Working from home is ideal if you have kids. I have two young kids of my own, and kids grow really fast and somehow I feel that I am missing out something because I am working full time and my job is a bit demanding. I am well paid, but I sometimes ask if it's worth it?
It is true that most stay at home wives are wishing to go to work, and the working ones (like me) wonder how it would be to stay at home. C'est la vie. It is very seldom, (if not at all) that we wish for something we already have. Different people, different circumstances.
