Both parents and extended family might be at work all day/night, unlike the pre-industrial era.
Come on, people were in lockdown and there were curfews, businesses were closed around 8 here. Parents were rearranging schedules and employers were giving paid time off for half days for home schooling etc.
People still have to work and eat and clean and shit. Its not like you wfh and magically have all this free time.
