To wonder if people who like WFH all live in big houses

As per title really.
3 of us who could work at home and DD studying for A Levels.

We have a 4 bedroom house so should be ample for our needs, but the (modern, small) rooms simply weren't designed to accommodate so many separate work spaces as well as space to eat, sleep, relax etc. We're all now choosing to work/study more and more out of the house because of being on top of each other at home.

I really don't know why so many people rave about wfh. I can only assume they must have big houses and therefore don't have to put in place timeshare arrangements for use of the dining table.

3 bed semi. Not big at all. Husband works on the dining room table. I have a desk in one of the kids room as there was nowhere else to fit it.

Only a problem during school holidays, but my work is quiet then so we work around it.

Just to add we love working from home. Husband no longer has to commute by train, saving time and money.

School runs are easier and I spend less on after school clubs. As my kids are 10 and 12, we don’t need holiday clubs - they can entertain themselves while we work.

I find the office distracting when I do go in. No longer used to the noise!
