Peace of mind
I also used to trade from home - problem was my wife thinks I'm available no matter how much discussion persuasion screaming on my part to prove otherwise. The distractions were bad enough but the bad vibes left me in foul moods that definitely hurt my decision making abilities.
Like Fx_sniper - I simply had to get out- solution - I've been renting a cheap office room all to myself for over a year now - ahhhhhh peace of mind.
My wife also considers herself a "night person" which means no early rising for her nor my 5 year old daughter so they can't make it to the bus and ALWAYS have to be driven to school. Could no longer stand having to get this duty. I just give her the keys, told her "If she can't get her act together in the morning then SHE has to drive my daughter to school" Now I can take the 5 minute walk to my office early in the AM (NY time) to catch the early afternoon European session and the NY open, completely undisturbed - I don't mind too much taking her telephone calls cause I'm somehow more objective when discussing things with her in this less personal manner.
Hope these ideas help someone else out there, good luck trading all!
