The kids all get in trouble when I try to spend more than 5 minutes doing anything :-).

Especially talking on the phone, right? Even now (19 yo), the minute I get on the phone, she suddenly requires my undivided attention. I can only imagine what it must be like in your house!

It's a disaster! Even if I go outside, they follow me, or hang around banging on the windows making IMMINENT DISASTER! gestures.
