The Absurdity of the Return-to-Office Movement::The return-to-office demands make little sense from an overall economic perspective, while working parents, in particular, benefit from not having to waste time commuting to an office, writes Peter Bergen.

Yes, I can attest that WFH was a hell of a lot easier when I didn’t have kids. It was 100 times harder with them around. Unfortunately while I carved out a space in my house for WFH, it didn’t prevent my kids from interfering with work tasks lol. It may be a little different now that they are both in school for the day.

That's an education issue. The kids need to learn that mom/dad is working and to avoid disturbing them. I've WFH for almost 10 years now, and I've had homeschooled kids at home the whole time. Yes, they had to learn to leave me alone at first, but it only took a few months.
