I work at home since July, have 3 boys aged 4, 6, and 8. We homeschool. I have an office in my basement that's about the most isolated place in the house. They come see me a few times each day but for the most part it's not a problem at all, which is a lot less of a problem than I thought it was going to be. Maybe it's easier because we have multiple and they keep each other busy, I dunno. Unrelated bonus - I've gone from filling up my car about once a week to about once a month, have lost 10 pounds, and went from ~$60 for lunch per week to basically $10 or so. edit: it's a globally distributed team, so no matter what time there's folks working on something. This means that what used to be my old "coffee and HN time" in the morning before going to the office has become "go ahead and get stuff done" time. I go running mid-day. The whole schedule just gets a lot more flexible in a pretty nice way.
