I am often eager to get back to work because any time off is just working a different job, that is often more stressful. My family is as or more demanding than my job is, and, when we are away from home, doubly so. My wife gets easily stressed out, my four-year-old is an excellent reasons to get stressed out, and my nine-year-old… is actually pretty great. I would love to have a vacation with just her and me. Or better yet, just me.
But by the time I’m going back to work, I am desperate to go back to work.

I wonder how often this is the case for those that choose to go into the office vs WFH
