Why not try taking it off the needles, frogging a couple of rows and going away to make a cup of tea / wait for a week. See how you feel while it's lying there part frogged, off the needles, vulnerable to interference from children & cats. If you feel uneasy about it then you know that you probably like it enough to take it up again in the future - maybe it's the wrong season or something. So put it back on the needles and resolve to pick it up again - maybe as pub knitting or emergency knitting to keep in the car just in case. If it doesn't matter if the cat gets into the basket and frogs some more then you know that you don't care enough to finish it so you can recycle the yarn into something more to your tase.
