Yup. Couldn't agree more. I even had someone working for me that ran an eBay business from his desk. But I also made sure that he understood that was all fine when there wasn't a deadline or a crunch, but I didn't want to see him even THINK about it when there was. We got on just fine, and he never made me unhappy about it.
Rule #1: Start small, deal with issues in as quiet a way as possible so that they aren't
issues. There's always plenty of time later to pull out the bazooka if you need it, but don't start by ringing the doorbell with it.

OK,
pooh, I'm going to say this once, very quietly. (Remember the bazooka? Good. Keep that in the front of your mind. Now...)
Quit. Get a job that lets you telecommute at least 70%. You're in a business that makes that trivially easy. I can (and have) run the IT department for a software development company that's a 4 hour drive away from my office at home. The technology makes this easy-peasy. Heck, most of the time, no one can even tell whether I'm working from my home office, or in the company HQ.
Life is WAY too short, let's not go out of our way to make it shorter. Please.
