first i think that you should let him take stresstabs..^_^ or you could make him a special dinner when he gets home so he wont be as tired as he seems when he sees that you see that and that you want to make him feel better.. also try to tell your kids that they need to tone down so their father wont he hot tempered because he's super tired.. i think that you and your kids are the ones who should adjust because you're not tired and you know what to do..while your hubby is stressed and wants some peace and quiet..so just try to respect that..^_^

He needs to learn to leave work at work and home at home I know from experience I worked 14 hours a day 6 days a week had 4 kids and only was allowed 2 hours sleep a night or day depending on shift,so I found myself very on edge with my kids and a husband who did nonthing but I figured out quickly that I had to do something so I took about 30 to 45 minutes after work to go blow off the days work so I was not bringing it home and my home life everyone prety much knew but allow him to have sometime to go fishing or something he would want to do right after work instead of coming home.I hope this helps and good luck I am here if you need a shoulder.

When he gets home, after the kids greet him, send them outside or in another room to play quietly for a while. Let him have half an hour or so of peace and quiet to unwind or talk about his day if he likes, or take a short nap. If you have had problems with the kids or other issues during the day, wait until later in the evening to talk about them. Making his homecoming peaceful and stress free so he can let go of the stress of his working day.

You'll have to discuss this with your husband and let him be aware of how he reacts to his kids when he gets home. I guess since stress cannot be avoided at work the only thing to do is to always prepare the house as relaxing as it can be. When he arrives allow him to rest and be with himself if he wants to. Talk to him when you feel that he has rested already. As for the kids maybe you could explain to them that his father is just tired from work and they should understand not to bug him or disturb him when he gets home. To distress him maybe on weekends or during his day off spend some time relaxing outside the house and with the kids. have some bonding time together.

ya people are very stressed after coming bac from a stressed out work schedule , , , i guess the first thing wat he must do rite after coming bac and changed his clothes , is to wash his face with cold water , and sit under the fan ( this wud cool his head tremendously ) and just think that now he completely free of every thing , , let no one talk to him for about 15 mins , let him take his time , may be a fresh juice do the job , , buttermilk is usually prescribed , , , anyways thanks for posting the topic
