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.

You can demand all you want from your man but this is nothing to do with 'standards'

But mine and my sons in law would think it was even more false to be preparing it in advance

I'm not sure there was much 'adult' in the conversation

Luckily it seems to be missing the next group - my DGC wouldn't do this either and nor would their friends

@Genie98- drafted something in advance?!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So that the OP can check it and make sure it's up to standard, obvs.

Oh FFS, stop replying to them. They’re taking the piss with another entirely fabricated scenario. It’s the same person as the birthday one but it doesn’t mean it’s the same woman in real life who also complained on her birthday as well as Mother’s Day. 🙄

No. No nerve

In my case it made me grateful I'm the age I am and also that my kids and DGCs don't go on SM to post pouting pictures (everyone does the same bloody pose with the same bloody expression!) or gushing posts about nothing much at all that no-one cares about

No. It's a maturity problem

Someone already did.

Suggest you read your thread back, as you suggested we do, and maybe pay attention.

Forgotten what you’ve written? It should be under “I started” in watched threads.

It's not a group. It's just a small handful of very shallow people.

Here is the birthday thread, @Genie98.

They didn’t post a link

I have posted a link for you.

@Genie98

It took me 2 seconds to find.

If you've read your thread as thoroughly as you say, you'd have seen it. You haven't, which is why you think you've had "mixed" opinions rather than overwhelmingly that you're being unreasonable.

I would fucking HATE to be married to the sort of bloke that put a gushy post on Facebook. What a wet lettuce.

What I find works well in a marriage is when he tells me nice things to my actual face.

We write soppy things in cards, but why would I want some girl I went to uni with or one of the school Mum’s to know all that?

Funnily enough I bet she didn’t 🤣🤣🤣🙄

Thanks @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

I have to be honest and say I am struggling with the comparison having read the initial posts.

That person is clearly ungrateful and was deliberately frosty with their partner - I was nothing of the sort. I’ll give it a better look after dinner.

If that's not you, the number of people who think you're the same person must surely tell you that this is how you have come across?

Does he usually update everything on SM? Or, goodness forbid, actually live in the moment and he has made it special for you.

Ugh, please get over the sad need to see yourself worshipped and validated by others. You're clearly loved, what are a few likes on a picture worth in comparison??

Not really - a lazy comparison with posters jumping on the bandwagon

There is no hope for you.

Exactly! It's the ones who boast who feel the need to validate themselves. Sad state of affairs. Xx

I never actually understand why people put a post on sm for someone they live.in the same house as?! Surely you saw him on the day and he gave a card etc? SM posts are to show other people..?

I’m ready to bet OP has no husband, no kids, no life… Otherwise she wouldn’t be creating those fake threads

Yeah ok - course they did 😂😂

This is EXACTLY the phrase that went though my mind 🤣
