It seems as if she was in auto-pilot and completely forgot her kids

Every parent will know the stress of the school run each morning, making sure your child has remembered everything from their homework to their lunch - so it's not unusual to forget a thing here and there.

While parents do their best to try and help them get to school on time, one mum couldn't believe when she did the school run, and forgot the most important thing - her children. She looked back and realised the passenger seats were empty, and was driving to the school, without her children, and hilariously shared her error in a video. As she was in hysterics, the mum said: "I'm driving to school without my kids. I'm taking the kids to school and I don't even have them in the car."

She was left in hysterics by the small oversight

Her children were waiting outside the house when she returned

"I have to go back and pick them up. I can't believe I left my kids," she said and added: "I got in the car and left. Oh my god I'm such an idiot, I was half asleep this morning. Where are my kids?"

It seemed as if she was in autopilot that one morning as she admitted she was "half asleep" and didn't realise she'd left her children behind. The mum, thought to be from the US, turned around to head home and found her two boys stood outside the house waiting for her, with one of them asking: "You went all the way?", as reported by The Sun in 2020.

The clip was reposted on Twitter, with the caption 'She really drove her kids to school but her kids weren't in the car I can't stop laughing', racking up more than three million views. It tickled many others, as one replied: "She said hmm you guys are pretty quiet this morning," while a second wrote: "The definition of 'I'm leaving in 5 minutes, with or without you'."

A third said "When you be on autopilot..it's ridiculous the s*** you miss lmaoo," and another added: "I like that you can tell that this isn't staged! She's a real mom who was real tired who real life just got in and started driving. Hope she had a good rest of her day."
