Is working from home affecting your home life?

Is working from home affecting your home life?

A few days ago, I asked my 10 year old son whether, if he was working and the lockdown was lifted, he would choose to go back to the office and work, or rather carry on working from home like his parents have been. I was quite surprised by his answer: he would opt to go back to work. I imagined that the response from a young boy who now has his parents around all the time would be the total opposite, ie. "No! Stay at home mom! It's such a jol - there's freedom and we play monopoly!" But the reasons behind his choice were interesting. He told me that he finds it very confusing with us working from home. He feels like he doesn't know when we're working and when we're available to play with him, and he sees how distracting it is for me that I can't be left alone for long periods without being interrupted.
