As people across the world continue to social distance and stay indoors while the coronavirus pandemic continues, many are finding it difficult to keep themselves busy when they can't go out and live their normal lives. Well, in a PSA that no one asked for, Kim Kardashian is here to remind everyone of the fun things you can still do at home, namely, spend time with your kids.

In a lighthearted video posted by the Twitter account for the Office of the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, Kim stresses the importance of social distancing, with a little help from six-year-old North. Of course, her little one interrupts her mom, as kids do, and Kim is not having it. "Trust me, I want to get out... more than you know," the businesswoman hilariously says. The entire video is a bit of a mess, but funny nonetheless, and evidence that maybe being indoors is getting to both Mama and daughter. You can watch it below.

While many people found the video awkwardly amazing, others were quick to criticize Kim, saying she's not exactly going through the same thing as most in quarantine. For starters, she's a millionaire with an extravagant home, a beautiful backyard, and caregivers for her kids (who may or may not be quarantined with them—it's not confirmed either way). One person tweeted, "Lol, what does she know considering she has nannies and help," while another wrote, "Yeah it’s so easy to stay inside a mansion that has everything you need." Another even added, "it’s easy to socially distance when your entire estate is the size of most people’s villages." Yikes.

Although it's certainly true Kim and her family have it better than most during this situation, we still appreciate her taking the time to encourage her followers to continue taking the appropriate safety precautions. As for her stepping up and donating to those affected by COVID-19, the reality star pledged she would be giving up a percentage of her SKIMS line profits to those in need, as well as a portion of profits from her fragrance collaboration with mom Kris Jenner, called KKW x KRIS. Thankfully Kim is giving back in this trying time, and not just in the form of Twitter videos.
