I don't have a high flying executive career but working from home gives me the flexibilty to be their when my children get up, take them to school and pick them up afterwards. It gives me the chance to go to their school plays and to their sports days and have their friends round after school. I wouldn't trade this for the world.
What working from home doesnt give me is that face to face contact you get in a environment working directly with people although I have to say my firm is brilliant with skype and our own work forum as well as get togethers to get to know each other! sometimes I do miss real people though and I am conscious that with only one year left at primary school I'll soon lose the interactions at the school gate too however I am pretty happy in my own company to be honest!
It gets me wondering, how do other homeworkers combat this? does it bother them or are they happy in their own company?
