Some families with little children might be struggling massively not because of WFH, but because many schools mandated remote learning which is difficult for young children to sit through without peer and teacher interaction. The more cynical amongst us would posit that elementary school mostly serves a dual "daycare" purpose alongside the educational mission.
If anything, WFH might be a struggle but would be triply so if parents hadn't been given the option at all. Let's not conflate the WFH privilege (which implicitly assumes such people still have jobs) with the difficulties of providing a workable remote learning solution for young children.
Of course that isn't the case for everybody: people with families and especially little children seem to be struggling massively.
But there is a noticeable shift it appears. Recruiters seem to be changing their model considering how many companies are becoming remote first. My mail is over-flooded with job offers from every corner of the earth, all of which contain the word "remote" in them. And I get round 20 of them each day. I would have never thought that such a day would come. The black swan strikes again.
