Oh yes, I didn't mean to imply kids = less housework. It is definitely the opposite--they have much more work that could always be done. What I meant was that parents get two things from the in-office life by default: 1. A forced schedule, because you have to bring kids to school, cook dinner, deal with homework etc etc. I think this helps you prioritize at work a bit better, because the time limitation is very clear. 2. A heavy baseline social life, because your family is around frequently This isn't to say that their lives are easier (again, I think it's the opposite), but I think it helps explain some of differences in preferences right now for remote vs. in office.
