I work remote from a quiet neighborhood with dedicated office. I’m still distracted half the time with other things and often get bored sitting in my office by myself. I wander around the house a lot — which is full right now with kids remote learning.

I’ve heard kids can make it difficult, but these are kids that have lived most of their lives with mom or dad working outside of home and they’re trained as such. If this becomes the norm, the crazy, loud and annoying child trope I seem to hear about a lot will greatly reduces as the children are raised with ‘work from from home in mind.

There’s really only so much you can do to train small children to be quiet. My oldest is almost 4 and she’s just now getting to the point where she’s able to be quiet on her own for extended lengths of time. My younger kid is 18 months and when she’s awake there’s basically nothing that can stop her squawking.
We are moving to a house next month with a separate office space on the other side of a 2 car garage from the main house. I am beyond excited.

We taught our toddler that being noisy wakes up his infant sibling from naps, and we tie some of his favorite activities to his sibling's nap time. He quickly figured out how to stay quiet and started scolding us when we made noise. It's not perfect, but pretty good. Straight out of Dale Carnegie, you might say.

My neighbors son is 3 year old
When I am repairing my car/bike, he comes with his bike (small plastic one) and gets under it and starts repairing act.
And he does it for long as I am repairing mine.
It's interesting that I don't live with him but he is copying my action but when I asked his mom if he helps with housework as he probably sees her doing a lot of housework, she said no.
I've no idea why getting under a bike is more appealing to him than doing stuff like cleaning with a mop and bucket.
Ask me to WFH in a shared room in a tiny SiValley apartment with construction, gardeners and the neighbors music blasting randomly and I will show you how to waste $250k per year.
