It can be frustrating, I agree. My wife and I have a 2 year old boy and she is due with a girl around Christmas. Being able to focus on anything long enough to make any progress (let alone actually complete what you started) is a rarity.
I prefer to meditate and exercise in the morning, so i have tried waking up extra early before my son does in the hopes of getting more accomplished (especially with PD.) But it hasn't worked. My son is also a morning person, and he just "knows" if someone is awake in the house. He has to know what everyone is up to, and so he comes tearing out of his room to investigate no matter what the hour. Even if I am just sitting in my bed meditating, he "knows" and gets out of his bed to come see me. He does the same with his mother.
I try to tell myself that my feeling of frustration when these things happen is exactly what I could be working on in terms of PD. It is an opportunity to step back and let go. But it isn't easy.
