＞ Taking your kids with you to work allows you to not make a second trip every morning and every evening to go to their daycare (which is never exactly on the way) it's good for morale, it's GREAT for work/life balance, it's good for the environment, and the kids spend more time with their parents. Caveat: only if you absolutely need to go to work in the first place, or you couldn't remote for critical reasons (granted, someone being unremediably miserable at home would be one) Otherwise dealing with kids is one of the primary factor in choosing remote work, and it's life changing. A local, close to your home daycare means you have options on who brings the kids and who takes them. It's a few minutes away, so yes you get more time with your kids, it fits into a standard work break, you're there quick enough when puke hits the fan, you get access to your local doctors and hospitals who have your kids' records, etc. All of these "perks" persist if you change job, your kids go to school, etc.
