Kids interrupt meetings. When both parents are working from home, one can take care of the kids during the other parent's meetings. In practice, sometimes that just leads to an argument of which meeting was more important. My wife and I have different schedules. The baby still sleeps with us. I go to my living room and plug in my laptop. A few hours later, my wife gets up and gives the baby his morning bottle. She goes to work, sometimes at the office just to get away from the baby I'm quite sure. She sometimes stays there for peace and quiet. Some days I will leave our home to go my office an hour away for the same reason.
