It's the end of 2020 and parents, you've almost made it.

After enduring a global pandemic, working from home and remote learning, we thought it would be appropriate to look back at the year you've had through tweets that will make you laugh instead of cry.

But first, watch this 2020 Zoom call from the future. Post continues below.

So without further ado, here are 17 tweets that accurately sum up the reality of parenting during the s**t show that was 2020.

8yo is refusing to get on her last Zoom for the day. She’s dramatically stomping around the house saying “I JUST CAN’T DO IT ANYMORE TODAY.” I’m afraid if I give in, it may start a habit. But also, I get it. Sometimes I can’t do it anymore either. #parentingin2020
