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.

I think you are being absolutely ridiculous. How old are…12? It’s instagram, nobody cares. Grow up.

What on earth are Easter props? Regardless, for most people this is very excessive and I'm not surprised your dh isn't interested. Anyway, the main joy of family photos is for you to look back on in years to come. Nobody really cares about seeing them on Instagram.

Get a life! I’m lolling at your awful ‘props’ sort yourself put before he leaves you and get out more! Also I hope this is a joke it’s got to be 😂😂 absolutely insufferable you do realise everyone rolls their eyes and takes the piss when they see those awful joint themed posts right?

Yes I did mean Z. Typo. I’m X in my 50’s too!

Absolutely. There are multiple demographics on here, and multiple age groups. Including child free people. Didn't mention them in my post where I mentioned all the demographics and age groups on here. Sincere apologies.

I have to say, I’m kind of with your DH on this. All seems a bit staged and wanna be influencer. A pic of your dd with her Easter egg, having an Easter egg hunt, cute.

a staged pic with signs and props. A bit much. But I know it’s pretty common these days to make a show of every mile stone on Instagram.

Or, if you've been around here long enough, "cancel the cheque" - which in itself is really showing its Gen X age as who uses cheques these days!?!

Agreed.

OP, gently and with kindness..
you’re a fucking idiot.

Kindly............. 😂

This cannot be real. If it is, congrats OP you win the Shallowest Poster of the Year award.

As for your "easter props" I suggest you read the thread about how many shops are basically just selling landfill.

Wouldn't it have to be entertaining/amusing to be "top level"?

I'm team DH here. Life is too short. Maybe he's woken up and thought, "You know what, I really don't want to look like a plonker today by posting pictures of my kid dressed up like a bunny".

Are you deliberately being nasty?
Easter may not be special to you but it is to millions of Christians all over the world.

Well, yes. Neither of my DDs got Easter eggs on their first Easter. They were both between 6 & 12 months old, so on solid food, but I wasn’t buying them a chocolate egg. And I don’t do other presents for Easter.

You’re both sad twats

And he’s absolutely right, isn’t he!

You need to get off social media.

It's social media making you think it's important and you engaging in it perpetuates the cycle.

You have a problem and are part of the problem.

Hahahhahahaha!😂

Are you old enough to have a husband and child? No-one cares about your "Insta" announcements!! Grow up!

Have you asked DH if he likes the photo with props? Some people would but others would cringe. Perhaps he doesn’t want to be associated with it?

I somehow don’t think the OP is off to church today.

I think my issue would be it feels like all the effort you have put in is only so you can post it on Instagram, it makes it feel quite disingenuous. Maybe by scheduling in a little photoshoot, feels a bit much for him and that it’s all so forced.

If I want to post photos to my family as a whole, I do that in our family WhatsApp. So your justification is nonsense OP assuming you have many dedicated followers on Insta.

Is your baby enjoying their eggs and 'props'. Or crying because you two are bickering?
