Do you kids have to be on you/with you/ near you ALL the time??

Ahhhh yup!!! I did find that Iggle Piggle or Yo Gabba Gabba can sometimes buy me maybe half an hour if the timing is right lol. That and some toast or a sandwich, hands and eyes are both occupied then. Mind you, mostly, I don't get anything done really other than cleaning up from making toast/sandwich and maybe making a cuppa before the calling out starts!

yes yes and yes.

DS is the worst but DD is loud and in your face and I'm well not. Though mbear's right it is an age thing. DD has started to go off and shut her door and do her own thing for a bit now, or take herself outside and play so I get a bit of reprise, but that's usually when the tag teaming starts.

I think that its a normal part of development for some kids, although infuriating!
My nieces are 4.5 and only now becoming more independant.
