DH utterly useless when it comes to our DC’s birthday

I need to vent…our DC turns 3 this week and I am having to sort absolutely everything.

DH is saying he’s too busy with work to get stuck in with me - but he’s off playing bloody golf tomorrow.

I asked him to pick out 2/3 photos of his choice which I can use on the day for socials - I’m the one doing the actual posts no doubt yet he can’t even be bothered to spend 5 minutes to find these and send to me.

Anyone else have a partner who leaves birthdays to you to sort? It’s infuriating

I think I'd ignore my partner if they asked me to pick out photos for their 'socials'

Same. That's a weird one to pick out from what I assume is a list of things you are expecting.

I find men who regularly disappear off for the day at the weekend to do a hobby very irritating.

However, if my DH asked me to pick pictures for an Instagram post for DD’s birthday, I’d tell him to do it himself because I don’t care about Instagram and if he wants to do it, don’t make it my problem.

Don't have any more children with him.
