As we find ourselves well and truly in the thick of self-isolation, many parents are scrabbling for new ways to entertain their kids.

Whether that be activities to do with the little ones or simple things to keep them preoccupied while they work, parents are trying it all. Baking, drawing,Bluey…anything that will keep them happy for an hour or two.

WATCH: Homeschooling with kids, according to your star sign. Post continues below.

But as we all know, these things don’t always go to plan…

So from 10 parents from around the world, here are the moments when isolation with children has gone horribly and hilariously wrong.

"My daughter, finally happily playing in her mud kitchen without me there, enjoying another cup of tea made of sand and water, made herself a poo smoothie (so she tells me!). She scooped poo out of her nappy and tapped the spoon ever so carefully into her empty yoghurt container."

My kids found the Easter eggs that I forgot to hide after last night's shop. These were replacement eggs, as I ate their first ones. They now think the Easter bunny has been, so today is Easter in my house. Continuing to fail as a parent! ???????? #EasterAtHome #parenting #teacher pic.twitter.com/T0K3vZn1K8

2 Parents trying to work from home and watch 3 kids under 6. Child No. 2 is in the washroom for 5 min and when I checked on him he had given himself a haircut. Now both kids have #CovidCuts. Are buzz cuts on trend? #ParentingFail #AtLeastHairGrowsBack pic.twitter.com/OHoggWyujy

Here’s a cute picture of my 5 year old eating cake batter. Of course the not as cute trade off is him running around with no pants on screaming poop jokes at the top of his lungs while on a sugar high for 3 hours after. Ah well. Battles. Am I right? #ParentingInAPandemic pic.twitter.com/2xuFjFiaXp

"I did the dishwashing liquid and pepper in water experiment with my daughter - the one that shows how soap keeps germs away. Not only did it not work, but my four-year-old daughter tried to drink the water after. This resulted in her dry retching in the backyard for 10 minutes."
