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've got a thick skin" says the woman upset about husband not joint posting on instagram. It's quite sad that social media has taken over some people's lives.

I wish our dystopian future would hurry the fuck up and arrive already. I plan on running amok in all manner of creatively violent ways.

Yeah, we're all still getting used to our reading glasses.

So your daughter is only a year old, but DH isn't excited for her first Easter. It's obvious from your tone (air quotes 'D' H and the "arguing already") that things aren't great between you in private. But your priority is putting on a united front and playing happy families to anyone who might be watching. How phony.

I see you got what you wanted in the end though. Congratulations on successfully stage-managing your husband, I suppose.

Is he being thoughtless? Or does it just not matter?! I feel so sorry for these kids who are used for content.

Because if it's not online it didn't happen, obvs 😂

Gen Z's insatiable need to share

I just voted YANBU to even the balance out a little. Am here in hysterics at this being a thing but then I am on the wiser side of 50...

I am glad you have sorted this out and have shared values on Insta. Shared values remain important in a marriage - including what you post on SM!

Yes, not only did Easter not happen, but their baby doesn’t exist, doesn’t have a sex, and they’re not married or even engaged, far less pregnant. It’s a funny old world.

This is fucking ridiculous.

A wedding anniversary is about you and him. No one else cares.

I wondered who had been buying those Easter crackers I saw in the shops, think I may have my answer…

Thanks for giving me a giggle today on the way for a gruesome day with the in-laws!

Gen X are all grandparent age.

Both ageist and inaccurate @Sailead!

Having said that, YABU @Whatslovegottodo25. Extremely so!

YABU for all the reasons listed and also if you’re sharing your baby’s face on social media.

Unless you're the Beckham's where who sends birthday congrats to each other online is tabloid fodder. But I'm guessing this isn't one of them posting

Literally no-one will care that's it's only posted on your Instagram! Just post what you want and let him post what he wants.

What will happen if a baby's face is on IG?

You lost me at the word ‘props’ OP. You really need to think very carefully about posting your non consenting baby dressed up on social media. Not just for her future self but because paedophiles love free content like this. It’s one thing for you and your husband to make tools of yourself for the gram but posting child content is just off.

You sound awful, pathetic and immature. Your husband is bang on and if anyone is being unreasonable with this ridiculousness it’s you. It’s EASTER, eat some chocolate and calm down. Also try to remember your baby is a child not a prop to show off with on social media.

To be fair to us Gen Xers who jumped in to defend ourselves, it was the first post on the thread that actually made any sense, despite being so very wrong.

What? This is a Millennium surely.

Fuck me. Perhaps your husband has grown to be an adult and doesn’t want his life played out on social media…and who could blame him? Get a life!

He’s not being thoughtless he’s just not sunk into the SM/made up life that you have. He’s the normal one.

Is first Easter a thing anyone cares about? Genuinely asking, as I really don’t care about Easter 😂 I posted about my kids’ first Christmasses and birthdays of course, but never Easter.
