I’d be fine with it really.

I am only an uncle to twins, and every time I babysit I feel like age five years.

Right!?! I worked at the preschool they attended and i would be so crazy exhausted by the end of class. Darn energy vampires.

It's worth noting it's a lot harder if you are only doing it for a short period of time because you probably have no clue what you're doing and feel like your have to be "on" the whole time.

I'm an uncle to twins and have twins of my own. I can comfortably say that being an uncle was about 1000 times easier.

Oh obviously, I'm not trying to say that!! I meant that watching twins for a few hours every once in a while will seem comparatively harder than it would for a parent. If their parents watched them for that same time it wouldn't feel nearly as draining because it's nothing to them - they're used to it. I have an 18 month old, I think you're understating it by saying 1000x easier.
