have three kids and it is MUCH harder - there is always some one to fight with and usually it is 2 v 1 (except for the nuclear times when it is all out war - each kid for themselves cage match time)
costs sky rocket
but the biggest problem - you NEVER have consensus - soem one is always an outlier - worst question inthe world - "Where woudl everyone like to go to dinner" you know you think you are doing something nice, taking the whole snotty crew out - but in the end it is a huge arguement - we all want to go here except for her, we want pizza but he hates pizza (except last night he ate a whole pie by him slef)
it is endless
EDIT - my kids are a bit older than what I have noticed people reporting in prior posts - they at 14, 9 & 8 - my point is things change - it gets easier and tougher, back and forth - we are in a tough phase - everyine hase their own opinions and will voice them with conviction - but they are all still very needy - they can't be left on their own, not old enough to go out on their own - thus the constant disagreement - probably will get better over time - kids learn to drive become less dependent on their parents -
