How did we get to a point where we consider this opinion to be normal? It is expected someone else to care for your children while you commute hours each day and work 8+ hours at an office? When you get home you still need to spend whatever free minutes you have with your children, cook, put them to bed, wash, clean, find some time to share with your spouse, then repeat daily?
How about we normalize working from home, and spending time with your children and spouse? Is it so bad to have your child do their homework on the desk next to you so you can explain and answer their questions? Play around in the room while you work, so you can actually interact with them, instead of being away for the major part of their conscious life?
Also, is it so bad to go load and start the washing machine while you wait for your build to finish? Maybe load the dishwasher? What do you do at the office at the same time? Go to the kitchen to prepare yourself an unhealthy amount of coffee so you can grind your busywork with more focus?
