Exactly! It’s very, very difficult to focus for extended periods of time when your kid gets up and tries to walk away from their class every 10 minutes. Or wants a snack, to talk or play, because you now encompass the entirety of their social life.

Yeah I find this frustrating as well. Many people conflating WFH and WFH during a pandemic.
Yeah, this is one of the things that keeps coming up in this discussion that bugs me. There's working from home, and then there's working from home during a global pandemic that has shut down large swathes of the economy.
I wish everyone writing these articles or trying to analyze wfh performance data would acknowledge that "not being in the office" isn't the high-impact change: "having to take care of children while doing my full time job" is.
If we brought everybody working from home back into the office, but also had them bring their kids along and try to help them through zoom class and make their lunches and stuff, it would be chaos.
