I find that even with 12 kids, working from home is productive. The difference is that I can go do a bit of work between other tasks. If I have an hour to spare and need to walk to work, about 50% of the time would be walking. It just isn't worthwhile. At home, I can put the whole hour to use. Also at home, I know I'm there for emergencies, so my wife can go out to run errands.

Likely Mormon, they do that. Source: grew up across the street from a Mormon family. No value judgement, it's just the only pattern I see that matches.
Catholics? Hasidic Jews? They also have large families sometimes. It indicates a lot of love between the parents, in any case!
