[quote=Anonymous]If you are truly willing to risk your marriage over this, take a hard line. First, if your bathroom door has a lock, disable the lock. Take a screwdriver and un-install it. Then, after your DH has had 10 minutes in the bathroom, go stand in the bathroom and tell him hiding time is over. Tell him you will not leave the bathroom until he does. This will trigger a yelling fight-- he will really freak out when he realizes you are serious. Do not cook dinner or do anything other than be in the bathroom. Say "I will start cooking dinner when you stop hiding and come deal with the kids." If he comes downstairs and then starts hiding again, you stop cooking and go stand in his hiding place and repeat the process.

If you're not willing to risk your marriage, then I would work on this from the kid angle. Teach them that they may not interrupt you when you are cooking, at all period. This means that you DENY EVERY REQUEST no matter how simple. No drinks of water, no band-aids, no hugs, no nothing. "I am cooking so you can't be in here." Over and over and over. If you meet their request even once, you'll ruin it.

I am sorry that your DH sucks. [/quote]
