Hilarious Pics Show How Kids Are Testing Their Parents During Lockdown

It goes without saying that staying home all day and homeschooling your little ones for the foreseeable is a daunting ask for any parent.

But spare a thought for the kids, too, who are desperately trying to amuse themselves without friends to play with or anywhere to go during lockdown.

In a desperate bid to keep themselves entertained, some have resorted to using their dogs as makeover subjects and others have decided to tip all their toys onto the floor.

Meanwhile, another child stuck a note on his mum's back reading: 'kick my butt', while a fourth painted his entire face fuchsia using his mum's best lipstick.

You might call it naughty behaviour, but we like to call it creative...

Becky Keeble, 28, is one of many mothers to report on how her daughter Bella, one, is adapting - revealing she has been trying to replace her friends with their pet dog, George.

Last week she found their cavalier-king-Charles-spaniel-Yorkshire-terrier cross wearing bows, hair ties and bracelets, after undergoing a makeover.

The senior student recruitment officer and mum-of-one said: "This is the first time she's done it - I definitely think she's missing her friends and just finding new things to play with.

"They came off pretty quickly - he was quite obliging, he quite likes the fuss so he was happy to sit and let her do it."

Meanwhile, retail store director and mum-of-three Tracey Poll, 42, was left with a right mess to clear up after her four your old son Seth discovered a box of Hamma beads, and decided to tip them across the living room floor - as you do.

Tracey from Ipswich said: "Homeschooling has been entertaining with many failed attempts at a nice calm day.

"My four-year-old is a complete whirlwind and has high demands like any four-year-old - keeping him entertained has been the hardest.

"The house is utter chaos and there's toys, crafts and books everywhere."

After finding a note from her six-year-old on her back that read 'kick my butt', another mum, Marie, confessed on Twitter that 'homeschooling is failing spectacularly.'

The mum-of-two from Waterford said: "I don't really think I'm homeschooling, just making sure they get their lists from the school completed daily.

"Obviously "butt" [is] not one of their lists of word to put in a sentence!"

And don't even get us started on 29-year-old Emily Collett's favourite pink lipstick.

Let's just say that her four year old Rowan was a big fan, too....

Ah kids, can't live with them, can't live without them!
