Maybe just my sense, but appears the eldest two kids are getting less and less patient with this...
I don't blame them. It's ridiculous.
During our sitch, my wife tried a couple of times to do the ol' "talking thru the kids" thing. You know, I'd be standing right there, and she'd say to S11 "Ask your father if he's going to be home for dinner tonite." I put a stop to it both times, IMMEDIATELY -- "W, please don't talk to me thru the kids. If you want to know something, just ask me please."
