I feel like a terrible father and a selfish asshole at the same time.

My sister is flying in this week. I took leave from work to spend time with her, who I haven't seen in years.

I had ZERO. FUCKING. IDEA that my kids (elementary school) were off school the same week for spring break. It literally never once occurred to me. Legitimately.

And now I'm feeling absolutely gutted, both at the guilt, but also the realization that they're going to be home the entire time.

They're both autistic and I cannot emphasize enough how infuriatingly exhausting they are. Fridays are the worst days of the week for me, because it means I don't have work the next two days. And now "Monday" is 10 days away.
