Would it make you upset if your significant other asked you to take a pic of him and his mom. And then one with just his parents. (While you are there with your child from previous marriage on Mothers Day). Then he proceeds to post pic of him and his mom. And one of his parents. Tags you. But then says “to my Mother. The best mother in the world.”

Not a single word about me

He said since he didn’t have a fresh picture of me and my son

Agreed, he's a doofus and an oaf (and you are in a relationship with him), but what is wrong with asking him to take a picture, and asking others to get a photo of your family? Blended families are not a new thing.

If there is more that can be done, do it, and try not to wait until after the fact to get this corrected.

You can sit and pout or have this straightened out.

Choose wisely, grasshopper, and don't complain about the consequences if nothing more can be generated, save to find another opportunity and get your photos updated. If you are not in England, the day is not dead yet, the sky is still light in most of America, and there is more to be done, outside of getting on a computer and reporting a family violation.

Asking to take a pic. No worries. But not including me and my son. Kinda sucks.

How old is your son?
Is he so young that your husband should have done something similar 'for' him?

Look, right wrong or in between, my husband used to say "You're not my mother"...not meanly or anything. It was just the way he saw it.
Don't get your panties all twisted about it since it may be how he was raised to think about it. If he's good and considerate to you in other ways, be happy.

You're not married, you're not a family. How well you mother your son has nothing to do with him.

I think you're overreacting, and feel entitled to rights and privileges not typically accorded to a girlfriend. Of course he is going to call his mom (and the mother of his child) the "best moms" he knows. You're neither.

You said “your son” and not “our son”. You just answered the question as to why.

I think the intention behind this "holiday" has been diluted into meaninglessness. A huge percentage of women in the world are mothers to someone. HE recognized the most important one he knows....HIS. By the same token, your son should have recognized YOU, correct? He did not slight you. Let it go. Or not.
