My kids are all grown up but when they were little they used to like to visit me while I was on the potty. We used to just have a conversation about non potty related things.
Just tell them I will talk to you when I come out! Even when you are on the phone tell them I will talk to you when I am finished. Parents must set boundaries. Boundaries is how children learn Respect!

If by memory, I think it is the one time a child can have the parent trapped in a case of undivided attention. :)))

I shower and bath at night when they're sleeping but my youngest son still goes into the bathroom with me. I just have learned to deal with it
Everyone whose saying lock the door must not have children lol mine would go crazy pounding on the door until I let them in
I think you need to sit down with them and tell them that the bathroom is a private room and nobody should be disturbed except for emergencies
I put a lock on the door (high enough for them not to reach) now they don't bother they are older now

That doesn't sound healthy. Maybe try... boundaries or consulting a child therapist or something?
Lock the door. I live alone and when I go to the washroom I still lock the door. xD
Sounds like you all see it as a game or prank. I see no harm in it.
But if you do it back to them and they aren't annoyed by it, they just think it's normal behaviour
No locks for the bathroom? They are cheap and easy to install.
There are few problems in life which cannot be solved with gaff tape and or a hammer, just dont carry these items around in the back of your car.
You are a parents.. Educate them.. Teach them what privacy is...
You should tell them when you're in the shower or bathroom, it's private me time.
I only shower when the kids are asleep and idc if they come in the bathroom when I use the restroom.
Buy bathroom door locks or stop worrying about it, problem solved.
I just ignore them and say can't you wait , all three stepkids are old enough (9,13 &16) to know not to bother when occupied in the bathroom
i don't have kids, but i know kids are a blessing and they need you more now, later a little less
Find a partner so he can distract them while you do these things.
Prank them when they are in there. Cold ass water. Air horn. Be like, paybacks a bitch
