Ranting and How to approach it in a healthy manner

So everyone knows that marriage has some good times and some bad times. During bad times, I believe the ideal situation is that the couple turns towards each other. However, sometimes the emotional burden is so much due to work, family stress etc. that one just has to let it out somewhere. Once again, ideally speaking, your home should be the place where you can take out those emotions while getting support from your SO. So I have two questions here

1. When does the partner draw the line and say to their SO that the rant is coming between their daily life. It is okay to rant once or twice but is it too much if it happens for a whole week? 2 weeks? How do you guys approach this situation?
2. This is for couples who have kids: How does one still keep a safe space for ranting without your child being affected by it? As an example, last thing your child would want to hear is that one of their parent is screaming on how bad their boss was or him/her mom/dad/[insert some relative] was to him/her.
