We've suffered through playing in a crowded youth center with ping-pong balls and the occational pool ball flying by and fifty people screaming in the background, in the all-too-frequent cellphone calls by another player's significant other, the occational pause to find the right music for the mood, to answer to door to get food and/or travel to get food, late players, people leaving early to elsewhere/to work/home, pets at other players homes wanting attention/to be fed/to be walked, and so on.There are times when you can do in-depth immersive RP, and there are times when it is elusive. But that will happen regardless of whether or not children are part of the occation; players are quite capable of derailing a thrilling scene with 20 minutes of Monty Python quotes or bogging down on looking up a rule.I don't look on other people's children as an impediment to my RP (and they have felt the same, at least those we play with) any more than I look upon the player who drank 3 two liter cokes in half an hour and has to go to the bathroom every 2 minutes, or has to check in with the spouse/SO/etc every so often, or gets easily distracted playing with their dice, or whatever.</blockquote>
