Nobody speaks about the effect of little kids on young parents. It is nightmarish and there is nothing to do about it. I wonder how much damage we get to our minds due to sleep deprivation and shocks. Yes shocks. I once laughed at a report of a mercenary saying he was woken up several times a night with ABBA as a form of torture. I then internally cried thinking of the amount of times I woke up just to hear screams, and put them near my hear in the middle of the night. Or finally falling asleep only for screaming to start, and the rush to stop one child from waking the other, and leading to double screaming. On rough weeks I feel I get ptsd or fear of night time.

I honestly do not understand why evolution gave us this harsh treatment.
