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.

Oh this is just horrible. Pages and pages of women tripping over themselves to tell another woman she’s awful for wanting to share some photos of her baby’s first Easter online. Honestly how is that a kind or helpful thing to do?

You must be reading a different thread, no one is doing that

The replies are also possibly related to this being one in a series of similar posts which may or may not be by the same poster and the general vacousness of the situation

Yeah it’s the latter. He isn’t the one who has gone to all the effort to get the outfits and props etc, I’ve sorted everything and it feels unappreciative of him to turn round and say he wants nothing to do with it.

It’s our wedding anniversary in a few weeks and I’ll be livid if he pulls a similar stunt.

🤣🤣🤣

Well out of 2,617 votes, 26 people think you are NOT being unreasonable. So that's something I guess.

I want to know what props you’ve bought Grin

ItsAWonderfulDayForPie · 20/04/2025 11:34

I feel sorry for your husband.

Make sure you set up props and photo shoots for when he leaves you so you can have a divorce reveal.

Piusl · 20/04/2025 11:34

I’m assuming you’re the same person with the other instagram threads about their dh too, really you need to get over this, and live in reality

The defining characteristic of Gen X is clearly not reading the whole thread (guilty as charged).

Same here. It’s because we are slackers.

Lambpieforme · 20/04/2025 11:36

Very funny read for a quiet Sunday morning, I suppose this is what Insta was designed for.

Won't be any rabbits as Pets at Home stop selling them around Easter for this very reason.

Yes hopefully, it gets on my nerves when people say brought when they mean buy. Don't get how it can be confused??

Hang on there. Maybe the OP is married to the ā€˜Easter Bunny’. (No sensible human would have her, surely?)

There is another, equally ridiculous, thread about that. Apparently some parents teach their children that a giant leporine brings eggs to their garden by night. šŸ˜€

I still cleave to the view that this thread is a wind-up though. šŸ™„

Dweetfidilove · 20/04/2025 11:38

SM really is the devil's device. Just out here having grown ups acting ridiculous, and ruining their relationships over nonsense.

SleepyHollowed84 · 20/04/2025 11:38

I think that’s unfair to Gen X!

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

How is this a Generation X thing? I think you have your generations muddled.

Duckswaddle · 20/04/2025 11:40

It’s definitely a wind up - the subsequent posts have convinced me šŸ˜†

Whatslovegottodo25 · 20/04/2025 11:41

I can confirm I didn’t start the previous threads (nor am I aware of them). But given the general thoughtlessness of some men, I’m not surprised I’m the only one who has had challenges šŸ˜‚

It sounds like he has realised that adults have more important things to do than post shite on Instagram.

19lottie82 · 20/04/2025 11:42

He’s obviously got another woman on the go! LTB hun! Xxx

Namerequired · 20/04/2025 11:42

Haven’t read it all but I actually think you might not be unreasonable. Do I think the whole joint are even posting thing is ridiculous, yes. It’s not my thing. However I would be suspicious if he had always been in to it and now suddenly isn’t. If your gut is telling you something is off, maybe it is

Come on, surely you didn't expect anyone who engages in something this moronic to care about correct grammar?!

Not grammar.

Spelling or semantics.

Elsvieta · 20/04/2025 11:43

It won't look strange at all - very few men do daft things like this.

The struggle is real in 2025, chin up, big girl pants on and power through the horrors of partners who aren't a slave to the 'gram

But why do you care so much about it being on instagram? Just take a photo for you why does everyone have to see it

backinthebox · 20/04/2025 11:48

This is hilarious and tragic all at the same time. It’s not just your DH who thinks doing staged joint social media posts for every single occasion is stupid, OP!
