Working from home is definitely the best way to go.
I have three kids, with two of them in school and one still at home. I have a home office were I work 99% of the time. Sure, I get interrupted quite often, but that just gets factored in, so working 8am - 6pm is a 8 hour regular day. Remember, no commute, long lunches, etc.
This enables me to spend a lot of time with the kids. I see them off to school in the morning and help with homework in the afternoon.
Since I am at home, my wife is able to have a part time job as well, which makes her feel better.
Better for me, better for her, better for the kids.
I agree. I am currently implementing an open-source ecommerce app that does this guy is looking for. (Built on Struts/JBoss/PostgreSQL, Resellers manage accounts, Account holders manage users & licenses, SOAP connection to main server for license/account CRUD functionality, online credit card processing and emails sent everywhere when something changes.) The downside is 2 months design and 4 months to implement. Something off the shelf would cost less and you wouldn't need software developers on staff.
