To be in a different room to my kids

Kids are four and a half and (nearly) two

by 6 I’ve had enough of them (I know!)

Four year old goes in the shower. I can see and hear her. She likes playing in there.

Two year old I pop in the spare room and watches CBeebies on the TV in there. And I sit in my room.

I feel a bit mean sometimes like I should be interacting with them but … Anyway I guess I’m wondering if I’m BU?

No you cannot leave a 4 year old unattended in the shower or a 2 year old.

Parenting is tough but neglect is not the answer,

Needing space is fine. Leaving a 4 year old in the shower alone not fine in my opinion.
