Actually not my experience. My married friends complain more about WFH than otherwise. I think it depends on how many kids you have, and how big your house is.

- nostromo 6y agoSame. My coworkers who have young children at home seem pretty miserable. I have a coworker that I haven't seen for weeks now because of their new part-time job as a homeschool teacher. Childless couples and single people seem pretty happy with their new free time, even if they’d eventually like to return to the office.
- scarface74 6y agoThis is not what working from home is normally like for parents with kids. In normal times, you would still have the kids in school/daycare or have a real stay at home spouse.
- bart_spoon 6y agoAgreed. I personally have a setup where: - my spouse is stay at home, and therefore is supervising the kids while I work - I have a study/office at home that allows me to close the door if necessary - more of my daily time is spent programming than in meetings or interacting with people If any one of those things wasn't true, I too would probably be struggling more with the WFH situation. As it stands, its a massive improvement as I can still work effectively, the lack of commute means I have more time for seeing my family, and the flexibility of my daily schedule now allows me to do things like take a break to hang out or have lunch with my kids.
