Sometimes I think everyone travelling to an office was a good thing because it reinforced the idea that your home and work lives are separate and it’s healthy to draw a line between the two.
P.S. I’m a permanent homeworker, I like it. I like the fact I don’t have to commute. But man, loads of people I work with seem to conflate work with childcare and I dunno if that’s right for anyone involved.

Or maybe our continued focus on excluding our families from the way we spend the majority of our day is toxic in a way that we can’t even see because we’re so deep in it

Sitting at your desk trying to write code whilst a toddler is screaming for your attention nearby ?
I’m honestly not sure what you’re getting at, but this isn’t the middle ages where the kids learn how to weave baskets by watching their mother do it and that’s going to be their job too.

A society that shuns children is doomed. This western mindset of separating family and work is imo toxic.
