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.

Same. 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.

Agreed. 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.

This 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.
