Yes.

- Small children don't really understand "mummy's working, talk to me instead." Interruptions are death to productivity. Children can't interrupt you if you're not present.

- Most daycares are closed or at reduced capacity.

- Nanny services are harder to find and come with risks.

- Time at the office is time resting from the kids, and time at home is resting from the office. If it's all one place, there is no rest.

My wife and I are finding it easier to alternate childcare instead of try to do everything at once, and being out of the home during the work time gives rest and focus.
