13 coronavirus tweets from parents that give us a reason to laugh

It’s pretty shocking living in this new reality that is the coronavirus pandemic. Add being a parent to the mix, and it can have you feeling next-level frantic at times. That’s when it’s good to remember we’re not alone. We’re all in this together (always at least six feet apart but, you know, together-ish). So while we’re stuck here telling our kids to wash their hands for the umpteenth time and social distancing the best we can, let’s have a laugh, shall we?

1. Seriously … is it?

is it ok for toddler to watch 80 hours of tv per day now

2. Just another day in the life …

As a parent I’m already used to all fun things being cancelled.

3. Finding the everyday miracles.

I never thought finding a large size package of toilet paper would feel better than winning the lotto.

4. If you’re not saying ‘wash your hands,’ are you even a parent right now?

5. And yet, despite all efforts …

Me: Did you wash your hands?

4-year-old: No.

Me: Why are your hands wet?

4: I licked them.

That should kill the germs.

6. And you get a touch, and you get a touch, and you …

While I am worrying about not touching my face, I am watching my kid and every other kid touch just about every surface on this Earth without a care in the world.

7. Sorry, kids … you deserved better.

Prom going to be on TikTok this year

8. You wouldn’t like us when we’re hungry.

*has 4 boxes of cereal in cart*

Random: oh you're stocking up on cereal. That's a great idea!

Me: I always buy this much cereal. I'm indecisive and need to feed multiple humans.

R: oh. I'm still going to do it

I swear if creal is the next thing missing I'm finding her

9. Literally, anything but our wi-fi …

My province has closed schools for two weeks after March Break.

Listen Corona virus, if you even THINK of infecting our wifi while I’m stuck at home with three kids, I will end you!

12. Ready or not, here comes the next Baby Boom.

So with everyone staying home in close quarters, I'm thinking lots of babies are going to be born in approximately nine months from now. I mean what else are we going to do to keep busy?

13. Here’s hoping!
