As per the title - Easter Sunday is off to a dreadful start with ā€˜D’ H and I already having had an argument.

Some background, we have individual insta’s but for any major ā€˜announcements/events’ as such we will use the collaboration feature so the post appears on both our grids. Think engagement, wedding, pregnancy-gender reveal/birth, anniversary etc.

It’s our DD’s first Easter so I’ve got her a brilliant outfit, some props and of course eggs. I’ve also got a personalised sort of sign which says it’s her first Easter.

I said to H I’ll get the photos done after breakfast and we can joint post. He says it’s stupid to do this and doesn’t warrant all the effort as it’s ’only Easter’ so he won’t be putting it on his grid.

AIBU to feel pissed off with him? It will look strange if it’s only on my page.

I promise you no-one looking at your insta will even register that he hasn’t posted about your DC’s easter outfit, let alone think it is strange.

Of all things to have an argument over this is what you go for?

FleetwoodCam · 20/04/2025 08:16

Are you 12?

Sailead · 20/04/2025 08:17

I think you’re being ridiculous but I guess this is what happens when Gen X become parents.

ForOliveMember · 20/04/2025 08:17

How pathetic.

CanYouTurnItDown · 20/04/2025 08:17

Is this another one by the same poster who’s boyfriend didn’t put happy Mother’s Day post on?

I don’t think even a 12yr old would be this ridiculous.

Ihatelittlefriendsusan · 20/04/2025 08:17

Kindly. You are being ridiculous!

It's Easter, it's nothing special.

Just settling in.

Sarah2891 · 20/04/2025 08:17

Embarrassing. I hope this is a joke!

My 11 year old would say ā€˜is this a joke?’ šŸ˜‚

REDB99 · 20/04/2025 08:18

You sound shallow, wanting to project your ā€˜perfect’ life but the reality is that you’re arguing with your husband. Why don’t you put an honest post up about the argument? You won’t because you want people to see a filtered version of your life. It’s Easter, not a significant event in any child’s life. A personalised sign? They saw you coming šŸ˜‚

PalmTreeAngel · 20/04/2025 08:18

Why not just post from your account?

No3392 · 20/04/2025 08:18

This is a joke, right?

MixedBananas · 20/04/2025 08:18

What a sad miserable life. Instagram argument omg! Unless he is DMing other women what on earth are you arguing about. What age are you? Married? With children?
This has to be a joke!

Go out and touch some MF grass

LightDrizzle · 20/04/2025 08:18

It will look like what it is. It’s an important part of the day for you to have a carefully staged insta post involving your daughter and it isn’t important to him and in fact he would prefer not to.

Since it’s your position that involves effort and deviation from the mean why do you think he should do what you want?

Loveduppenguin · 20/04/2025 08:18

@Whatslovegottodo25 if this is real…take my advice and get rid of the instagram etc, honestly, life is much easier and freeing without it! I promise!

labradorservant · 20/04/2025 08:18

Oh dear. Not sure which bit to šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøover. The joint insta or the Easter outfit or the fact it’s caused an argument. My DH doesn’t even do socials, my
kids will chose their outfits today (ok they are older). My life must be pointless.

Dozer · 20/04/2025 08:18

This is not Gen X behaviour, @Sailead !

NoSoapJustUseShowerGel · 20/04/2025 08:18

You’re clearly the same person who wrote the posts about your husband not doing posts for Mother’s Day and your birthday. Bore off now.

edwinbear · 20/04/2025 08:18

What’s an Easter ā€˜prop’?

Didimum · 20/04/2025 08:19

Surely a joke. Come on, OP.

Gah81 · 20/04/2025 08:19

Goodness. YABU. I had no idea performative parenting had reached such heights.

A few live rabbits and chicks maybe?
