[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot compare teaching hours to our 11-12 hour days. You sound very mature, so I don't think you view cell phones like some of us do, which means it's not an alien portable landline but a mini computer..(sorry no insult intended) It keeps us connected whether we use it at nap time or commuting to and from work.
I'm not silly but I need contact with my family during my long work day. Also not very often but I had to deal with teachers or nurses from my 2 youngest schools. I'm sorry but I don't think those things can wait until both of my charges are napping or until I get home at 8. While my husband and I decided he will be responsible for all emergencies, that doesn't exclude me from my mom role or an equal in taking care of my family.
I know you're looking for kudos but I'm really concerned about your disconnect with your own family.
I'm not a huge talker, I'm not on social media but I will never allow anyone to tell me I cannot speak to my family on the job.

The very way you put this "we don't view cell phones the way you do" shows it's a choice, not a necessity.  How did people get through their days before cell phones? Do you think people were disconnected from their families back then? Did family connections not exist before cell phones were invented? I don't begrudge you your desire to talk to your family, but you are pretending that it's a necessity. It's not. It's a choice. A choice that you prefer. That's all. [/quote]
