I was talking about little/small children, not children in general. I believe the point is true for children in general as well (during vacation / lockdown specifically), but toddlers and babies require a lot of attention and maintenance. Are you responsible for your children? If not, then with regards to work(load) its akin to having no children at all. You say its arguably false, yet ~90% in my team have children (I'm one of the few with toddlers). And the one who doesn't have children split up recently (due to relationship stress, which now lead to more stress, the irony..). Everyone in my team's productivity suffers since they have to work from home. And on top of that, there's another data point: mothers. They get structurally paid less than men and other women.
