Dad of three young kids here.

Brain is definitely different.

So much of the disruption is dependent on your kids personality, any medical issues (and sleep).

If I had 3 clones of each kid and their personality my stress would range from minimal:

"this parenting thing is amazing with some difficult moments and changes of rhythm"

To if I had three clones of the middle child, I would be losing my complete mind.
