My son is 6 and my boyfriend's daughter is 14. My son is more used to me working from home and does not bother me near as much. The teenager bothers me for silly things. I listen when I need to but requests of "I'm hungry" or "fix the TV" when dad is around do not cut it. I try to let her know if it can wait let it or if dad can do it ask him. For my son I listen and say that I will talk more about it later . This week was spring break with me starting a new account but all in all things went well.
