* Not really. I'm glad I get to see my daughter grow up while working at home *

Have you tried working with home without a family? I'm getting good gigs but they are all remote. It's has been a rough time since I socialize really little.

Yep, my daughter is only 2 and my wife worked before she was born. So for 2 years I worked at home alone, though I have 2 dogs. It was weird being alone all day, but I got so much more accomplished. Getting out for lunch helped me a lot, and taking my dogs out. Even just a stroll around the block can help a ton.

Are there any co-working spaces near you?

Co-working is an absolute godsend for remote work. It's like an office, but better! You can pop-in and out without the pressure that your actual coworkers put on you to be visible during "office hours". Even if you only spend an hour or two a day at your co-working desk, being able to get out and interact with humans (on your terms) is an amazing thing.

No. There is no night life either.
