A lot to unpack here.

I have children. I work from home. I don't look after them at the same time. This is true for every parent in my company who works from home.

> A company can't demand a remote worker pay for child care so the kid isn't at home like in an office.

A company can't demand an in office worker pay for childcare either. But if they don't have arrangements, they can't come to work.

You seem to be implying that every parent who works from home is only doing so in order to secretly mind their kids and not pay childcare which is a very unfair and unrealistic generalisation.
