Bear in mind both films are set in 1962... I’m a father who shares duties equally with my wife. Between us, we cope. When one of us is away, all hell is prone

  Indeed, being a single parent is difficult for many reasons but the non obvious one is sleep deprivation, or lack of rest.

    If it were not for the sleep deprivation and the subsequent memory loss, we'd probably all stop at one kid and go extinct.

  > When one of us is away, all hell is prone to break loose. Of course.... with half the capacity to manage the household, it's only natural that things would get, well, a bit more chaotic.

  That is absolutely my experience as a parent as well. Usually when there's just one of us like that its because of an abnormal situation which adds stress as well. Just keeping the household running becomes a feat of endurance. And remember, Mr. Incredible is not just acting as the sole parent. He's acting as the sole parent of a baby exhibiting random super powers. If my youngest could phase through walls at will... holly hell! I'm not sure that any solo parent could keep up with that; I don't even think two would be enough.
