Similar experiences.Originally posted by Platypus View PostThat's hilarious!
I don't do video calls, but while on conference calls, I've certainly been interrupted by loud calls of "DAD !!"
Or the doorbell ringing for a delivery, after which the courier seems to think that almost bashing the door in with repeated loud knocking is needed.
I've heard people in similar situations. Participants who go for a loud gushing pee without going on mute are quite amusing but do cause collective embarassment

You need a bolt on your study door that is high up so the kiddies can't lock themselves in. Then by the time they can reach the bolt you remove it as they will understand not to come in.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostSimilar experiences.

You'll also find a need for an airlock or double door mechanism to keep our the noise when they can't get in. They just hammer on until it opens!Originally posted by SueEllen View PostYou need a bolt on your study door that is high up so the kiddies can't lock themselves in.

Door opens,
Dad: What is it?!
Kinder: Nothing.
