Self-isolation by yourself, with friends or a partner, is one thing, but being stuck inside with all your little ones too? That’s a whole other ball game.

And now that COVID-19 has forced a lot of us indoors, it will become a reality for many.

Mia Freedman’s thoughts on coronavirus. Post continues below.

For some, this will be an exciting time to spend more quality time with their children, while for others, this period will be overwhelming and rather tiring.

So, we have compiled a bunch of the funniest tweets that perfectly sum up what it’s like parenting during this coronavirus pandemic.

Whether you want to laugh, cry or maybe even both, here are 12 tweets from parents looking after their kids at home.

How did the first day of the kids being home from school go, you ask? Very well, if you consider the 8 year old throwing a rock at my wife’s laptop and breaking the screen, as things going well. Someone just got #quarantined to her room for a looooooooong time.

I’m going to post like 80+ stories on Instagram daily. I do NOT apologize for how I choose to survive my kids being at home for a month with no breaks. pic.twitter.com/gopMOmIN7R

Starting tomorrow, a real-life psychological experiment: Me remote working at home and my kids (9, 16 and 18) – also at home ALL DAY studying via distance learning. We got this. #StayHome #finlandlockdown #COVID2019 #WeWillSurvive pic.twitter.com/yDCzIt8aKB

Quick question, how early is too early to drink when you’re quarantined at home with your kids

Instead of complaining, maybe try teaching your children some lessons during this time at home?

I just at all their sour patch kids and put the empty wrapper back in the pantry to teach them about protecting their things.

Small victories – my kids think I went to work. Like, at my office. I didn’t. Instead, I said bye, went out the front door, walked around my house, then climbed through my home office window.

They have no idea I’m home. #teleworking pic.twitter.com/L6mIn6DxOa

I’m capable of working from home. I’m capable of overseeing my kids’ education and care from home. I’m not sure how to do both at the same time for 6-8 weeks.

Working from home with kids today. My 8YO is doing well, my 3YO is so confused that I’m working.

So far:

1. Yelled at me to look at her during livestream 2. Stripped down during a client meeting 3. Jumped on camera during an interview

All I can do is laugh.

Hour 1 of work from home with 2 kids: Oldest, 7, has already cried twice. Youngest, 18 months, is eating cat food and trying to get into the trash can. At least Slack is working. #coronavirus.

What u want quarantine to look like: – sleep late – read a book – peaceful children – home cooked meals

What it will actually look like: – screaming at kids for being too loud during conference call – screaming at coworkers bc you weren’t on mute – cry break – cereal for dinner

I am cooking from scratch, schooling my child at home, knitting and baking and making stock. This pandemic is turning me into a pioneer.

Kids at home from school for at least 3 weeks. I realized something in week 1. Teachers are saints. #Teachers
