The digital age I tell ya!

Parents can troll us on social media. This is a fact. They may or may not realise that they’re trolling us on a public forum, but at the end of the day, everyone gets to see what they have written. And an 18-year-old US resident, who originally hails from Pakistan, learnt this the hard way.
Abeera Tariq attended a family function recently and clicked hundreds of pictures. However, she did not find a single picture of her along with her brothers alone. Wanting a picture with just the siblings, she decided to crop her mother out of one photo and posted it online. However, the innocent cropping did not go down well with her mom, who went on an emotional overdrive.
In a series of comments that Abreera shared on Twitter and have hence been retweeted 15,000 times, her mother said, “Why u crop me out stupid idiot, Batameez. U all here in this world because of me. Post picture again don’t crop me out.” If the message had ended there, we would all know it’s just a minor tussle but what followed next has had Twitter in splits! “Nashukray bachay. Itni mushkil se paida karo aur picture se crop kar liya! (Ungrateful child. I’ve given birth to you with such difficulty and you crop me out of a picture”
I cropped my mom out of ONE of the HUNDREDS pictures we took because I didn't get a picture alone with my brothers, she's so hurt pic.twitter.com/lEvtPQjy8g
