SERIOUSLY? Are people THAT addicted to thier Treo/Blackberry? So addicted that you can't put it down to spend time with your kids?
Therapists must love technology. It's what's keeping them bringing in the younger generation to spill the woes of how they were neglected by Smartphone-addicted parents.

Tell your employer that when you leave the office - you're off work. Period. If you have to spend your precious hours for parenting responding to email, you're a complete failure and should be ashamed of yourself. What's more important? Your children or your career. If you choose the latter, call the adoption agency now.
Am I a hypocrite? Not even. I spend considerable amount of time on my Smartphone. The moment I have kids, no more. Not an option. My employer can fire me. That will go over well in court, won't it? Think about it people.
