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.

Hes probably getting ribbed at work by his colleagues or hes telling someone else things arent happy at home (re side piece) and a post like this would look like he was lying.
Or. Hes just a logical man who wants to eat his chocolate in peace.

And do you think the Instagram "props" will be featuring a simple wooden cross and a crown of thorns, or will they be more about special outfits, chicks, bunnies, baskets, chocolate etc?

The title of your post is misleading. He has not said he will no longer do joint posts.

He doesn’t want to do it in this one occasion as he probably sees it as a bit cringe because it’s only Easter.

you’re starting arguments over nothing. Apologise for trying to control him. Do your post, and chill a bit and enjoy Easter instead of getting hung up on the fakery you’re creating on SM (as in actual fact you’re having a rubbish Easter arguing, why don’t you post that?)

@Ihatelittlefriendsusan I have to agree with @KnittyNell shitting all over Easter is a bit rude. Would you say the same about Islam? Hinduism? Sikhism?

Good grief. Are you sure you're old enough to have a child?

With all the problems in the world, this is what’s important to you 🙄

Hahahah this would be brilliant

"I must buy pointless outfits and parade my daughter on social media to show off and my husband must comply with my insta-world craziness rather than behaving normally otherwise he's being unreasonable"

Ok.

Sounds like you have made all the effort just to take photos for Instagram

Other than max 2 cards a year (often none) from elderly relatives I don't think I've ever sent or received Easter messages. Surely this is only relevant for Christians? For everyone else it's just an excuse for cheap chocolate

Omg its social media no one cares!

You realise there are millions of people out there who don't post at all.

Please be mindful that later in life your DD may not appreciate that you've plastered her life all over the internet. Once its out there its out there, even if its only a story that image can be scraped up and used elsewhere.

Coming to MN socials...... 🙄

I think he finds it cringey and doesn’t want to be part of this one

Oh god another insta-hun-wannabe subjecting their kid to forced photoshoots for likes. I don’t blame your husband it sounds cringe AF, I think I’d block you so you couldn’t tag me in these stunts!

What the actual fuck have I just read 😬

This must be a joke, surely?

Gen x are late 40s/early 50s. What an odd thing to say.

Considering Gen X are now between 45 and 60 years old haven't the majority of us "become parents" quite some time ago? Long before instagram was a thing. What a strange thing to say.

Oooh, we could have some fun making suggestions…

It's nice that hes bought you an egg.

But its a shame that he seems to think that your daughter not remembering it is a good reason not to bother, whereas I think it would have been nice if he had recognised the fun and value in doing it even just for your sakes as new parents.

Yes, she's little, but it's never too early to enjoy your daughter.

Perhaps have a conversation in a few days about how being a mum and celebrating family firsts os special to you and that's the point for you, not whether your dd remembers it X

Get a bloody grip. Arguing over an instagram post?

@SaladSandwichesForTea post sounds like a straight answer from Chat GPT and @Whatslovegottodo25 is a troll. Both are probably the same person. Stop feeding it!

NO ONE CARES

Special outfits? Props? Rowing about one person not giving a shit about what people on instagram see (or don’t)?

It’s Easter - if you’re religious go to church, hot cross buns, eggs, roast lamb if you’re so inclined, but the world does not care about a carefully curated set of photos ‘for the grid’.

Blokes don’t care about all this stuff! He wouldn’t have gone out and got the items would he? Why? Because he doesn’t give a crap. And I don’t suppose that many other blokes would either.

I think you are going to be very disappointed with him in the future if this is what your expectations are.

Use technology for something actually meaningful for your child. Put her in the cute outfit & video call grandma instead, that way she gets some conversation. Instead of focussing all your energy on photographing the eggs, do an easy egg hunt with her in the garden.
