When Moshiach comes, we'll be living in an entirely different reality, so we can't really apply our attitudes from now to then. (Personally, I'd love a period tent, especially if DH has to do all childcare and work for me....)

Tent?

Hut...woman cave... apartment....anywhere stress free, where DH takes care of the kids and I get to chill......

(actually, I have this. It's called my OFFICE! which is where I am right now. I am not actually working, mostly cuz I'm procrastinating. I do have my period. And my kids are still all at school. Ah, bliss..... Maybe I should install a bed in here somewhere.)

That's true, however when the Yidden were in the midbar things were slightly different. Because neither a niddah or a baal keri is allowed in machneh levi, the Leviyim must have had tents in other places for niddos, new mothers, and indeed intimacy.

True, though lots of things were unusual about the midbar. Whatever we go back to doing will be more like Bayit Sheini, presumably.
