This post and the “parenting” post should join together.

Have a kid, then you’ll be happy you work remotely and won’t miss other people.

what? Hell no. I have kids and working remotely with kids around is impossible. Work / family needs to be separated for me, my mental health greatly depends on it.

Have a kid. They're older now, but working at the office was the only way I could get a solid 8 hours of uninterrupted work done. Plus meeting and talking to other adults about Not Kids is very nice.

Other than the large exception of taking care of small children and the timing of getting them from school, I have heard it is nice for people to have an outlet from home life.

Maybe you should have thought of that before having children? Some people aren't cut out to be parents, and that's OK.
