What's more, for the vast majority of people I've worked with, the vast majority of time, home does actually stay at home. The crying child, the gas leak, etc.

What's more, for the vast majority of people I've worked with, the vast majority of time, home does actually stay at home. The crying child, the gas leak, etc. are exceptional situations, and they either don't take up a huge amount of time, or the employee uses PTO to deal with them (because, you know, that's part of what PTO is for).
