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.

Are you the ridiculous Insta birthday drama queen from a few weeks back?!

Hell yes!
Another attention seeking thread!
This is her third one…

In the kindest way possible OP this is deranged behaviour from your husband and yourself, I mean grow up please!

Psychologymam · 20/04/2025 14:01

I felt guilty that I felt a bit sad about husband working all weekend (didn’t express it to him because I’m aware that it’s not reasonable). After this post, I feel he’s quite lucky to have me 🤪. This has to be a wind up?

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

Wrong Gen

lovelydayIhave · 20/04/2025 14:05

There was a birthday one, op made two threads about it- one wasn’t clearly enough and then Mother’s Day one.

PineappleChicken · 20/04/2025 14:06

The vapidness of this is everything wrong with society nowadays. I looked at some ā€˜reels’ on Facebook the other day for the first time and wanted to rip my eyeballs out. The absolute vapid, stupid, self-obsessed shite people are putting out there is baffling. It’s madness that they take hours to film themselves doing or saying really stupid shit then thinking ā€˜yeah that’s great, I’m posting it’. These people are utterly deluded. Mentally ill a lot of them. Society is doomed!

People still use Instagram?

I think it’s primarily adverts for overpriced stuff and drop shippers, influencers who spend more time posing at life than living it and wannabe influencers, oh and teasers for Threads.

Thank you, he has brought me a nice egg but as far as DD is concerned he hasn’t bothered ā€˜as she’s too young to know what’s going on’…

That’s true though, she is. You’ve wasted money that could be saved in her bank account for when she actually cares. You’ve triggered an argument over F all.

No one cares it’s your DD first Easter, Easter is completely insignificant to the vast majority of people. Take a few minutes with a cup of tea to contemplate what’s actually important.

Fioratourer · 20/04/2025 14:12

I’m with your dh unless you’re an influencer who makes a lot of money from it. Social media isn’t real maybe make a card with the outfit next year and send it to those who matter. Because clearly your dh hasn’t found it easier. Why do likes, comments and shares matter really it’s about the people/memories.

mainecooncatonahottinroof · 20/04/2025 14:13

OMG grow up!!!

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 20/04/2025 10:59

And you accidently picked up the phone whilst someone was using the Internet! Or you had to tell people you're using the Internet and it spent a good 24 hours to download something and then you had to burn it to CD.

CDs? I've still got floppy disks at the bottom of the desk drawer with all the dead mice and cables for legacy ports that PCs and laptops no longer have. I need to chuck it all out.

Gen X are all becoming grandparents now born 1965-82.

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.

If you carry on the way you're doing, you won't have too many anniversaries to worry about!!!

"Outfit and props" - have a listen to yourself!!!

NOBODY ELSE BLOODY CARES!!

mainecooncatonahottinroof · 20/04/2025 14:20

Whatslovegottodo25 · 20/04/2025 10:10

Well he has seen sense and agreed to a joint post, I’m sure you’ll be relieved to hear!

"Seen sense"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well he's not wrong

She won't have a clue.
Seriously, you sound "all about image" there's more to life than the insta

Bobnobob · 20/04/2025 10:27

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?

Oh wise up! It's one of the most ridiculous posts in a sea of ridiculous posts!!

Port1aCastis · 20/04/2025 14:28

Oh dearie me I think you need to grow up and stop picking fights over Instagram, how do you two get on in real life.

Boreded · 20/04/2025 14:28

Ffs

YOU DO NOT NEED TO LIVE YOUR LIFE ON SOCIALS!!!!

why don’t people get this…I mean, this isn’t even a first world problem it’s that pathetic

moose17 · 20/04/2025 14:32

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve read in ages. It really make me fear the for future generations

Laura36TTC · 20/04/2025 14:34

I mean this kindly but are you very young OP?

Either that or this has got to be a joke surely!?

Piusl · 20/04/2025 14:35

A bingo card for the thread, I’ve had a full house several times now.
