I tust turned a year working remotely and have a 3.5 year old and an 18 month old. I knew from the get go it would be impossible to work from home and rented an office space as close as possible to home. Less than a 5 minute drive, or a beautiful 10-15 minute bike ride along a river. I get to be home throughout the day as much as I want to be, I can be home in a moment's notice. But more importantly I can concentrate or take a phone call without the crashes, cries, and screams. I couldn't get ANYTHING done from home if I tried. Maybe when they're older/in school. Until then it's $800/mo well spent. I wouldn't trade my current situation for an office job, it's the best setup I've ever had and the whole family is a lot happier since I switched to this- but it would be a different ballgame if I was home like you. I couldn't do it, I'd go crazy.
