One reason to avoid constantly coming home drained and depleted from too many hours of work is so you're not as likely to be touchy, impatient, and irritable around your family. Part of their emotional well-being depends on the pleasantness of your conversation, your ability to give them your full attention, and your quickness to be understanding and forgiving.
