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.

How utterly shallow, I really hope that this gives you a wake up call.

Bumblingbee101 · 20/04/2025 13:24

This isn't probably what you want to hear @Whatslovegottodo25 but as a Mum of two who also runs baby classes I can understand capturing those precious first moments but that is exactly what they are precious moments. Enjoy the moment with your little person and stop worrying about whether your Instagram content is influencer worthy because trust me all your little person wants is your attention. They don't need to be dressed up as a bunny or a chicken. It's cute send it to family. Post on your grid if you want to but honestly falling out with your husband over it is pointless, you think henis ridiculousbut he also might think the same about you and he is also entitled to an opinion. Lots of people keep their children off social media for safeguarding reasons, you have chosen that it's right for your family to post, which is fine but he doesn't have to. Stop living behind the camera and start being present as before you know it it'll be gone and you'll wish you had spent more time soaking it in. Try and have a happy Easter together and hopefully you all enjoy your day 🐣🐰

Are either of you famous? Do you have an agent?

AlphaRadiationIsHeliumNuclei · 20/04/2025 13:26

I hope that in 20-30 years time your child doesn't resent you for sharing their image all over sm to anyone and everyone. Including some very bad people.

MyPinkFish · 20/04/2025 13:26

This is quite possibly the daftest post I've seen. You're being too much and pushing him away

Morry15 · 20/04/2025 13:26

Meanwhile in the real world....

Anyone else not give a shite whether the poster is Gen X, Y, Z 🄱

Yes. I have no idea what age of person these all refer to or which I am. It’s something that pops up all the time on MN but never in conversations I have in real life.

snickersbarchild · 20/04/2025 13:28

I bet this is JUST what Jesus planned when he arose from the dead on Easter Sunday.

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

I don't think you mean Gen X

What’s an Easter ā€˜prop’?

More landfill shit is my first guess

Pretty sure this is Gen z

Also for those who care, he has already picked his two photos out for our anniversary post so no issues there either x

It was a worry for me, glad you've updated me about that as l couldn't concentrate on my Easter eggs.

If l started a row with my husband about joint posts on Instagram then he would either think l was on the wind up or l had lost my mind. In the grand scheme of things it's not important and no one cares. I suppose unless some thinks they are an "influencer" which is an epic cringe

Nailed it.
Some i read about on here are just mental.

I’m gen X with a 19yo gen Z child - who reckons that the attitude OP has with the joint Instagram post is insufferable.

Riaanna · 20/04/2025 13:38

Jeez what are you going to do if something actually happens in your life. Imagine this being something you think about šŸ˜‚

SpryUmberZebra · 20/04/2025 13:39

Whatslovegottodo25 · 20/04/2025 08:35

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.

You will be LIVID, you’re hilarious. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜…šŸ˜†šŸ˜šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜€šŸ˜…šŸ˜†

Seriously you need to grow up.

Itisjustmyopinion · 20/04/2025 13:40

What’s more ridiculous than the OP is about half of the posts on this thread are having a go at a poster for using the wrong label for a generation which she corrected herself about 10 minutes after her post hours ago

XWKD · 20/04/2025 13:40

It doesn't matter.

I do social media and OH doesn’t - IG isn’t the real world and I can’t see why this would upset you - focus on how he treats you in real life.

WooleyMunky · 20/04/2025 13:56

Do you know who cares about Easter?
The bloke that got nailed up.

Everyone else, including the blokes' Dad.

Please grow up. You’re too old for this nonsense.

Everything that is wrong with the world right now - I fear for humanity. Give me fucking strength....

I really and truly wish I had so little problems in life that this would be a problem for me to post about. You must live an extremely charmed lifešŸ¤”
