Working from home doesn't mean you don't have to send the kids off to daycare each day. Yes, it is expensive. But taking care of young kids is a full-time job.

Indeed. Working from an office without daycare would be similarly unproductive.

I just mean don't take the remote work idea too far. Raising children is affecting the ability to do any professional work and because of that people deciding to have children should receive various forms of support and protection by social institutions and employment laws. Pretending that you can take care of children while working from home is very harmful idea imho.

Nobody ever did that actually works.
