Working at home is it the answer to balancing work and family?

Please tell us what you think about working at home. First things first is it possible - does your employer encourage it or is it frowned upon? If you do work at home is it the solution you were hoping for or does it just mean you work even longer hours? Staff that completed the family friendly audits for us in our first year of the Mumsnet Family Friendly programme were by and large really keen to be able to work more flexibly including at home but often reported that the equipment they were given by employers made it tricky. We thought we'd open the discussion up to find out what everyone thinks :)

Obviously not a perfect solution - we heard from staff in the family friendly surveys that it could be hard to stay in the loop if you worked flexibly. Other interesting thing I heard today from a manager working in America was that they found that when their staff worked at home full time there was an increase in depression because staff were becoming isolated. Bit extreme but an interesting perspective.
