Would you ?

If I didn't wfh in my current gig, I would have to leave the house at ~ 8am, and not be home until 6:30.

Even that sounds like a luxury. I do 7:30 to 19:30-20:00 inclusive of 1.45 commute each way.

If I didn't wfh in my current gig, I would have to leave the house at ~ 8am, and not be home until 6:30. As it is, I can drop the kids off at school, work 9-5:30, have an hour in comfort at lunch, and get an extra hour of family time before I would be home normally.

Of course you'll see the kids more as you'll be at home rather than sitting in your car!

+1 (although in every other gig where I've not been WFH, it's been a case of leave the house at 6am Monday morning and come home 7pm Friday night).

I drop my kids off in the morning, and pick them up most afternoons. I'm available for school meetings when they occur. I get to spend lunch with my wife watching TV. I can finish at a reasonable time and then cook tea if I want to. If there is an emergency, I can be there immediately to help.

These all make a difference. Plus, by working from home, I get a lie-in a bit more rather than having to avoid traffic. Also, last week when I got soaked through on the morning school run, I came home and spent the day in my onesie rather than having to get dressed again

Did you read the original post!?

It said WFH 1 day a week. In the grand scheme of things when you're WFH that day, you wont get the full 9 - 10 hours seeing the kids. You'll get 1 maybe 2 extra hours for that one day.

Did you read the original post!?

It said WFH, nothing about 1 day a week:

WFH I do now but not allowed in this other job

Would you leave for extra money but lose WFH ?
