Anyone who usually WFH and now has a partner or kids with you at home?
How are you adjusting to having extra people around? My husband just started WFH today, and usually it's just me and my office dog all day every day at home. How do you balance conference calls, online meetings, and other things that require not a lot of noise and distractions with kids or partners now at home?

I work from home and my husband, who normally works in an office, is now working from home.
I have moved my office to the spare bedroom downstairs because it's quieter and he's using my home office.
That might seem weird for me to move but the spare room downstairs is isolated from the rest of the house and me moving downstairs prevents my husband from "just stopping by to chat" during working hours :)

barb_hansen, I love your reason for moving. I've stayed in the home office I work from daily but my husband has taken over the dining room table instead of using the second desk in the office. The space he is using is part of our home's living, dining room giant room so it has no doors and offers little privacy. I can, fortunately for me, closed both sets of doors to the office. (And our red heeler has resumed his role as my office dog, though occasionally he wanders into the dining room and looks at my husband like why are you here right now? :)
