[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a family law attorney. I think in client-related fields, where your clients know you have a blackberry, smart phone, etc, that they expect answers to their questions immediately. I think that's just the nature of life now, unfortunately. I know that my own expectations about what constitutes a timely response has changed since the advent of email and mobile devices. I know have to consciously remind myself that I am entitled to a life. Meaning, i don't have to return a 8:30 a.m. Saturday email from a client by 9:00 a.m. But, I have to tell you, the boundaries between work and home life is incredibly blurred for me, and my colleagues at least.[/quote]

I think its a balance. Your DH can put an out of office that he is "traveling" and will have limited email responses while he is traveling and can just devote certain points of the day to emails - would that work?

I am in a client related field as well, and if I just checked out all the time, I would have no clients. I know it sucks but its just the reality. [/quote]
