It's the same when you have one and then you have a second kid, haha. It's kind of hilarious when DH comes home from work and I tell him I'm going to go to the bathroom by myself for a minute or something, and he needs to watch both kids alone. He'll be like, "But M needs to eat and A is crying!" I'm like....yeah, so? This happens all day long. Either hold the baby while you try to prepare Ms dinner one handed, or put the baby down and let her cry for 5 minutes while you make dinner, or hold the baby and let M cry for a few minutes because she's hungry. No one will die with 5 minutes of crying while I go to the bathroom by myself!

Haha yeah I am that FTM with one kid that's like oh no, crying! As DD has grown, I'm less concern since I know why she's crying, and whether it's serious or not.

I've always been pretty sensitive to my twins crying, even though you're right - it is totally a way of life. There were definitely many days when they were both crying and I just had to grit my teeth and keep making a bottle or changing one's diaper while the other cried. It always put me on edge/stressed to hear them both crying, but you just have to push through it, I guess? One thing that worked in my favor was tandem nursing. Often they'd cry because they were ready to eat and at least nursing I could pacify both of them at the same time! It still works now, too!
