These 23 relatable tweets from parents about quarantine will make you laugh
If we didn't have kids, our days in quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic would look very different. But since there are tiny people in our homes, a lot of our emotional bandwidth is spent entertaining toddlers, breaking up sibling arguments and fielding our 50th "Mom, I'm bored!" complaint of the day.

From naked toddlers in the front yard to husbands who chew too loudly, we've rounded up 24 amazing tweets from moms and dads who are offering hysterical glimpses into life in their own socially distanced households.
