Working from home. Is this a desirable lifestyle?

My daughter works from home two days a week and goes into the office two days a week, so she gets the best of both. I think she prefers working from home as she has a lengthy commute. At least wfh means she can hang out a washing or take one in if rains

Mixed thought on this. My son in law works from home, office room, with visits into work twice a month. Used to it, but missed social interaction. Daughter really dislikes it on the odd time she's done it, prefers being at work, and worked in office, public service, all through covid. May save you money, but really does nothing for the economy.

DS works from home a couple of days a week and is in the office the rest of the time. When I had just had my hip replaced, he came down to look after me for a couple of weeks and was able to work from here, though he complained about my prehistoric broadband speed! DD, who doesn’t work from home, similarly moved in for the first week and was allowed to work from here during that time. She hates working from home.

My son very successfully WFH during the pandemic. He is now back in the office which means a long journey each end of the day. He now WFH when it suits his schedule eg if he had to go to a meeting somewhere else in the morning he doesn’t go into the office for half a day. He often WFH on a Friday and is very flexible with that time, especially if, like last week he was away on business for four days and nights.

When I was working, after a day in school I would go home and start again each evening, preparing lessons, marking etc. In the summer holidays I would probably spend a couple of weeks at home preparing work as well as a week in school. One or two people seemed to manage to avoid WFH but I don’t know how. It is the norm for teachers to need to do so.

Both my AC work from home . My son almost permanently and my daughter intermittently. They both have an office in their home - in fact my son and wife have separate offices - but their home is big enough to allow this.

I used to frequently work from home before retirement 20 years ago.

You certainly achieve much more at home and more efficiently because there are zero interruptions. That together with no time wasted travelling or in carbon footprint, is, to my mind the way forward.
