12 Oh-So Relatable Comic Strips Depicting a Mom’s Daily Struggles in Quarantine

Ever since the coronavirus pandemic is in the news, several restrictions have been put on our daily activities. People are not allowed to go outside, food safety measures have become a priority, and they are connecting their friends online. Indeed, COVID-19 has changed everyone’s lifestyle in several ways. 

But one thing that has not changed is the mother’s routine. Every mother, be it a housewife or working, is struggling with kids. In this quarantine period, mothers are doing household chores, plus cooking extra for their kids. Also, when kids do not have to go the school, have no homework, what they do is eat and play. 

Amid this serious situation, people are finding ways to work on their hobbies. While some are reading books, others are learning difficult languages. But mothers are not getting time to improve or work on their skills because their kids are not allowing them to do so. Every parent is struggling in this quarantine and waiting for this period to get over soon. Even some shared the situations they are facing in this quarantine on social media. 

Recently, Olga Alexeeva, a Ukrainian artist, described every parent situation in this lockdown period comically, and every mother is finding this relatable. Check out the illustrations that she shared on social media.
