Huh. That was not how I interpreted that line at all.

That’s going to be a tough one, but definitely set rules as suggested by other posters and you are going to have to emphasise “I’m at work, Dad” whenever he forgets and just pops his head in your office door for a chat or whatever and try not to get annoyed or resentful when he inevitably forgets.

Also, Doctors in Texas will no longer be required to tell uninsured patients with heart problems that chest pains are just “Jesus huggin’ you tighter”.

My dad worked from home and the rule was if the door to his office is shut, do not go in ever. It worked well for us. The trick is enforcing the rule without hurting people - when your family breaks the rule, you have to be kind but firm when you explain it again. They’ll learn eventually. You just have to have a…

Or a new sitcom on ABC, coming this fall! You need to make it clear you on the clock during working hours. If it helps, you can have a visual cue such as when you leave the home office you can socialize or a time schedule. I’ve used the time schedule with my kid on the rare days I telecommute.

Set boundaries. I worked from home for a long time and even though my parents didn’t live with me, it took some serious boundaries to get them to understand that working from home doesn’t mean they can drop by any time, or that my schedule should always bend to accommodate theirs.

So good. Husband and I both work from home and are students so there *always* seems like something we “should” be doing. It does take a lot of work to make sure we have fun and set aside some tech downtime. Inevitably if even a phone is nearby, it’s emails and Facebook and so on.

That’ll do, Rachel.

Seriously I just texted my husband to get a burrito bowl for dinner (which I guess defeats the purpose of the tortilla article, but Chipotle has a strong draw for me)

I honestly never watched it. The CW is not where I go for my medical dramedy’s. ABC’s got that covered. The CW is for inappropriate sex between actors pretending to be teenagers. And The Flash.

I’m honestly not sure which is going to happen first.

We all still watch, obviously. Greys anatomy till I die or everyone on the show dies.

You don’t know my life. I totally watched Off The Map. Fun fact: Bailey’s boyfriend (now husband) was on that show too and so “abandoned” her around the time of the hospital shooting. Then the show got cancelled and he came back and he just got promoted to series regular. Regular Hollywood love story.

The schadenfreude is so delicious I could eat it with a spoon.

There’s a very special place reserved for people who judge grieving mothers. As the girl’s mother exactly whom was she disrespecting? Maybe she chose to present herself as version of the woman her daughter knew best. Like her or hate her she’s proven herself to be pretty indomitable

That’s a bummer. Kendra was always my favorite.

whoa. Ken Jennings is giving sex advice now?!

“I’m flattered you wrote it, but it has no validity whatsoever.” Totally adorable!

Take 1.

1 Week before our wedding on Cape Cod, my mother called to check in & confirm with the baker our order/details. No answer. No voicemail. Emails baker - no response. She calls our coordinator (who lives in area) and she gets REALLY quiet.
