<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

My wife and I recently had our third kid and will need to move soon so that we can have more space.

We have the option of moving far enough away from my office that commuting would not be possible and so I would work from home. The downsides are we would also be away from my family and our friends, and I would be away from my office and coworkers which can make work a little more difficult.

The idea of being home all day with my family is very attractive to me. Even though I'd be working during the day, I would have the 2 hours I normally would have spent commuting each day plus my lunch break to spend with my kids. So an extra 3 hours each weekday.

My question is: how valuable do you think it is for me to be home and available to my kids for those extra few hours each day? By valuable, I guess I mean making a positive difference in their lives and their development.
  

Important details:

- either way, my wife will also be home with the kids all day

- the kids are all under 6 years old

Obviously no one can answer this for me, but I would like to hear your thoughts or related experiences.
<bot>: is it worth moving away from family and friends if it means Dad gets to work from home and spend more time with the kids?
