What's a good alternative to 'sit on one's head'? [closed]

My student often uses the phrase 'sit on one's head' when she describes noisy and restless children that don't give their parents or other people around any personal space running around and playing in sentences like 'It is easier to work in the office than at home where you have children who sit on your head'. Does it sound OK and mean what she means in English? Is there a better alternative to say the same thing?

It's not an expression I'm familiar with, and it sounds a little odd to me, but in context it's fairly clear what she means. Without the context provided in your sentence I would not have guessed the meaning.

A more common English idiom would be to say that the children are "in your hair", which means "Irritating one, especially by impeding or interfering with one's activity or productivity". So for example:

It's easier to work in the office where I don't have the kids in my hair all day.
