Remote Workers: What are some common problems faced by you?

Mostly my wife expecting me to take an active roll in taking care of the kids during my scheduled work hours. She does a good job of keeping the kids occupied much of the day, but there seems to be a lot more little emergencies that she needs input on than when I worked in an office.

I'm not sure what the solution is, and I'm not convinced it's really a problem since I still get more done than when I was in the office (shorter distractions compared to coworkers always asking easily answered questions). It's definitely something interesting difference though.

My wife, kids, and I discussed it. If I am working from home, I'm not home. It was a work in progress for a while, where I nicely said I'm not home right now. Esp. hard when my "office" was in the living room. We all got it to work and later, we got a bigger home and a dedicated office space. That helps.
