Husband walking into the house still on work call

[Barktip]

DH works long hours, has an hour + drive commute and always has work on the brain.
something that has been riling me is that he will use the commute to make phone calls that he then continues as he walks into the house.
I don’t know why it winds me up so much-it just seems rude to me and the kids
He will say that the alternative is sitting on the drive to finish the call which is marginally better but really I want him to acknowledge that what can’t fit into a 12 hour working day should probably be left for another time and that he needs a division between work and home.
(predictive typing just suggested divorce instead of division which might be quite appropriate!)
what should I say to him (if anything?)

Yanbu. This would annoy me too. I would tell him he needs to finish the calls in the car and seperate work and home.

If you want to talk with him about it then it sounds like you should schedule a meeting.

How long does he continue once in the house

This annoys me too. YANBU to mind.

Give him a break. If he was staying on late at the office every night just to finish work calls before coming home you'd moan about that. It's not ideal but could be worse!

Both DH and I have to do this sometimes. DH quite often. It is what it is. He’s a good dad, an equal parent and a husband. I don’t read anything into it. And whoever is at home shoves a cup of tea/coffee at the other one in solidarity.

My husband is like this (not always the phone on the way in, but logging on on the weekend, out of the house for 14/15+ hours a day, work always on his mind) And although I don't like it particularly, he is earns alot of money and gives us a lovely lifestyle (I work too, but I earn 1/3 what he does). For me its a trade off for the money to be honest, and it is for him too. Hoping to retire early!! If he didn't earn as much, I'd be more pissed off.

Don't ignore predictive text. It knows.

YANBU. DH used to do this and I told him to stay in the car till he was done. I also used to go out and knock on the window if he was out there too long. Either stay at work or finish!

Anything from 5 mins to half an hour.

Sounds pathetic but when I’ve been on my own with the kids I look forward to some adult company when I hear his car pull up but then if he’s on a call it sours it and I find it hard to be welcoming when he deigns to join us!

You're being ridiculous. Would you rather he stay in the office till all calls are finished and then come home. What job do you do?

Presumably he's working because he has to, not because he wants to work so late?

I would let it go. It's obvious he wants to get home to you and the kids, but still has meetings to finish.

You'd moan if he stayed at work until his calls are finished, too, I think.

Oh give over. Give him a big smile, 5 mins to round his call up and put the kettle on. You can then chew his ear off.

What's your suggestion for an alternative?

Poor guy, I feel sorry for him. A full day, long commute and you there waiting to be entertained the second he gets off the phone. I think you're being very U.

I’d rather he stayed at work and then used the commute to relax so he’s not always in work mode
Or at least come in, say hi, then take the phone.
it’s the walking in on the phone that annoys me.

You are being ridiculous.
You don't need your expectations managed, you are not a child.

Agree with this

YABU he's trying to multi-task, finishing his work call whilst coming home. He could sit in peace and quiet with a coffee and a snack in the office or his car for another hour. Would you prefer that?

Yes

YABVU.

I wouldn't want to stay at work an hour later just to finish a phone call that I could have on my way home.

Do you have a job?

I would be pleased that he has a career and not just a job.
