My boss offered it to me last week and I've been going back and forth. The commute kills an hour every day which I could spend with my kids. But I like the office vibe and separating work from home. Anyone made the jump to full remote? What did you miss about the office?
An hour a day back is nothing to scoff at. Plus you get to be more present for the kids. The office thing might be worth giving up if the work gets done.
That extra hour with your kids is huge. I love weekend projects with mine and I can't imagine what an extra hour most days would do for us. If your boss is offering it, sounds like they trust you to make it work.
I've been fully remote for two years now and honestly the extra time with my kids in the morning before school is worth way more than the gas savings. No commute means I can actually eat breakfast with them instead of rushing out.
An hour each way is massive. That's like 10 hours a week you could reclaim. The remote option might let you be more present during those early morning and evening hours with your family.

Go for it if your role allows it. Just make sure you have a dedicated workspace so you can actually separate work from home time. That's been key for me.
