Parents didn't have this experience either. We were busier than ever. My wife and I each did half a day of parenting and schooling and half a day of work during the day, then dinner, more parenting and cleaning, then another 5 hour shift of our jobs, then about 5 hours of sleep before repeating the next day. We were exhausted and not relaxing and enjoying our creative sides.

And this was still a far easier time than many people had, because we had jobs and they were flexible enough to be done this way.

Also people we knew died and there was a constant worry about who would be next. Not a fun time.
