A dad who took to the r/confession forum on Reddit to express his frustrations about being stuck home with his kids at the same time as he planned to be away from work due to their spring break, causing him to feel "gutted" and "felt like a terrible father and a selfish a—ole". His children are both autistic and their exhaustion is described as "infuriatingly exhausting" by their peers. The post received 1,000 responses, mostly supportive, with many questioning his lack of knowledge about his situation. Some users suggested that he should have known when his kids would be home for school and suggested that his wife should be watching them.
