I disagree. I really like my work and I really like my family. The problem with commuting is that it introduces a gap of mediocre-to-awful time use in between those two things that I really like. Working fewer hours wouldn't solve that. I'd just be doing less of one of the things I like to do, replacing it with either a meh activity (if I can take public transport or there is no traffic on the drive) or a super frustrating activity of driving in traffic.
