It's also more problematic right now because of the lack of childcare/school. If that resumes, then the child distraction problem goes away (but leaves other issues like: lack of social interaction, sub-par home office situation, etc). Personally, even though my commute sucks, there is something to be said for having 8+ hours around adults. I've also noticed I am less eager to interact with my 4-year-old now because she's always around, always needs something, always loud (even with the office door closed), and I feel guilty that she's not getting the attention she needs. Schools re-opening would totally change this.
