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'm embarrassed for you, OP.

No one gives a shit about your instagrams. I'm sure you believe they do, but they don't.

So another ‘happy family’ Easter photo when the reality is something different?

Enjoy your Easter OP.

I agree. There’s nothing wrong with a cute outfit if it’s used to actually be enjoyed by her grandma etc and make the day special.

No one really cares about insta posts - except the very lame.

*searches Etsy for "I've done my first solid nappy fill" signs

Well, he’s right.

Oh joy, another moronic, competetive SM post!

Try actually living your life for the fun of it instead of for likes.

Edit: he didn't bring you the egg - he bought it for you. Spot the lowest common denominator in these predicatable SM upset posts! Read a book instead.

I think someone has been training AI on ways to wind up the women of MN.

There have been some really odd ones recently - this one, a few on why men must be the higher earner in a relationship, and one that claimed that the Supreme Court judgement was that transwomen are women.

We really need to licence for parenthood.

I'm thinking a tasteful 3-foot faux-hardwood cross from TKMaxx, adorned with a crucified Jellycat bunny.

What’s that got to do with it? She’s moaning about her husband - a bloke. I bet you more women care about this stuff than men, even if loads don’t (me included).

Maybe the women that don’t care are just attracted to this thread and others that do care are keeping quiet, understandably.

This!

Really? This is what you argue about. If you need to live your life out via socials then I feel rather sad for you.

Take pics of your kid enjoy them looking cute and stop trying to use them for likes on social media.

Also, you’ll be livid if he does the same with your wedding anniversary?!? Why? Why does he need to show the world how he feels if he shows you in real live? In the day to day interactions you have? In the way he cares for you and your child?

I’m with him, you post on your own instagram.

At least this gives the reality for all those people looking at Instagram thinking that everyone else has it sorted and are having an amazing time as a family at Easter. I’m mean, just look at their beautiful Instagram posts and how happy they are.

this is the reality. Trying to hard, totally staged photos that the baby is forced into straight after breakfast for maximum likes and the parents arguing.

if your kids are running around the garden getting muddy and looking for eggs, you’re doing it right. Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t look amazing on social media. Don’t let Instagram make you feel like a bad parent.

Lol, you’re not someone who obsesses over social media………

Grow up, petal.

I was flabbergasted at your post but am relieved to see the many replies telling you to get a grip 😂
OP, you are creating aggravation in your life for nothing. Go and enjoy your beautiful family, count your blessings and don’t waste time with these self-inflicted social media squabbles.

Omg

I agree with your husband.

Perhaps it’s time for you to stop and read the room OP, virtually everyone over fourteen pages has told you you’re being utterly ridiculous.
Maybe now that you have a child it’s time to grow up and start living in the real world not the fantasy world of Insta. There’s something very sad about people who have to keep proving how happy they are. It’s really a much calmer life if you just live it and enjoy it.

Outfits and props? For Easter? Whats the reason for that? Do you go to church?

I bet there is no real mum behind this OP, and if there is one, she’s not feeling down but having fun behind her screen winding people up. This is way too similar to two recent threads (the Mother’s Day post and another one).

Gen X is way too old for this - my kids are grown ups!
I’m guessing OP is about 14…

The best Easter photo I have of my DC, who are older teens now, was when they were about 4 & 2. They’d been given far too much chocolate for one day, they’d obviously had plenty, but I’d put the rest up on a shelf for another day and so they’d eat their dinner.

I came downstairs, and caught the two of them, climbing on chairs trying to reach them. DS was helping his little sister who couldn’t reach. They look a state, no props, no special outfits, DD was in an old pair of DS’s dungarees and DS was in a t-shirt that was too small for him, but it was such a ‘moment’ that I quickly managed to catch on camera. It’s never been posted on SM but still makes me smile when I see it on my camera roll.

What does an Easter outfit look like ? And what props ?

Easter Props do a one year old? This sounds like a serious case of everything being for the ‘gram’.
it doesn’t matter enjoy it as a family.
