The best and worst thing about working from home is that I'm close to my kids

Brendan Cosgrove is trying to establish boundaries between work and personal life, but it's challenging because he works from home.

• I used to have a one-hour commute to and from work. Now, I measure my commute in seconds.
• I work from home with two young children. Their presence is both a blessing and a nuisance.
• I sometimes miss my long commute, where I could have some guilt-free time for myself.

My kids, 2 and 4, are a lot less sneaky than they think they are.
