This is a question Crappy relationships

"Recently," Broken Arrow tells us, "The missus informed me that her brother was moving with us." What has your partner done that's convinced you the magic's gone? "Breathe" is not an answer.

Don't Panic!
My personal experience is that It Get's Better. It must have done*, or we'd never have had the second helping!

Two babes are actually less of a handful in some ways, because they can give each other attention instead of just looking to you. And no-one makes them laugh like they make each other laugh.

You got more back from them, after a while...starting at 6 weeks with a smile, you'll struggle to remember all the milestones* as they slowly and joyfully develop into something more resembling an independant human being. Then, it's more like being responsible for someone who is staggeringly drunk. Then, they start talking and you realise that they learnt to listen first and now it's like having a voice recorder in your back pocket that keeps going off by itself. Now's the time to realise that you should have curtailed your free and colourful vocabulary at least a month ago. And so it goes on, like levels in a video game.

Best parental advice I received: "Choose your battles!"
And if you want babies to sleep through the night, read 'the baby whisperer'

Good luck!

* - I may not have been awake enough to notice.

PS If Ebay sold Dull Moments, I would bid for one.
