As for my experience
1. I am working all 7 days in week
2. Day time have to attend family matters mostly, so working in the night mostly
3. No official leaves, but can take a leave when ever I want
4. Managing the things quite difficult, specially during the initial days. (No time table)
5. People around you will get start to believe that you are free always, and can attend to their needs anytime
6. Job stress has nothing to do with works from home or full time office employee, it's totally depend on how do you looking at it.
7. No need to worry about traffic jams which isa big plus

Just sharing my experience, may be totally different from some one else.

Thanks for sharing your experience Deshan, I think working from home has its own pros and cons.
