However, this sudden shift in routine has caused a lot of problems to arise for a lot of them.

If you’re one of the parents going through this, know that you aren’t alone. So many parents are struggling with the exact same problems right now. Some parents have even documented the challenges that they are facing on the day-to-day, and the results are so funny. Keep reading to check it out.

1. Dressed to impress

This exasperated mama’s kids were able to convince her to dress up in her old wedding dress…and well, since she had nothing else going on, she conceded and wore her wedding dress to lunch.

2. Kids and their attention spans…

They can’t seem to pay attention in class, but apparently if learning is on their terms… their attention spans cooperate. See, one of the boys is even raising his hands!

3. Homeschooling – it’s not for everyone.

This poor mama is having a hard time homeschooling her kid, but hopefully, she can look at this note that he wrote and find humor in it one day.

This parent may have taken the joke a little too far, but they certainly captured the sentiment of many parents right now.
