Woman livid as 'entitled Insta-mum' spoils son's Easter egg hunt to take a photo

While Easter isn't all about chocolate, many families celebrate the day by taking their little ones on an Easter egg hunt.

It can be great fun for the children and parents alike, providing some adorable opportunities for cute photos.

However, some mums and dads might take it a little bit too far when trying to get the perfect picture for the 'gram, as one woman found out when she took her three-year-old on an Easter trail.

The unnamed mum was left fuming after the day was spoiled by an 'Insta-mum' who disrupted her son's egg hunt as she didn't want him to be in her photo.

Taking to Mumsnet, the unnamed woman asked if she was being unreasonable to be annoyed about the incident, where an "Insta-mum" asked her child to "get out of shot".

She explained: "We're on an Easter trail. I get that, for lots of people, it's all about the photos. But seriously, there were A LOT of plastic tat photo-ops available.

"Son is busy 'trying to read' a sign, when Insta-mum comes up, kids in tutus, bends down to son and tells him to get out of shot.

"Didn't even look around for a parent or whatever!"

The mum continued to say: "I dutifully removed him, don't worry.

"Is she a cheeky f**k, or is it just me not getting with the times?"

Dozens of people responded to the mum's post, with many branding the other parent "entitled" for her behaviour.

"Very entitled, she could have waited for him to finish reading the sign," one person replied.

Another said: "If she wanted a turn without anyone else there in a public place she should hae waited for it. It's so rude to expect kids to sop their fun and move out of your way."

Someone else added: "I'd have plopped myself down right in shot, scratching my belly with one hand and my backside with the other whilst pulling faces. Can't be doing with bl**dy Insta posers."
