Parents in quarantine share hilarious photos of their lives being stuck with their kids
The struggle is real for parents, there’s no doubt about that. But as they grow up and start going to school, parents finally can have the time for other things such as work. Now here’s the problem with the quarantine situation. Schools are closed and parents need to work from home. And this could only mean one thing. Working parents have to deal with their kids while finding ways to balance work and parenting. Now, that sounds like a tough challenge.
Imagine having to meet some deadlines and your kids would stop at nothing from bothering you. Of course, allowing them to watch TV nonstop or giving them unlimited access to gadgets would certainly keep them occupied. But that’s actually not the healthiest way to let them spend the entire quarantine period. So, this is where clever parenting tricks come into place. Some parents would give their kids art supplies to develop their creativity while they’re also having fun. Or you can download educational and instructional videos so they can watch and learn at the same time.
Having to deal with unruly kids and focusing on your work doesn’t have to be stressful. Think of this, you’re not the only one in this dire situation right now. There are millions of you who are currently trying to figure out what to do with their kids in quarantine. Let these hilarious photos of parents and kids stuck at home together make you feel a lot better about yourself. And feel free to share your woeful wonderful parenting stories lockdown edition too.
