When two children each "urgently" need something different at the same time, and from the same adult, the adult is very likely to experience a combined feeling of annoyance, frustration, desperation, panic, and failure. This feeling tempts parents to tell their friends who don't have children that they are NEVER allowed to complain about how busy they are.
While this may seem like an exaggeration, or otherwise unreasonable, it's simultaneously very real, and - well, just ...never mind.
