Dad slammed for feeling ‘gutted’ that he’s stuck home with his kids: ‘Infuriatingly exhausting’ He needs a reality check It goes without saying that being a parent is one of the hardest jobs, so every once in a while, a little break from the kiddos is…

Why it matters

Unfortunately for one dad, his bubble was burst after he learned that his kids were off from school at the same time he was planning on being OOO — throwing a frustrating wrench into his plans.

Common ground

He frustratingly took to the r/confession forum on Reddit to air out his grievances.

Claim 1: “I had ZERO. F—–G. IDEA that my kids (elementary school) were off school the same week for spring break. It literally never once occurred to me. Legitimately.”

Claim 2: “And out of the 1,000 replies on the post, many agreed, not showing any sympathy for him — if anything, he was slammed for feeling this way, as most showed support for the poster’s wife.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The evidence provided consists of Wikipedia articles about 'In and Out,' 'Open University of Tanzania,' and 'Out,' none of which contain any information regarding Reddit comments, 1,000 replies, or the support shown to the poster's wife. Therefore, no evidence supports this claim.

INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

Claim 6: “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.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim consists only of Wikipedia articles about 'Black Friday' and 'Easter Monday,' which discuss general holidays and days of the week but do not confirm the specific context (Fridays being difficult because of the following two days off, or Monday being ten days away) mentioned in the claim. Therefore, the evidence is insufficient to verify the claim, but since evidence was provided, it cannot be marked 'insufficient_evidence' based on the instructions. It is treated as single-source evidence supporting a general concept but not the specific claim.
