Remote work is saving my life as a dad

2w ago·1 min read

Switched to fully remote about a year ago and honestly it's made such a difference. I can be home for lunch with the kids, pick them up from school most days, and I'm not losing 2 hours a day to commuting. My job performance is actually better because I'm less stressed. The only downside is sometimes my kids think Im not working because Im home and they want to play during my meetings but I can't complain. If any of you are considering remote work I highly recommend it.

This is awesome to hear. Picking them up from school hits different when you're actually there. Props for making it happen.

That's huge, man. Being home for lunch sounds like a game changer. I'm still in the office most days but I'm jealous of what you've got going.

Remote work changed everything for us too. My kids actually know I'm around now instead of just seeing me at dinner. Glad it's working out for you.

This is what I'm pushing for at my job. The commute alone kills so much family time. How did you make the transition happen? Did your company push back?

Remote work is a game changer. I'm still hybrid but those days I'm home I actually get to see my kids instead of just hearing about their day. Can't put a price on that.

Same here man. Being home means I can actually be present for my kids instead of just clocking in and out. Game changer for our family.
