Include them in the decision making so they don’t feel like you’re “always” on the computer. Decide how much time you need on the computer during the day then approach your family. Tell your spouse and your kids you need 3 hours during the day to write and tend to emails. Then discuss as a family when those three hours will be. Avoid hard feelings, on their part, and feelings of guilt, on your part, by letting them have a say in your time management.

I've resigned to the fact that I'll always be a horrible mom for something or other, but I know deep down I'm pretty okay :) I love your response "playing" that's brilliant and it's so important for kids to do.
