I don't think about it. Eventually the stress becomes a part of life and then transforms into the new normal and I'm not stressed.
But I have a black belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Stress that would make a man curl up in a ball in his closet is hardly worth a thought to me because of the advanced blood flow in my body and healthy lifestyle.
That said, a family man has a lot to be concerned with. We have to worry about personal health, our relationship with God, money, family safety, child development and spousal happiness. This life is for real men. Many of y'all will hit the eject button and buckle realizing everything falls on you. Good luck

Iss real out here. I got all that on my shoulders and still fall short
My son just said "hell no" while playing Fortnite.
Gaming over for the day.
Makes me think about what I'm doing wrong in his development.
Solution , time for more Bible study .
shyt like that is what real men have to deal with. That's just a peek into the lifestyle.
Every minute counts and every decision matters

I’m very rarely that stressed tbh lol I go by this motto: what ever the fukk happens I’ll live lmfao
Not stressful at all. I worked way harder when I was paid 8/hr
This is a better question for @Obreh Winfrey 
Depends on the project. Majority of the time I'm stress free. Haven't put in a hard day of work in about a year. Last time I did , though, it was a "critical" feature on an application we rewrote that wasn't working. That was a couple weeks of stress and anxiety because I was connected to that feature. In the end, my code was all fine, the downstream system blocked the application several months prior. How it didn't get picked up by the application owner is anyone's guess.This is a better question for @Obreh Winfrey
This. None of my IT jobs have ever been as stressful as working in a call center

Well now that I think about it, it is pretty stressful thinking about what I'm going eat for lunch.

This.
There are days when I wander into the office half asleep at 11 AM.
And I don’t stay late to make up for it either.
I usually quit the minute a job gets too stressful or work life balance gets out of wack. This normally happens when there is turnover in the Dept. And management refuses to refill critical roles to try and save money. But instead wants to divy up those extra responsibilities to those left behind.
You change my job duties drastically from when I got hired and I'm out.

I can go weeks literally working 1 hour the entire week (not day).
Literally have gone a week working zero hours. I'd say the most common is about 1-5 hrs/week (again, not day).
However, I've also had days where I've been working the full 8 hours and a little extra late at night.
Overall, much more chill. It'll be different for different companies. While I'm clearing $100k easy, I know I can get paid much more somewhere else, but again I work zero hours a week sometimes so that's an insane per-hour salary.
There's also a factor of expertise: I know the codebase. In my opinion know Javascript and Golang very well and am picking up Rust nicely. I can normally fix issues quickly and go right back to chillin. The longer I work somewhere, the easier the job gets and the less hours I spend working. I can see an easy issue some people know nothing about, slap a multiple day estimate on it and chill.
That's the great thing about tech: the more you know the more efficient you become.

I got promoted at the end of last year to a new job team (manager to sr manager)and actually face significantly less stress than previously.
I find that proper planning and delegation really helped in this. On my last team every day was a fire drill whereas now they’re rare and when they do happen we have a process that makes it much easier to manage.
Also helps that my new leadership has established a vision that’s pretty easy to follow
