I tried to do freelance development from home after our first child was born and my wife went back to work after her 3 months off. Even with a non-mobile baby there was no way to be productive. Young children need attention. You can't just put them down on a blanket and expect them to be happy. And once they start walking, forgettaboutit. I would think that any employee saying that they can give a full workday working from home and watching young children at the time is not being truthful. Sure, when they're older and don't need to be watched constantly, but if I turn my back for more than a minute I'll find our 1 year old playing with an electrical outlet or trying to eat something he shouldn't.
