I thought going remote would mean more time with my kids, but it's actually the opposite. My previous hybrid job had clear hours, but now my boss thinks that having no commute means I should be available all the time. I feel like I'm always at my desk because the workday never really ends. Does anyone have advice on how to get back to a normal 9-to-5?

You have to set and enforce the boundaries. Never respond if it's earlier than 9 or after 5. Block your calendar for all other hours if you have to.
