I have two small children. Working from home made it possible to spend more time with them.
Some time ago the company that I work for started doing all kinds of socializing - both online and offline (in a month or two). For the first time in my life I wrote my boss and told him that I will not participate in any of this as it is outside of work hours. I don't have the time for some online game at 1900 hours. I have to spend time with my kids. Also I really don't want to socialise outside of work. Talking to me co-workers during a coffee break is more than enough.
