Customers were furious after Center Parcs posted this image of a family of cyclists with the mother at the back of the group

The caption read: “That ‘stay mommy’ moment.

“Book yours Easter pause.”

The slogan infuriated customers, with one saying: “Sexism and misogyny from Center Parcs.

“Why don’t you go on holiday to Center Parcs and retain outdated, patriarchal views about one family dynamic.”

Another raged: “The attitude this advert shows is exactly the kind of comments girls and women have come to expect.”

One said: “Sorry kids, but I’m never going to Center Parcs again.”

The company withdrew the advert after being contacted by The Sun.

A spokesperson told us: “We apologize for any offense our recent social media advert may have caused.

“As a result, we have removed this ad.”

Center Parcs has five holiday villages in Great Britain, each set in one hectare of woodland. A sixth is located in Ireland.

The company was founded by Dutch entrepreneur Piet Derksen in 1968, and is known for his idyllic family holidays with activities such as cycling, archery and climbing.
