think it would be nice to go to an office, see my coworkers more often, have regular ping-pong breaks (like my last job). The one thing that makes my truly glad that I work from home is that I get to be there to see my kids grow up. I walk them to and from school; I'm there for all significant events. I am not always available to help with homework, and they can be a distraction sometimes, but no more than other office workers can, in my experience. I don't know, maybe I'm lucky to really like my kids, but the extra distraction and stress that comes with being closely involved in my kids' lives is all worth while for me.
