No, All-Remote Work Is Not a Mother’s Dream Come True

Here’s a sentiment many working mothers now doing double-time at home don’t want to say out loud: we hate this. Not because we are stuck in a pandemic but because we need our own lives. Many of us keep our sanity because we have the opportunity to be away from our children and create professional achievements independent of our domestic lives.

The author is conflating child care and work from home. While it might be the case that the pandemic has made children omnipresent in many homes thanks to remote schooling and the closing of childcare opportunities, this is clearly not the same thing at all as "working from home". I speak as a parent who has "worked from home" for more than 10 years.
