You just can’t fathom how much harder everything is with even one small baby around. It doesn’t take more than an hour either! My own Dh was complaining about the state of our house right after DS was born. I left him for an hour with the baby and said, “all I need is for you to fold this one basket of towels while I’m gone. Can you do that?” Nope, he learned quickly why the house was a disaster and he quit giving me a hard time. Lesson learned.
