First Mother’s Day - DH didn’t put anything on socials

[Genie98]

AIBU to be a bit gutted that my DH didn’t put a post up on socials yesterday to mark my first Mother’s Day? My feeds were full of other posts celebrating their Mum’s and I was hoping DH would have done something to mark the occasion. He has done the odd birthday post in the past and posted about our engagement/wedding etc so it’s not that he has never used it.

Just feeling a bit deflated and a bit jealous of my mum friends who had lovely messages and photo’s from their OH’s.

This has to be made up tripe surely? “Certain standards from our men”,spat my tea out laughing at that.Nah it is a troll.

An adult conversation and no falling out - nothing wrong with demanding certain standards from our men.

Hilarious.

Nothing adult about that conversation, I’m sorry.

Demanding certain standards....

You are definitely the birthday SM poster. Exact words.

A social media post is not a standard. How you are treated in the real world is the standard to be set.

As I said earlier, I wish I saw the ‘birthday’ thread, it sounds like it touched a nerve with many of you!

Yes it’s the same person

Nope, we just can't believe that there are people who get upset because there wasn't a picture on a screen dedicated to them, rather they only got gifts and meals and a lovely day.

"I had a lovely day but I'm upset you didn't put a photo on IG so it's spoilt". Unbelievable.

Thinking something is immature shallow self absorbed (made up) bollocks is not touching a nerve ffs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh fuck off did you suggest drafting it in advance - you’ve gone from the ridiculous to the utterly insane here.

I think it’s all made up rubbish like the last one.

Do you know what I "draft in advance"? Papers & presentations for work. Never, not once in my life, have I thought so seriously about a SM post I have "drafted it in advance".

If OP and the birthday girl aren't the same person, the world has gone to pot that there's multiple people believing this is that important.

It's all right for you, tea isn't so bad but I've now got red wine in my laptop keyboard..... 😢

She (singular) has probably been watching too many TikTok videos about what 'high value' women deserve. 🙄🙄🙄

It does make it clearer how things like Trump being elected happens when you see that there are people this dim and convinced that they’re right (and that sentiment applies whether they’re a troll or genuinely believe this bollocks).

Oh pull yerself together. Really?

If you’d rather your DH sat with his face in his phone on social media rather than paying you and your DC actual attention in real life, then you have some very skewed priorities (assuming this is even real)

This is the shallowest post I’ve ever read.

Really?!.... people are so desperate for validation and attention on social media it's so tragic

Why would he post something like that on social media? He could just wish you.happy MD in person. I think I'd prefer a card written by him from the baby. I'd cringe if he put something online.

He gives us plenty of attention - I don’t need him to be talking to me 24/7. I’m a strong independent woman and can stand on my own two feet.

Surely that's enough. Especially as your DC is too young to be aware.

Make your own post if you need online validation so much. 🙄

Evidently not if your happiness depends on someone else’s social media posts.

Obsessing about the lack of a cringe sm post, doesn't sound that strong to be fair

You must be the same generation as my children,none of whom need this rubbish from their partners. They never use social media in this attention seeking way.
