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.

Strong Independent Woman? Who needs a social media post telling everyone how great she is?

Yeah not buying that anyone is this shallow in real life.

Shallower than a puddle after 30 seconds of rain

The strength of a wind up thread is knowing when to stop before the shark is well and truly jumped

After reading all the OPs replies this surely has to be a wind up... AIBU?.... everyone "Yes!"... continues to keep their head up their ass and insist they are right anyway. Also "he should have drafted a post beforehand"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 honestly!

Of course you did and that’s exactly how it went.

I really hope this doesn’t get zapped as it’s quite entertaining. OP, you’re on the verge of being ‘too daft’ now, just rein it back a touch

Why didn't you post about this then? Let all your sm followers know

Writing things on SM to the person you actually live with is low-key chavvy. He did a fabulous job considering you aren’t his mum.

Are you 12?

'On socials' - are you 15?

We really are being dumbed right down, aren't we with all this nonsense? It's like nothing that happens in real life matters any more unless you have some braggy bullshit on your 'socials'.

These wind up threads are getting quite tedious.

Not meaning to sound unkind , It’s stupid social media ! !
It’s how you were treated on the day that matters OP ..
Hope you were treated nicely 🌺

Nobody will have given it a thought.

You're the same poster 100%. We'll suss you out instantly if you try with a 3rd thread 😂

Op when you pick photos to put on your socials it's for your own sake or maybe for the sake of your online friends. It's not.for your partner. Your df did something for you. Putting it on social media would have been to show what a great husband is. It wouldn't have been for you. Why would it? I presume your friends know you are a mum and don't need reminding and I presume he told you happy mother's day in person.

Maybe all people your age do it but stop. It's not a generational thing. It doesn't make sense for anyone to do this. It's unhealthy (as seeking external validation always is), it's a waste of time and it cheapens your relationship and makes it sound meaningless and shallow.

Anyone who bleats on a forum that a meal, flowers, chocs is nothing without the adequate social media gratification is neither strong, nor independent.

This 'socials' stuff kills me. Why do people do this to themselves.

No one cares about your baby pictures on your socials - they don't. No one cares about if your husband brags about you on mother's day. This vacuous stuff is just fuelling the problem we have with all these narcissistic behaviours right now. It's horrible.

People who care would love to see your children in person. Your husband will show YOU he cares through actions towards you.

Coming off 'socials' is freeing and liberating and will definitely improve the mental wellbeing of most.

I wouldn't say your strong or independent if your annoyed he didn't post on social media for mothers day and need that post to feel special (or to make sure your friends know you had a good mother's day).

I deliberately don't post this kind of stuff on social media as there are some mothers/daughters that would have had a shit day through no fault of their own and I don't want to make them feel worse.

Oh you are the birthday poster. Wish I hadn't wasted my time posting.

Yes, I refuse to believe someone referring to themselves as a Strong Independent Woman is not being a little tongue in cheek or taking the piss. Particularly when it is so obviously the very opposite of seeking validation on SM. So well done OP. We bit. 🎣😂

Honestly it's stuff like this that makes me think we really are nearing the end of days. Human evolution is now going backwards.

More like attention seeking and insecure 🤦🏻‍♀️ poor dude has to draft it all in advance now (and even then I’m sure there’ll be something to complain about )

On the last thread she claimed her boyfriend was "punching", allllll her friends said so and therefore he'd never leave her (some posters were telling the boyfriend to run for the hills) 😂

I’m a strong independent woman and can stand on my own two feet.
hardly if lack if lack of social media posts causes such angst.

the birthday one which is pretty much identical https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5297678-dp-refuses-to-acknowledge-my-birthday-on-social-media

I would be gutted if mine did post it on social media
