Parents, we all feel your pain right now…
You’ve been stuck at home for about three months now and it looks like there’s really no end in sight yet.
And your kids? Oh, those kids are getting restless and they have a lot of pent-up energy that they’re mostly taking out on YOU lately.
So what can parents do? They can vent on Twitter, that’s what!
Let’s see what these funny moms and dads had to say!
1. Time to re-do it.
Do I have to do everything around here?!?!
My son mowed the lawn so if you need me I’ll be outside re-mowing the lawn.

2. Definitely not qualified.
Moving on…
I had a small rip in my scrub pants and ended up sewing both legs completely together. I think it’s safe to say I’m not qualified to be teaching my kids home economics.

3. Up all night.
I think that’s a little young…
You know what’s super fun?
Your 4 yo asking you to explain death at bedtime!

4. That’s not what that means.
Horn dog!
I’ve got a 5-year-old dancing around the house chanting “horn dog” because he’s rhyming words with his lunch today, “corn dog.”
He thinks it’s a dog playing a trumpet.

5. You take care of it.
He’s old enough to deal with this now.
My kid told me there’s a spider in the living room this morning so I’ve locked him in there until it’s dealt with

6. Summer is officially canceled.
Way to ruin everything.
Me: Your school year is officially over.
8-year-old: Yes! What should we do first?
Me: Stay home, just like before.
8: You ruined summer.

7. New year, same story.
Well, that’s depressing.

8. Ummmm, yeah, why not?
Go for it, kid!
It’s barely 8 AM and my daughter just yelled downstairs if it’s ok to start a fire, “as long as it’s a small one”

9. Ewwwwwww gross!
Won’t make that mistake again.
My dumb ass logged my son into his Zoom class and I ain’t have no shirt on Lmaoo all I heard was 15 Lil ass voices saying ewwwww

10. You look great!
The above statement was determined to be a LIE.

11. Good luck, sir.
This is gonna get ugly.
Wish me luck on my son’s final tomorrow.

12. That was awesome!
I hope we can get back to it soon.
Remember overscheduling yourself and your family to the brink of a physical and mental collapse. Man, those were the days.

13. You might need time in a padded room.
In case you need me…
I’ll be wandering round my house muttering ‘there’s just so much shit everywhere’. In case you need me.

14. The days feel loooooooong.
Every day is an eternity right now.
My 4yo used the phrase “a long time ago today” to describe the morning and it’s probably the most accurate description I’ve ever heard.

Oh, boy…I think we all feel your pain in one way or another.
Okay, moms and dads out there, now we want to hear from you.
In the comments, tell us how you’re holding up during this lockdown and tell us how your kids are behaving…or misbehaving.
Please and thank you!
