One of the rules that I’ve tried to follow is to limit working when I’m home and the kids are awake. I’ll bust out the laptop if need be, but it’s really something I try to avoid. The ultimate time for me is dinner. We don’t allow the TV to be on, or for that matter any other distractions. It’s just family time, and I let everyone know.
However, the BlackBerry is a draw to hard to ignore most often. Just the other day I got a couple of messages and started to bang out a quick response while we were eating. My daughter said to me: “Daddy, no working at the dinner table.” After that the phone went to timeout for a bit. How could I resist?
