    Been there, done that, it sucked.

    It was great at first! But after 6-months I was depressed. Guess I’m the sort that requires the structure a regular job provides. Kinda been the same for WFH. :(

      I like WFH but I hated being a house-husband. WFH gives me something to do more than cleaning and cooking and childcare.

        Play some games, contribute to opensource, read academic papers. There are a lot of work to do even if you are not employed.

          Believe it or not, cooking, cleaning and childcare full time doesn’t really leave you with much energy to play games, let alone contribute to open source or read academic papers.
