Working from home doesn't have to be that way. Sorry for jumping on your comment, but I hear this sort of thing so often! Long term work from home (as opposed to waiting in for a plumber) only really works if you have a space to do it, and buy in from people you live with. If you can, have a specific room which you go to for work, and make sure your partner knows that when you're in that room you aren't available for little favours - although one of the nice things about home working is that you can surface now and again and do those things. If you can't make those two things happen, commute to the office, or find a co-working space.
