Remote work saved my sanity

Been working from home for 2 years now and I can't imagine going back to the office. I get to have lunch with my kids, I can be there when they need me, and I'm not spending 2 hours a day commuting. Sure my home office is basically a lego storage facility now but it's worth it. My boss asked about coming back 3 days a week and I almost had a panic attack. Anyone else's company trying to force everyone back?

This is the dream. Being home for lunch with my kids on my 12-1 break has changed everything. I'm actually present instead of commuting 90 minutes a day. Don't think I could go back either.

The flexibility alone is worth it. I can take my kids to doctor's appointments without burning vacation days. It's the small stuff that adds up to actually being present.

Same here with the sanity part. I can actually be there for the after school stuff and help with homework. Office would mean missing so much. Remote work is underrated as a parenting hack.
