I like to move my laptop around and work from other spots in my house. How do I get my family to stop bothering me?

I need to do my work from home, but I also have to be available to watch the kids. So I've learned to do this, but it makes me feel really unproductive because no one will let me work in peace at home. My wife just thinks it's fun that I can do it from home, and the kids are so excited to have me home that they keep coming over to bother me and get bored after 10 minutes. <br><br>Sometimes I'll go into my bedroom and close the door and they'll then decide to go in and out of the closet constantly. I've tried explaining that I'm not just goofing off, I have to do this work. So I end up taking my laptop on the road some and working from the parking lots of parks and store parking lots and stuff. It's actually pretty nice to get outside and see the world a bit whenever I need a break.<br><br>But does anyone have any advice on how to get my family to not bother me?
