It is until you stop worrying about it. Your child wakes up crying in the middle of the night, get up, tend to them, go back to sleep. Dog is anxious and wants to go outside, get up tend to them, go back to sleep. Once I realized this and stopped getting angry my quality of life went up! Kids happy, dog is happy, I’m happy (and well rested!)
Edit to add: the only time this wasn’t true was when the drill sergeant threw a trash can in to the barracks and starting screaming nonsense like: “drop your cocks and grab your socks” now that was interrupted sleep and I still hate him to this day.
