Since he is their child, and you're clearly not, I'm not sure what you're in a huff about.
I agree.
It's MOTHER'S DAY, not Significant Others' Day.
If he had a child with you, he might be more attuned to your feelings about being celebrated as a mom, but please please please learn to brush off this kind of thing, as I seriously doubt he meant any ill will.
Be glad he has a good relationship with his folks.

Without knowing your boyfriend (maybe he's insensitive in general) I think you're making something of nothing. This is mother's day, and he was celebrating his mother.
At the point when you finished taking pics of his family, you should have immediately said ok, my turn, can you take some pics of me and my son? And my guess (don't know) is he would have absolutely done it, cheerfully, and you could caption your pic celebrating Mother's day with the best son on the planet.
The picture is of him and his mom, not of you and him and his mom, so he posted it to his mom...why is that weird?
Is it because he said she's the best mom in the world? Fast forward 15 years and imagine your son asking his girlfriend to take a pic of you guys together. And he posts, "Here's a pic of me and my mom. It was taken by my girlfriend, who is the best mom in the world."
I am his wife. I’m Not a girlfriend. And he did get presents with my son, but we did activities with my son and i paid. And brunch ? I paid too.
Oh really? Because you said "significant other," not "husband," and you said "MY," not "our," son. Misleading much?
Are you asking us to believe that your husband said he couldn't post a pic of you with your child because he doesn't have any "fresh" ones?
Maybe you want to post a final version of the story before asking us to comment. You seem like you're just looking for a fight, posting information that can obviously be misinterpreted, then correcting people in a huff. For sympathy? The whole story doesn't make him look as bad? Or what?
No, I would not be offended by my husband posting a pic of his mom, to his mom.
If he literally blew me off for Mother's Day, yes, I'd be upset but did he? I don't think my husband posted pics of me today but he often does, so I don't care, I certainly wouldn't get into a peeing contest over whether he remembered to post a pic of me each and every time he posted one of his mom.
I adore my dil. She is the doting wife and mom.
But a light bulb moment happened at Easter. She is a photo buff and takes marvelous impromptu family pics! Yet strangely it's often without my sons side of the family. Meaning myself or his brother. I say not a word because I've taken to the back seat approach . My son though stood up from one of her inspiring photo hunts and says...darling...have you forgotten my mom and the kids mimi? She didn't think I cared...yet after the families gathered I thanked her...in kindness and said...may I have a copy then? It's heartbreaking sometimes being slighted...it's what the new generation figures is the norm. I just want some posterity. I have so few pics with my mom...and the ones I do have..remind me..she deserved to be more in the picture of life then standing in the bleachers so to speak. Wish more guys did have admiration for their mom's. ..yet rumor has it the wife or s.o assumed if he does..he has mommy issues. ..sad that folks aren't allowed to even like their parents...
I am his wife. I’m Not a girlfriend. And he did get presents with my son, but we did activities with my son and i paid. And brunch ? I paid too.
If you are his wife, wouldn't it be more like you both paid?? or are finances completely separate??
Is the boy your son, or both of your son??
