[quote=Anonymous]Communicate and set boundaries.  If he has to schedule calls, then he schedules them all for between x and y on Tuesday (or every morning), so that everyone has the same expectations.  If you are, say, standing in line at the roller coaster and he checks his BB, no biggie, but better to do it at transition times, like while you are waiting in line for something and not also talking at the same time.

I've checked my BB in the bathroom before so that my kids and DH didn't have to see it.

He *can* set limits, and he can also manage things so that you and your DCs know what to expect.

I do the same thing most of the time.  It's really a matter of communicating and scheduling stuff for the least disruptive times.

We both have clients who would love for us to be available 24/7, so if you wait for the quiet periods, they will never come.  We are both senior lawyers in large private law firms.  I learned how to manage the BB/vacation conflict (and my BB vs his BB vs vacation) the hard way.  Please learn from me so you and your DH do not have to![/quote]
