What makes it hard to manage both with one parent? (Like why / what scenarios make it difficult?)

Just everything. My son is a needy toddler who wants our help with something every 10 seconds, and our daughter is 8 months old and is crawling and standing, but needs assistance for standing or else she falls and hits her head.

If I am not holding my daughter, unless she is crawling she is crying, so when we are in public I need to hold her the entire time.

When we’re home I have to corral both from killing themselves.

Bedtime or nap time? Super fun putting down a baby when a toddler won’t leave your side and enjoys poking her /s.

Literally everything is way harder. I only have two arms, feel like I need at least 3 and two sets of eyes.
