As if raising children wasn’t hard already, coronavirus has taken this goddamn mission to a whole new level. In fact, moms and dads have had to go headlong into the call of triple duty—parenting, homeschooling, and coming up with some free-time activities.
While chaos is setting in inside their households, parents are sharing the most hilarious moments of their duty on Twitter. The result is Bored Panda’s compilation of the best March tweets delivered right here below.

That is actually quite sad, and yet so many people still don’t think the US has a gun problem.

When my cousin was around 3-4 my mother tried to sing along to the Elmo song she was singing. Sadie fell to the ground and dramatically wailed, "Asson (she couldn't say Alison), when you sing, you make me so, SO sad!". It is still often quoted in our house even 7 years later.

SAME! I have learned that I'm 98% positive I'm immune for two reasons and note, I'm leaving a 2% margarine for error here. #1 I read that people that have type O blood are less susceptible and #2 I've worked in a prison for almost 15 years, I think I'm immune to everything at this point.
My son is such a chatter box that my mum even said that he seems to talk just for the sake of it. What makes it difficult is he has moderate to severe speech delays so quite often it sounds like gobbledygook.

I have a book called A Nobel Book Of Answers and it explains why not but with french fries. Still, it would be easy to adapt.
My husband and I did my son's homework after an argument, "You are in 4th grade, how hard can it be?" Took us an hour to complete the one page worksheet, we confirmed every answer with his textbook. Next day he said, "Thanks mom, my teacher and the principal want to have a meeting. Every answer on the worksheet was wrong. I tried to explain," rolls his eyes, "The answers are not in the book, they are whatever she told us in class." Argument lost.
I have never been happier that I don't have children. I feel deep sympathy for all those parents who are looking at 6 months of school holidays.
My teenager is home with me and I couldn't possibly be happier about it. She's only a year out from college, so I treasure each and every moment with my best friend and the love of my life.
