Working at home certainly isn't for everyone. It can take a while to establish a routine and ignore the household chores to work. Having children at home trying to go to school would be, obviously, an enormous distraction.
On the other hand, no commute is a big plus. At one time I was commuting a hour to an hour-and-a-half each way to work. That was, at a minimum, an extra twenty hours a week of work. Not to mention the cost, stress, etc. of that much driving.
I knew a gentleman who would get up, clean up, get dressed for work, walk out his house and around the block, then come back in and "go to work."
Good luck to all,
