It's 9:15am. I just spent 10 minutes helping my 5-month-old daughter fall asleep for her first nap of the day. Now I'm sitting with my wife and eating breakfast.

At 9:30, I'll walk 20 feet to my office and start work for the day.

At noon, I'll take an hour with my wife and daughter, cook together, eat together, and get back to work at a little before 1.

At 5:30pm, my work day will end, and I'll cook my family a healthy dinner. It takes a longer, more effort, than ordering in or doing something cheap and easy but I have the time and it's worth it.

The focus of my life is my family, not my job. That is what work from home means to me. Any company that demands I change that focus isn't one I'm willing to work for.

Yes. We have to work, but it doesn't have to be so disconnected from the greater portion of life.
