How do you get parents to respect your boundaries? They email me at 2am and then follow up with me when I haven't answered by 7am. Your child's spelling quiz grade is not an emergency and my office hours are not 24/7.

I provide guidelines and expectations at the beginning of the year to both students and teachers. The best thing I've done is to make the resources available online so that they can both be more self sufficient.

There will always be some parents that cross boundaries, but most have been pretty respectful. If I run into a parent that is pushing the boundaries, I usually reiterate that this is not how things are done. Once they are called out, they usually are fine.

At the beginning of the year, I let let all my students know the times that I am available. I make sure students and parents know that they can ask questions, but unless it is an emergency, I will not respond outside of my office hours

I put an auto reply on my email that gives my hours that I do email responses.

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
