A detailed analysis by a bloke who has experience of being an expert on the telly: Breaking Down the Father on BBC Being Interrupted by His Children

[mudskipper]

From my facebook feed:

Person 1: I don't agree with the way one child was literally dragged on the floor by his arm. A simple pick up would have been acceptable.

Person 2: All measures acceptable in the circumstances

Person 3: Pick up followed by wwf style body slam? :P

Person 1: No amount of 'live' television is more important than child abuse.

Person 3: If this is child abuse I think most parents in Europe probably need locking up.

Person 4: My tubes just tied themselves.


Editor note - the child "dragged by the arm" was a 'her' not a 'him'.

Mother was on phone or making them a meal.

And didn't want to burn the dog?

How does the second kid in the walker get such a head start on the mother/nanny?

Mother was on phone or making them a meal.

She looks in/around and sees kiddies are behaving.

She goes away/turns back, suddenly realises there is a strange silence and sees kiddies scooting down hall entering father's study.

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.

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!

Door opens,

Dad: What is it?!

Kinder: Nothing.

Dad: @£$@£

Similar experiences.

I make sure any conferences calls due combines with mum and kinder visiting the supermarket or other outdoor pursuits.

The New Age in which we live is creepy

The CIA takes creepy to a whole new level.

[scooterscot]

That'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
