DH will no longer do joint posts on Instagram

[Whatslovegottodo25]

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

Some background, we have individual insta’s but for any major ‘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.

Ok, I’ll bit. Dare I ask @Whatslovegottodo25what you are expecting/hoping for re the wedding anniversary?

You are two separate people though, he doesn't have to post something that only you feel is important. It's just social media ffs, it's meaningless.

This 😂

Sorry but you sound crackers

I'm not entirely sure of the OP's generation but I'd hazard a guess it's probably mine too.. and I can assure you our generation isn't all like this

10/10. Well done! This is my favourite in quite some time. 👏🐣🌼

Joint posts look ridiculous! You are individuals. And a first Easter isn't a huge announcement. Post your post if you want. Don't dictate what your DH posts and for the love of God do not let something so ridiculous ruin your day!!! How did this joint posting shite even start!?

He doesn’t want his side piece to see. He doesn’t want her to know what a massive dick you are.

But all that can be achieved by posting on your own account. And him posting things he likes on his account.

You’ve not explained why it will look strange to not be on both accounts jointly.

Also, why would you send “first Easter” pics to all your friends?

Op i mean this kindly. Stop living your life through social media, staging photos and using props etc take pics of your kids and forcing your husband to do the same. In the nicest possible way, no one gives a shit what your child is dressed in for easter or where they've been, what they've eaten etc, harsh but it's true, many people will either scroll by without pausing or look and think it's cringe.

What props have you bought for your wedding anniversary post OP?

From my perspective (don’t have a joint instagram account and didn’t dress up kids in themed outfits) I think it’s fine that you do post/he doesn’t, you are keen to theme dress/he isn’t.

However, if this is something you’ve both done a lot together I can understand that you could be taking his response as a rejection and criticism. Suggest instead of being offended you talk about it with him remembering that a) couples can each do things differently and love each other at the same time, and b) him not posting doesn’t need to be a comment on you posting.

Thank you, he has brought me a nice egg but as far as DD is concerned he hasn’t bothered ‘as she’s too young to know what’s going on’…

If this is a real post please grow up. I would be thoroughly annoyed if you were my partner and all you cared about was social media, likes and presenting a fake life to people online rather than being present and in the moment.

Ask yourself would you really go to all the effort you are with special outfits etc if you couldn’t take the photos and post them online?

Christ, I hope you aren't anyone's emergency contact

He's right.

I can guarantee that most people eye-roll at this - are you a wannabe influencer? Grow up.

He sounds sensible

He's right though, she is too young, she can't eat chocolate, what else do you want?

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for him.

“I think you mean Gen Z”/“Gen X are too old” is like the cancel the cheque of this thread.

😆

Love it when an OP only responds to the posts agreeing with them.
We need a forum called 'Echo Chamber' where PPs can only agree with the original assertion, not matter how ridiculous.

Yup

i’m a gen x ( or xennial as i’m on the cusp of millennial) and ive no kids so it’s certainly not just one demographic 😂

You bought props???? Oh my god I’m getting second hand embarrassment for you
