Have you seen the video?

A father has been labeled “entitled” online after he sent his kids out to hug their mom while she was running a race — almost derailing her chances of winning.

The viral clip, starts with the woman sprinting toward the finish line ahead of the rest of pack as her partner and two kids watch from the sidelines.

Comments ranged from“I can just hear him say, ‘I had to ‘babysit the kids’ for an hour and forty minutes, and you couldn’t even stop to give them a hug?’” another wrote,

“This is a really good example of the subtle way that some husbands treat their wives’ serious commitments outside of family life, like a joke or not serious, or just ‘for fun,’” declared a third user.

Others accused the dad of potentially jeopardizing his wife and kids safety by shoving the kids into the middle of a race.

Fortunately, the competitor runs around her kids and blasts through the tape to win the race. Then after she crosses the finish, he gestures to the side like ‘Hello? The kids?’
