[quote=Anonymous]I work for myself and set the schedule. I used to respond at all hours because it was efficient and easy for me. As my kid got older and weekends got busier, I don't. If someone sends me an email at 7:15pm on a Friday I don't respond until Monday morning (I usually look at it to see if it's an emergency, but it never is in my line of work). I'd advise you to set the boundaries here, but it sounds like your organization and line of work expects accessibility after hours (because that's your client's hours). You see it as an intrusion on your family hours because it is. If that makes you unhappy, consider looking for a new job. It's freeing to not be tied to your work at all hours. If you can swing that, I'd do it now. [/quote]
