Whatever happens, the message is that it's not as important as what happens on the conference call.

I think you misunderstand. There is obviously another caregiver looking after them. I can't have a 24 hour open door policy with my kids while I'm working from home, just the same as anyone who works in an office.

Then it is perfectly reasonable to have a closed door for calls. However, even in that case, I would not mind an interruption or two during the call. Any more though, I'd start questioning the role of the caregiver.

I completely understand. Still, we outsource our kids care to be able to care about a conf call.

I'm not saying is the right or wrong thing to do, I'm just saying the message is clear.

They're with their caregiver. If you're looking after kids yourself you're not working from home.
