The fact that I don’t have to look for a caregiver for my baby, I get to work and take care of her at home, and working for an organization that is miles away from where I live without having to relocate.
That is a benefit, and also a potential drawback, at least in the future. I often wonder how kids are affected when they see their parents working from home, rarely completely relaxing. I know for my daughter, when she is ill and one of us is home with her but still working, she gets frustrated.
I understand your concerns. I have a 3 year old son who constantly needs my attention, especially with his academics. Unfortunately I do not always have the time to assist him so I send him away when he “distracts” me from work. WFH definitely gives you little room for a work-life balance, somehow, one has to suffer.
