I've been working remotely for 10 years. Don't have anything that looks remotely like a traditional family. But I have a nomadic extended family of friends and lovers who meet my social and intimacy needs far better than anything I was getting way back when I used to work in a cube. It would be interesting to see some research about the effect of remote work not just on families in a traditional sense, but also how it impacts societal organization and the concept of a "family" at all. Industrial society was pretty organized around the concept of a nuclear family, but that's not always been the norm in human societies, and from my perspective it looks like new societal norms are emerging.
