Well folks, we're officially halfway through 2020. And what a wild ride it has been.

The past few months in lockdown certainly haven't been easy for most of us. But for parents, it's been especially difficult.

In the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents were faced with the struggle of trying to home school their childrenandwork from home while trying to keep their kids (and themselves) from going completely stir crazy.

Watch: What homeschooling children is like according to your star sign. Post continues below.

And now, with school holidays already kicking off in some states, the fun of 24/7 parenting is about to start all over again.

So, to help get you through the next couple of weeks (and give you a much-needed laugh), we've rounded up 19 tweets that perfectly sum up exactly what parenting is like right now.

You can thank us later.

Just heard the tween screaming “INSIDE voice Dad inside voice” at my partner as he conducts a loud zoom meeting from the dining room. How the tables have turned. #isolife #parenting #insidevoice

My 5yo has gone from simply repeating back everything I say to now repeating back everything I say but with a question mark at the end. This should serve as a reminder to us all that no matter how bad things are they can always get worse.

Does cooking with small children bring the control freak out in everyone, or is it just me? #lockdown #parenting

Parenting is just a cycle of cleaning up one room while your kids wreck another.

Can't tell if feeling unwell is heat exhaustion, parenting, burnout, #Covid_19 or being 35.

Send me parenting solidarity please! Lockdown has properly got to my little one today who wrote this and presented it to me. On the bright side her spelling is accurate, she can articulate her feelings and she isn’t afraid to express them 😂 pic.twitter.com/lskqz6DqLu

The only way I can describe parenting a 4 year old in lockdown is that the formal conceit of the Battlestar Galactica pilot episode “33” hinges on an exhausting & chaotic 33 minute time loop; the maximum attention span of a 4 year old is 16 minutes.

I was folding clothes and my 3yo asked me to play hide-and-seek. I said, ok go hide. After like 15 minutes I hear a little voice yell, "mom are you gonna come find me!" I totally forgot we were playing hide-and-seek, I just kept on folding clothes lol

Earlier today I quit my job (of parenting) and laid down on the bed until my daughter brought our Extremely Licky Dog in to lick me. There’s no moral to the story. Parenting is weird as hell, man.

About 50% of parenting is just arguing about which kid did or did not flush the toilet.

— Divergent Mama (@Divergentmama)

A surprising amount of parenting is bribing your kids with things you don’t want to do, then breathing a sigh of relief when they mess it up so you don’t have to deliver.

If you like long, rambling stories without a point or context, then parenting might be right for you.

How many times a day do you have to do THE countdown before your kid listens? Five, four, three, two,...I’m at about a million for today. #parenting #parentingrocks #adventuresinparenting #fiveyearoldsareannoying
