I had twin girls in Oct 2019 and I took 3 months paid leave. If I didn’t do it full time during their infancy, my wife and I certainly would have been divorced or maybe dead. It was easily more work than my regular job lol

Ah, twins! I can barely imagine, just had one girl in Jan 2020 (right in time for the pandemic...) and took a few months of (sadly, unpaid) leave. It really was like a full-time job for two.
Congrats btw!

Do you estimate there are any scale benefits or is it about twice the work? Honest question. The worst part most be more interruptions of the sleep, or do they wake up at the same time during the nights?
