Mother’s Day 2020 is going to be an unusual one, to say the least.
From Zoom brunches to kid crafts constructed without the guidance of a school art teacher, the celebration is going to require some creativity. Naturally, the funny parents (and children of parents) on Twitter have found the humor in the new circumstances.
We’ve rounded up 17 funny and relatable tweets about Mother’s Day in the age of the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing.
I'm not sure what my husband is planning on doing for me on Mother's Day but I hope it's laundry.

Gentlemen, Heads Up: Your kids aren’t coming home from school with that cute handmade Mother’s Day gift this year. That’s on you. Get out the glue.

If it’s not a secret underground bunker with a strong WiFi connection and a drop box for food and wine deliveries, I don’t want it for Mother’s Day.

Quarantined for Mother’s Day and get out of lockdown JUST in time for Father’s Day....typical.

My husband asked what I wanted to do for Mother’s Day since we’ll likely still be in quarantine and I said wanted to get day drunk on pink wine and spend the day in bed eating cheesecake and to be honest that’s basically what I want every year

And that's now the new name for mother's day guys.
All I want for Mother’s Day is to sleep for 9 straight hours, wake up to the sound of coffee brewing and then have my husband say things like, “I’m gonna entertain the kids all day so you can sit on the couch in your pjs and buy your Mother’s Day gift in peace!”

Look, I want this endless quarantine to lift as much as the next guy, but out of an abundance of caution we should probably make it sure it stretches past Mother's Day...

I keep getting press releases about specialty face masks and designer hand sanitizer that are "the perfect gifts for mom" and I'm not a mom and I'll never be a mom but I think I can safely say that if I were a mom, the last thing I'd want for Mother's Day is COVID-19 swag

Hey dads, we have less than 2 weeks until Mother’s Day. Your children will not be making cards or gifts in school this year. Get to it. I’d hate to see any more preventable deaths.
