You're not spacing them out correctly, you have to wait till the oldest one can help take care of the youngest one.

Also depends on the temperament of the kids. My young daughter can dress herself, brush her hair, get her cereal, essentially take herself from waking up to ready to leave the house with minimum input from me. My son on the other hand will get distracted with toys, run around the house playing, and generally takes 90% of my attention to get ready for the day. 100% if I don't want a whirlwind of clothes and toys to clean up. Granted, he's 3... If I had two kids like that I couldn't imagine a third.
Chiming in as someone with identical twins, one of them is far more self-reliant, while the other one has her head in the clouds most of the time.
