Same here. I think the work-life balance that remote work provides is understated in our society. I get to be far more involved in my kids day-to-day, I know their teachers, friends, and generally what's happening in their lives. I think of the alternative (what I grew up with, and what a lot of my friends with kids are still doing) and it's sad. Barring the awful circumstances of the article (my heart goes out to the author) spending time with our children shouldn't be a chore to fit in. Hug them, tell them how much they mean to you, that's important. Being present in their lives though, for the brief period that life affords us, that is essential.
