I have an infant and a toddler, and a house small enough that I don't get a private office (I've cobbled together a DIY cubicle off to the side of a main living area). Suffice it to say it's hard to focus on intellectually demanding work when a 2-year-old is throwing a fit because her juice box ran empty. And I honestly don't mind my co-workers, we have a fair bit in common. It's nice to get some regular social exposure outside of kids + spouse, even if it is mostly surface-level.
